Product review: Pearl Izumi X-Alp Enduro IV

Wootten recently got a pair of the new X-Alp Enduro IV mountain bike shoes.  He got to try them out this past week at Michaux, High Knob & Massanutten.  These shoes offer a fully molded grippy rubber sole with spd inserts that go plenty far back towards the arch for our rocky technical riding we have here.   The three strap design allows for a snug fit.  A flexible toe box makes these rock walkers ideal for those that like to get off and push up the hill or shoot video of their friends.

The Enduro IVs rule as a pedaling platform.  The shoe is responsive; stiff where you need it, between the cleat and the heel.  You can really feel the bike through the sole.  Plus, they're easy to clip in and out of.  This is a lot of shoe for $110.
