Pearl Izumi X-Project Elite Cycling Shoe - Women's

Mountain bike shoes often have to sacrifice on something. To be comfortable for all-day wear, they lose snappiness, but to be responsive on the XC course, they often give up traction on more technical hike-a-bike sections. If you've been getting around this by keeping multiple pairs of shoes in your garage, let us offer an alternative.

The Pearl Izumi Women's X-Project Elite Mountain Bike Shoe comes with the lightness of an XC race shoe, and the attitude of a trail shoe that wants to go out adventuring after your race is finished. A carbon fiber sole, Boa dial closure, and adaptive synthetic uppers give it its race-ready XC pedigree, but underneath, beefy carbon-tipped TPU rubber lugs are begging to be taken into chunkier, muddier terrain. An EVA foam heel delivers extra cush when you're hopping off and on the bike during all-day soujourns, and the breathable three-layer uppers come free of overlays for a fit that won't feel restricting when a few wrong turns extend your ride.

Sidi Wire Carbon Air Push Cycling Shoe - Women's

The women's Carbon Air Push Shoes feature the same sole, upper material, and 360-degree retention systems as the models we've seen worn by the likes of Sagan, Martin, Froome — the list goes on. The only difference is that the last is Sidi's "tapered" women's version, so the shoe fits slimmer across the metatarsals, instep, and heel. The aim is to prevent cyclists with petite feet from drowning in their shoes — after all, this is a top-tier race model, so we expect the fit to be so spot on as to virtually disappear once the shoes are in place.

Regardless of the last design, Sidi's fit is legendary, but its aesthetics are just as important to the brand's longstanding reign at the top of the industry. The high-gloss Lorica Vernice upper is largely responsible for that high-fashion status, and the women's Carbon Air updates it with myriad perforations, adding a little retro-sneaker style and ventilation to the venerable material.

The redesigned Tecno-3 Push system is another update to the classic Sidi silhouette. The whole system involves two ratcheting dials, Sidi's proprietary, non-stretch monofilament wire, and a customizable fit at the instep and forefoot. The Push in the buckles' title refers to the incorporation of a red button on the unit that releases the ratchet's lever for quick adjustment, saving you the onerous task of flipping the lever up yourself. At ride's end, pinching two release buttons on either side of the dial loosens the wire. As with all of Sidi's fastening hardware, you can easily fiddle with the Tecno 3 Push buckles in the saddle.

The women's Carbon Air also sees a return of Sidi's superlative vented carbon fiber sole. It shares the same construction method that Sidi developed with its Carbon Lite sole, yet it relegates the "Lite" model to the heavy bin by losing an additional 38g with no corresponding loss of stiffness. The weight loss may be due to the negative space of the vents, which shuttle cooling air into interior channels. The vents can be opened or closed depending on the temperature and your preferences — even in the middle of a ride.

Also returning from previous top-shelf offerings is Sidi's improved Heel Security System (or HSS), which keeps your foot positively planted in the shoe. It involves a rigid, composite band that can be tightened or loosened to adjust the amount of play you allow your heels. The shoe's tongue and instep strap have both been padded generously to allow for supreme comfort with tight buckles. Finally, the buckles, wires, heel pads, and heel retention devices are fully replaceable.

Giro Riela RII Cycling Shoe - Women's

Hit the trails for a day of rolling singletrack or push it even further to full-blown backcountry adventure in the Giro Riela RII Shoes for women. Built with tough uppers, rugged outsoles, and footbeds that keep you comfortable from first to last mile, the Riela RII's are hungry for the trail, and with Giro's sleek styling, you don't have to stress hitting the brewery for a post ride pale ale with the ladies.

The Riela RII uses the same over all construction as her predecessor, the Riela R, with three hook-and-loop straps securing your foot in, and microfiber uppers, but those of us who get a wicked case of hot-foot on most rides get a big win with the addition of large mesh panels along the toe box and lateral portions of the shoes. The microfiber still uses perforations, just as it used to, to help with venting, but the added mesh aids in moisture transfer, helping your feet stay cool and comfortable all day long. A comfortable EVA footbed gives you the support you need inside of the shoe to stay comfortable, and underneath, a nylon injected outsole stiffens things up, so you don't waste your energy on a shoe flexing under your pedal stroke, and instead transfer that power directly to the bike.

