The Women's Expedition Shoes by PEARL iZUMi are designed for riders who treat the route like an adventure. Engineered to strike the perfect balance between efficient power transfer and off-bike comfort, these shoes are a go-to for gravel rides, bikepacking, and unpredictable terrain. The Next Step Nylon composite sole delivers confident pedaling performance while maintaining just enough flex for hike-a-bike sections or coffee stops. A dual-closure system pairs a BOA L6E Fit System at the midfoot with a forefoot strap for zonal adjustability that eliminates hot spots and locks in a stable, supportive fit. A heavily perforated synthetic leather upper enhances breathability, while soft TX lace guides reduce pressure across the top of the foot. An EVA insert in the heel provides subtle but noticeable vibration damping to reduce fatigue on longer rides. The reinforced toe bumper adds trail-worthy protection for rock strikes and rugged conditions. | Pearl Izumi Women's Expedition Mountain Bike Shoes
