Pearl Izumi X-Alp Summit Cycling Shoe - Women's

No slipping a pedal, no matter how chundery it gets. The X-Alp Summits are all-mountain shoes designed for bike days on the bike. A stiff shank delivers your power efficiently on the climbs, while the Boa dial and a Velcro toe strap keep you feeling locked in on the descents. Combining a Boa and lower strap lets you set your perfect forefoot tension and forget it, then just use the dial lock-in every time you head out for a ride. Securing your foot this way much more natural feeling than putting the strap at the top and the Boa lower down.