The outsole is also topped off with hearty portions of rubber lugs that add traction to the shoe, so when you have to make your way through river beds or up steep, rocky faces, you'll have the grip you need to do it safely. To cap it off, there is a large recessed cleat pad underneath your foot, so you have plenty of room to lock in any 2-bolt mountain cleat, so you can clip into your favorite pedals and ride off into the sunset.

Giro Terradura Mountain Cycling Shoe - Women's

The Giro Terradura Women's Mountain Shoes strike the perfect balance between super stiff-soled shoes that transfer all the power but aren't great for walking and soft-soled shoes that walk well but feel squishy on the pedals. Giro uses a strong and durable nylon shank that's stiff enough to get down the trail fast and just flexible enough to keep your heels in your shoes when hiking your bike up a steep incline. A Vibram lugged outsole also grips rocks and other obstacles that you come across on the trails better than shoes that come outfitted with plastic lugs.

Even with all that attention to the outsole, Giro didn't ignore fit. The Terradura's upper is designed to fit a narrower foot, with a ratcheting buckle and two hook-and-look closures for a comfy and secure fit. Perforations in the microfiber upper let feet breathe, and toe box reinforcement provides durable impact protection.

Oh hey I'm going to do a clicker review. Than normal of me giro teredor oh. Mountain bike shoes for a second. I normally wait a lot longer before i do. Before i do a review of something just to make sure i get a really good feel for it but i didn't have to return. These because it's fitting other issues so I'm just going to be giving this.

Walking with cleats on your shoes you. Don't hear too much grinding of them here a little bit but not too much the. Sole material is very solid and doesn't. Move very much the whole way through but unless these shoes don't feel as stiff. As based walking as you would imagine. From house if they kill peddling um the. Closure mechanism is three velcro straps. On top with their goes my cat knocking. Over stuff and although the bottom. Closure right here i would say is sort. Of more appearance than useful middle. Want to start with it'll lift top to. Really would be the bulk of the work with velcro and a ratcheting. System that lets you pull up on this little lever and how to tighten up and just click this button to loosen up so. That's the overall just impressions the. Challenges with these shoes is one like. A lot of cycling shoes has the problem of experience the cult knocking overs done like a lot of. Cycling shoes have the problem of these are pretty narrow if you don't have. Narrow segment seat and I've got ten and. A half wide eye size up on these shoes. To a forty-six after trying a forty-five first and even the 46 and such we're on. The outside on a size hour in florida a. Half five dollar ride the outer edge of. My foot ends up sort of getting a key. And um and next later in that week when. I was writing it was hurting the same way so unfortunately with that in. Mind i wasn't able to keep holding on to these especially since I've done it twice already and on top of that a. Second issue that i couldn't get to stop. Happening about halfway through my ride. It became really noticeable that the tongue was dragging downward and then. Bunching up against the against my foot. Against the top of my foot leading to. The seraph it was uncomfortable and not. A real problem yet but considering how i. Like to do like all-day rides pretty. Frequently something like that really is. A problem in the long term especially because i think i probably loosened. All the buckles and pulled up the tongue. And tightened everything back down a. Half-dozen times both I'll do that on and off the bike. And still didn't end up getting it to. Where i wanted it to be it wasn't for that i proud i might actually try to.

Mavic Echappee Trail Elite Cycling Shoe - Women's

As you take inventory of your ride kit this spring while waiting patiently for the trails to dry out, consider replacing the shoes that gave you aches and pains for much of last year. Riding with control and having the right fit aren't mutually exclusive, and the Mavic Echappee Trail Elite Shoe proves it. Built with a higher volume shape to accommodate riders with wider feet and more prominent insteps, the Echappee provides a roomier fit while still feeling secure on your foot. Mavic's Quick Lace system and Comfort Strap take care of fit adjustments, ensuring the extra space doesn't translate to sloppiness on long climbs and fire road transitions. Plus, a power-transferring midsole with just enough flex for comfort on hike-a-bikes means you won't sacrifice any on-trail responsiveness for an improved fit.

