PEARL IZUMI X-Alp Launch MTB Shoes Phantom / Black, 40

Mountain bikers who ride flat pedals deserve shoes with as much advanced technology as those who ride clipless, which is why we developed this flat pedal shoe with a BOA® Fit System to provide unrivaled fit and comfort. The redesigned Launch Flat builds on everything we love about riding flat pedals: freedom of movement, versatility, walkability, and kicks all the downsides to the curb. The Launch uses a lightweight, quick-drying upper, constructed from durable Cordura® fabric made with recycled content. We partnered with the rubber experts at Goodyear® to develop a tread compound that’s both sticky and long-wearing for our PinLoc Outsole™, which is wider for more surface contact and uses a chevron tread design to capture pedal pins, keeping your feet planted and in control. Features: - BOA® Fit System with L6C dial lets riders fine-tune fit while they ride - PinLoc Outsole™ with premium Goodyear® rubber provides outstanding grip to keep you in control - Seamless, perforated upper is breathable and quick-drying, made with durable recycled Cordura® - Nylon shank provides stiffness for pedaling comfort and efficiency - Reinforced toe box for added protection - EVA foam midsole cushions impacts - BOA® Fit System with L6C dial lets riders fine-tune fit while they ride PinLoc Outsole™ with premium Goodyear® rubber provides outstanding grip to keep you in control Seamless, perforated upper is breathable and quick-drying, made with durable recycled Cordura® Nylon shank provides stiffness for pedaling comfort and efficiency Reinforced toe box for added protection EVA foam midsole cushions impacts Designed specifically for flat pedals, not clipless compatible Care: - Shoe care and maintenance: clean mud off with a damp sponge and then stuff the inside of the shoes with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. never clean shoes in a washing machine. keep the outsole clean by scrubbing with a soft brush when needed. air dry at room temperature. do not dry the shoes by a fire, radiator or other heat source. do not leave them in your car on a hot day. extreme, direct heat can cause the materials to dry out or crack. this will damage your shoes and void your warranty.
