Customer Reviews Pearl Izumi Vesta Studio Cycling Shoe

great looking shoe..runs small though I would order half size up

Loved the style. They looked great in person, but I should have ordered a half size smaller. Because they didn't fit and they didn't support delta clips, I opted for a different shoe (so I wouldn't have to change the pedals on my bike to SPD).

I used the size conversion chart and ordered what it suggested for a 9.5 size. When I received the first pair I had to return them because they were way too large. I went down a quarter size and probably could’ve gone down a whole half-size. I have a wide foot and was very pleased with these shoes, however once I went from cycle to the studio the heel slipped tremendously. I have now worn them and can’t exchange them. I have even tried wearing thicker socks, but heel still slips.

I spend 3-4 hours every week spinning and rely on a comfortable bike shoe with a solid sole. The good of this Studio Cycling shoe: The vibrant color of the pink was amazing. Not critical for an indoor cycling shoe like it is for the road, but it is a very pretty color. The 9.5 size is my usual and fit well and comfortably. The bad: the off-gassing of the material was very strong. The ugly: while the shoe was comfortable and the velco tab was great, the color and the construction conspired to make my narrow foot look extremely wide. Disappointed that they fit so well but the combo of the wide look and icky smell was too much.