Sidi Dominator 7 SR Cycling Shoe - Women's

Even when you're on a trail where you know you can ride every element, you may have to get off your bike in less than ideal conditions. If a downed tree or an injured rider block your way, you'll be glad to have the confidence of stepping onto the Sidi Dominator 7 SR Mountain Bike Shoe. This shoe features rubber lugs to ensure you can find traction even in muddy conditions, and is even compatible with toe spikes (sold separately) if you need more. On the bike, the Dominator performs equally well with its reinforced nylon sole that efficiently transfers your power to your pedal. EVA padding surrounds your foot to alleviate pressure points, and a reinforced heel maintains your foot's alignment to ensure efficiency. The Soft Instep closure system features a dual-directional ratchet strap (that you can even adjust while riding) as well as two hook-and-loop straps so you can customize the fit to each part of your foot. This women's model features an enhanced taper, narrower heel cup, and lower volume instep to help you find a precise fit.

Shimano SH-TR5 Cycling Shoe - Women's

After a couple years of predictable T1 battles with the myriad ratchets and straps of your regular cycling shoes and the resulting extended transition splits, it's time to up your game with a pair of Shimano Women's SH-TR5 Cycling Shoes. Their fiberglass reinforced nylon soles provide efficient power transfer at a much more palatable price than carbon soled options, freeing up cash for an extra race entry or two throughout the year.

The SH-TR5's two hook-and-loop straps are easy to operate from the saddle with shaky, wet fingers, and an asymmetrical heel loop helps you pull each shoe on while pedaling for valuable seconds gained over your fellow competitors. Breathable mesh and perforations cover the shoe's upper, ushering air in let your feet dry off from the swim leg and stay cool 'til T2. p>

Louis Garneau Mica II Cycling Shoe - Women's

Louis Garneau's Mica II Cycling Shoe goes a long way to dispel the notion that you have to spend a fortune on riding shoes in order to keep your feet happy. As a good option for everything from big cross country rides to everyday trail riding, the Mica II keeps your feet comfortable on long rides while helping you put power to the pedals efficiently. And while they may be on the more budget-friendly side of the spectrum, these shoes don't skip out on features or quality, as they come with Garneau's award-winning X-Comfort Zone technology trickled down from top-tier models.

When cycling, feet tend to swell due to the increase in blood flow to the muscles. This can lead to numbness and hot spots that could potentially cut your ride short. Garneau addresses this issue with their X-Comfort Zone technology, an integrated stretch panel on the outside of the toe box that allows the foot to swell up to 5mm while riding, thus eliminating hot spots and discomfort. It also allows the shoes to comfortably fit riders with average and above average forefoot widths, taking some of the guesswork out of shoe selection.

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

Some of the best rides require a bit of time off the bike, hiking through sections of unrideable terrain. The Women’s X-Alp Peak Cycling Shoe makes the most out of these types of rides, whether you're carrying your bike up the mountain to reach an epic descent, or balancing on wet logs during a stream crossing. It comes down to the sole, which features Pearl Izumi's 1:1 Next Step design, and a sticky yet durable Vibram rubber compound. A 3/4-length carbon composite shank allows the shoe to flex just ahead of the ball of the foot for a natural walking gait, without compromising efficiency when you're putting power to the pedals. The lightweight seamless upper delivers breathability and all-day comfort, and shrugs off errant rock strikes thanks to added toe protection.

Ride Concepts Livewire Shoe - Women's

When it comes to the weekend, you're not one to waste time fussing over your shoe choice for the day's activities.

This street-styled shoe can seamlessly move from a backyard BBQ to burly DH lines, thanks to their tough-as-nails construction. They feature durable, synthetic uppers with anti-abrasion mesh that hold up to rocks and stray branches, and tacky DST 6.0 rubber that grips your pedals firm to keep your stance solid when the trail gets a little hairy ahead of you.

Shimano SH-XC5 Cycling Shoe - Women's

Shimano always delivers a consistent cycling shoe. We are always amazed with the features it packs into a shoe at every price point. We also enjoy the fact that they wear at a glacial pace. Shimano performance and reliability meets lace up convenience and comfort with the Women's SH-XC5 Mountain Bike Shoe.

