Overall:

Have become my new favorite shoe. No break in period and lots of cushion. I have wide feet and these fit quite well. Zappos is the best and shoes came overnight.

Overall:

I love these shoes! I have wider feet and need stability from my running shoes. I've been a loyal New Balance wearer and had never heard of Pearl Izumi until browsing on Zappos. I took a chance buying them, but I'm so glad I did! The amount of padding is comfortable and feel sturdy without being heavy. Love them! Love Zappos!

Overall:

I would recommend these shoes for any runner who requires a neutral shoe and weight 120-160 lbs. One piece sock liner. Feet stay dry because of great ventilation. No blisters if you get the right size! Good snug heel and mid foot support. Will follow review with tread wear and durability. The tread pattern makes this shoe versatile for both pavement and off road. Very light for tempo or pace runs. Very comfortable. I would buy this again!

I love this shoe! I usually run between 35 to 40 miles a week and this shoe does really well for me. This shoe is so feathery and cushioned at the same time it is unreal. I will by a pair of these shoes again. Thanks.

Reviewer: Jon from Santa Barbara, CA

Overall:

Used these shorts for a sprint tri in Southern California. Worked great, comfortable on the ride and run. The Chamois is an actual pad as opposed to a piece of felt as in some other tri shorts. I will still use my Attack shorts for training rides but these are good competition shorts.\r\n\r\n

Overall:

Believe the US sizes, not the European sizes here. I am an 8 and usually wear a European 38, so I didn't believe that I would need to order a 39.5 as was suggested by the sizing given here. So I ordered the 38. It turns out Zappos was right and I should have ordered the 39.5. I did and it fits.

Overall:

I'm very picky when purchasing shoes. The PI Syncros are my first purchase of this brand. All I can say is they are as good as it gets for a trail shoe. I should note that I wear them almost daily; they are that versatile.

Overall:

Excellent company to deal with. I had to return my first pair of shoes because the European sizes ran "small". Zappos paid for the return freight and emailed me as soon as they received them. A month later, I reordered the same shoe in a larger size and they upgraded the free shipping to next day air at no cost. I highly recommend this company.

Overall:

These are the most comfortable shoes for off road running. They have an amazing stabilizer bar that runs across the broad section of the sole and stops your ankle from tipping over on rocks or dirt. The shoe runs a little large and wide across the front, but great for a narrow heel.

I love this shoe. Comfortable right out of the box with cushioning and support. Run 60-70 miles a week and best shoe ever worn. Love Zappos, got the next day.

The Quest bib short is comfortable, reasonably priced, & durable. The purchase through Zappos was problem free & easy. The product was well packaged and I am completely satisfied.

Overall:

Love! Great support. I am a beginning runner with extra weight that I'm trying to lose. These were recommended because I overpronate. Lining is incredibly smooth. Solid construction. I own 3 pairs (one in every color of this style).

Overall:

Might become my favorite running shoe of all time. I know, I was thinking "Pearl Izumi?! They make cool cycling jackets." These shoes, though, are fantastic. I am a big guy who needs some cushioning and some stability control. But I like to go fast. I don't need nor want pillows on my feet. These shoes fit the bill perfectly. No hot spots, no numbness, and a nice comfortable fit. I'm sold. Bye bye Asics, hello Pearl. Run like an animal.

This is the first pair of Pearls that I have tried. I was very impressed with the relative lightness of the shoe and the control and cushioning it afforded. Highly recommend.

Reviewer: Anonymous from Seattle

Overall:

I was actually trying to buy the X-Alp WRX. I got these accidentally, but when they came I decided to keep them. I wear them on my road bike commuting 5 miles to school and for road rides. Pros: very comfortable, SPD cleats work fine, very breathable, look pretty cool, pretty light. Cons: could be stiffer (but they are a MTB shoe), not at all waterproof (but relatively fast drying), feet get a little cold at night when it's cold out (very ventilated), would like them to be yellow instead of yellow-orangish (to match my bike). All in all a very good shoe that I am happy with and will wear until they're dead.

Overall:

Love the shoe, however I am a true 11.5 and had to order a size 13 in this particular shoe. They run small and still are a little tight on me. Wear them to your favorite sport's bar or athletic event, a real head turner! Will hit your wallet price wise, however, they are worth the look. I purchased the X-Alp Enduro's as well and I just can't stop getting enough compliments on them.

Reviewer: JP M from Louisiana

Overall:

Really great shoe, would have expected to pay way more than I did. Buckles work really well. Already taken a few nasty crashes and shoes held up great. Cleats have a lane on the bottom that makes clipping in really easy. Would recommend this shoe to anybody.

Pearl Izumi Quest Bib Short

Reviewer: Vinny from South Florida

Overall:

Comfortable and supportive.I ordered the bibs on a Thursday evening and to my surprise, I got them Friday morning before 12PM...go figure. When I put them to the test, they passed. The chamois was thicker than I expected which was a really big benefit;since I am a mountain biker. I intend to replace my Primal Wear bibs with more of these. Price is another deciding factor.

Reviewer: from Rhode Island

Overall:

I think Pearl Izumi shorts in general have gotten a little over-padded in recent years, but aside from that, I like these shorts. I have very chafe-prone skin and ride long (80-100+ miles) distances, and these have worked fine, with appropriate application of Chamois Butt'r.

These shoes are great, but they fit about a half size small. I have always worn a 10.5 but needed an 11 in this shoe.

Overall:

Pearl Izumi Infini T is an amazing shirt. True to size. Great Quality. Pearl Izumi gear with the exceptional Zappos service that\'s a winning combination! Thank you for the awesome service. I ordered my gear around 6pm ET and received it the next day before noon. Outstanding! Zappos lived up to the reputation I have only read about. You exceeded my expectations. I have already made other purchases with Zappos... Thank you

Reviewer: Nancy M from Florida

Overall:

For someone who needs a really stable shoe, this is it. I have another pair of older style PIs and love them, but needed a new pair and these are perfect for my over pronating foot. For those who reviewed the shoe and said it only last 3-4 months, here's a hint: Never wear the same shoe 2 days in a row. If you can manage to get two pairs and trade them off, they will last much much longer. Zappos service is extraordinary! My shoes arrived the next day with no shipping costs. That made my feet very happy!

Pearl Izumi PI Limited Edition SL Jersey

Reviewer: Anonymous from Wilmington, NC

Overall:

This jersey looks great in person! I love it. It's my only cycling shirt so I wear it every time I ride and it has held up nicely in the wash on delicate. I was worried that the black would make me feel hot, but it has been great! I am a true x-small and it fits pretty well. My chest size is a 32C so it was a pretty close fit. So if you have a large bust, I would recommend going up in size. I have a short torso so it fits well, but the shirt is pretty short (most cycling jerseys are). It's great! I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

This is a very comfortable riding shoe. Very stiff sole for great energy transfer to the pedals. This was the shoe my husband bought and I bought the woman\'s version which is the same shoe only a different color.
