Customer Reviews Pearl Izumi Vesta Studio Cycling Shoe

These are perfect! When the cleats are attached, they are truly recessed and don't make any noise when walking around. The shoe itself has a lot of the sturdiness of a cycling shoe but it's definitely comfy enough to walk around in after a ride. I've already had multiple people surprised to find out that these are cycling shoes with cleats! They really do look like regular sneakers. If you're like me and really don't like the aesthetic or impracticality of classic cycling shoes, then these are for you! One note- I don't think that the size conversion chart is totally accurate. I wear a size 8 in street shoes and ordered a 39 which fit perfectly. Maybe it has to do with the shape of my foot or something, but that was my experience.

Unfortunately these are not compatible with residential Pelotons which use Delta cleats; these shoes would only work on commercial Pelotons which use SPD cleats

These are really comfortable! I have a wide foot, and sometimes shoes can feel too narrow...but these are great! I wish I would have known which cleats to use with them, though...they take a 2-bolt cleat!

Aesthetically, these shoes are really great and I like the recessed cleat. They're also easy to get on and off. Though the rest of the shoe fits well, the heel does slip considerably when I walk in them. However, since I bought these for spin and not walking around, it doesn't bother me too much.

I prefer the tennis-shoe type of spin shoe for indoor classes, and wanted to try these out. I really wanted to love these shoes, but there's a hard plastic lining around the heel that dug in. It only bothered me on one foot, but will be returning due to that. Otherwise, they would have been great and quite comfortable.

These fit so nice. There is enough room in the toe box for me to enjoy spinning again.

I am usually a 10.5 or 11 size shoe, so I got an 11 since I like a roomer spin shoe. They fit good - maybe slightly tight around the ball of my foot, but I think it will stretch out / I didn't notice it so much when I was riding. They feel very sturdy when riding, which I love!

I liked the look and sneaker-feel of these shoes, but the sizing is not accurate. I am normally a women's 7.5 or 8. It says a size 40 should be a US 8, which is what I ordered. But when they arrived the box says EU 40/ US 8.5. They are definitely too big. You can see that another brand I bought (top box) says 40/ 7.8 and they fit perfectly.

Fit larger than expected. I'm normally a 7.5 in sneakers, ordered a EU 38.5 / US 7.25 in these, and found them to be a half size big and much too wide in the heel. My foot kept slipping while pedaling with no good way to fully tighten the heel. May work well if you have wide feet! I really wanted them to work as I love the breathability and street-to-studio functionality.

Purchased my regular shoe size and they fit great!

Perfect! Order your normal size.

They fit very well. I put cleats on them—-no problem—-hopped on the spin bike and did an hour class! They felt great. I would recommend them to everyone.

I find these to be a bit narrow but they’ve broken in a little more over time. Initially after using these with my IC4 bike, I had some numbness in my toes. I believe this was partially the narrowness but also because of some bad positioning on my part; after redoing the cleats a few times, adjusting my seat, and making sure not to pull the Velcro too tight, I don’t have the issue anymore. Much better than riding with toe cages. I only use them indoors.

The red, almost neon, shoes make me very happy. My first cycle shoes. I will use in spin class and on the road soon. Bought primarily for spin class and the hard sole is great support. I can't see me walking much in these. And I am not using the clips.

I love these. I just switched from non-recessed cleats and these are so much more convenient. I now put them on in the locker room and walk to the spin studio whereas before I wore crocs between the two rooms. They are great on the bike as well.

I wanted bright, flashy bike shoes, and I got them! My feet always hurt on rides longer than 40 miles, but these shoes are comfortable and adjustable. The closures are velcro, so I can loosen them on-the-fly, and there's no worrying about laces coming untied.

I like the ease of putting these on. The recessed clip also allows me to hop on an elliptical or do floor work without changing shoes. Not the best studio cycle shoes I've owned but the most convenient!

Love these shoes, so much more comfortable than my old cycling shoes. Fit true to size with plenty of room in toe box. Material is breathe-able and most importantly, highly visible in this hot pink color.

Loved these shoes but the heel was too loose for cycling.

Would have kept these if they fitted. On website described as US 7.25 but smaller than that.

I was worried about sizing because cycling shoes seem to be notoriously small. I wear mostly a 7 and sometimes a 6.5. Zappos recommended the 37.5 and they’re perfect! Just roomy enough in the toe that I’m not crowded. Very supportive and snug. With cleats made a huge difference in my ride right away.

The color is so beautiful (bright pink) and they are very comfortable. I like that when I walk the clip doesn’t touch the ground because the bottom of the shoe has an area that is hollowed out for the clip. I love these shoes

Size is a hard one to figure with this shoe.....I wear 8.5-9 that is a 41 (not 39 as most European sizes) in this shoe.Otherwise it's a nice cycling shoe

First off... This shoe is NOT RED-it is Electric PiNK.The sizing is hard to figure out.I normally wear a size 39 in European size which is a 9---in this shoe a 41 is a 9- It is a nice cycling shoe if you can get the correct size

I ordered size 41 based on others reviews. I have always been a 40, size 9. The 41 is a little large, but I will keep them. The 40 might be too small. Love the color and style. Just need to order my SPD cleats.
