X-Alp Gravel Cycling Shoe

Gravel riding, in general, requires a fine balance between mountain and road technology. You need grip, walkability, and unwavering pedaling stiffness, and Pearl's X-Alp Gravel Cycling Shoe aims to deliver on all fronts, so you can hammer down the road less traveled with comfortable support.

  • A shoe that balances road and MTB tech for total gravel performance
  • Perforated synthetic leather uppers are durable and breathable
  • Single L6 boa offers equal pressure adjustment over instep
  • EVA insert at heel provides vibration damping on harsh roads
  • Keep your toes safe with added protection at toe box
  • Beefy lugs provide solid grip for off-bike sections
  • Stiff nylon sole doesn't waste your watts or flex under pressure

Fantastic Gravel Shoe

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times
  • Fit: True to size
  • Size Bought: 43

I have used these shoes for a few months now. They are extremely comfortable and durable. They run slightly big for me so I would size down if you are between sizes. The BOA system works great and has been very reliable so far.