Shimano bills the XC5 as a shoe for cross-country, cyclocross, and gravel riding. The synthetic perforated leather upper is lighter and more durable than natural leathers so you get an easy to care for shoe that always fits consistently and dries quickly. On the front of the shoe, the sole has a reinforced threaded area for mounting spikes making it perfect for slimy, muddy CX run-ups or scrambling up loose terrain on hike-a-bike sections. Shimano rates the shoes as a 7 out of 12 on the sole stiffness scale and the lightweight and rigid carbon fiber reinforced sole offers plenty of efficiency when pedaling in earnest. This comes without being overly stiff for off-the-bike running between the planks or into a country store to fuel up for the last push home.

We'll admit, we've become fans of laces here at headquarters. The design is light and it provides a near-custom fit. Shimano adds a Mini Power Strap mid-foot that provides additional support without losing any of the beautiful aesthetics of the shoe. The exclusive Michelin outsole adds remarkable traction when hoofing it on foot and the full-length coverage helps tremendously in the anti-slip department if you miss your clip-in on the first go-round.

Mavic Sequence Elite Cycling Shoe - Women's

You've got a new bike, a MIPS helmet, and a closet full of kit, and all you need to live your road riding dreams is a pair of shoes that affordably balances comfort and efficient power transfer. Mavic's Sequence Elite Women's Cycling Shoes tick all those boxes with a streamlined profile that will make any kit look pro. With a carbon reinforced composite sole and supportive, micro-adjustable fit, the Sequence represents a definitive step-up from Mavic's entry-level offerings that still leave room in your cash flow for weekend ride adventures and local race fees.

Dialing in a micro-adjustable fit along the shoe's upper, the Ergo Dial maintains support while its quick-release functionality makes removal a painless affair, which will be much appreciated after a long day in the saddle The Ergo Dial is paired with two Ergo Straps along the mid-foot and lower for easy adjustments on the fly.

Shimano SH-ME3 Cycling Shoe - Women's

Give your feet something to be happy about by hitting the trail in the Shimano SH-ME3 Mountain Bike Shoes. Balancing comfort and performance, they feature a medium flex that offers the stiffness necessary for laying down power, but enough give to keep you comfy when you need to hike-a-bike. Two hook-and-loop straps over your forefoot and instep hold your foot in place, working in tandem with the reverse buckle that ratchets down a precise fit through easy tightening.

Shimano's supple synthetic leather uppers wrap your foot securely, and use a mesh patch at the toes to keep things cool as you work up a sweat.The shoe is built on a women's-specific last, so it provides a fit tuned more towards narrower feet. This is especially prevalent in the ankle, where it's slim and hugs your heel into place to prevent slip when you're really pushing it on the trail. The lightweight sole employs rubber and an all-around tread for traction in all conditions when you're not on the bike, and a TORBAL midsole allows for your natural flow motion while in the saddle. Then, fiberglass reinforcement on the midsole helps you mash up punchy climbs without adding much weight while still allowing for comfortable flex.

Pearl Izumi X-ALP Launch SPD Cycling Shoe - Women's

Riding clipped in doesn't have to mean you're regulated to goofy looking carbon soled kicks that make you walk like a puppy in high-heels. With options like the Pearl Izumi X-ALP Launch SPD Mountain Bike Shoes for Women you'll fly down trails with the power of clipless shoes, but with a sense of street style that passes on the brewery patio when your ride ends and its time for a crisp IPA to cut the summer heat. These style-loaded shoes don't stop there, though, they load you up with adventure-ready technology that can charge deep into the woods to blast berms previously only lapped by elk and rabbits. With a bonded upper your feet will be hugged into place securely, keeping your footing sure on or off of the bike, and rugged soles grip the dirt when you need to hop off the bike to scope out the trail ahead before dropping in.

The X-ALP Launch SPD's set you up with a stiff enough sole, thanks to a nylon composite shank, and serious grip that locks into the trail when you're off the bike. Its built with an EVA midsole that cushions blows from sharp rocks or lofty drops, and Vibram Megagrip outsoles that holds true to the dirt under foot. The lugs are designed with open an chevron shaped pattern, directionally placed to give you braking power in the heel, and propelling power in the toe while maintaining surefooted grip. Even the pedal zone features Vibram Megagrip with siping to keep mud away, so engaging is quick and snappy when you clip in.

Pearl Izumi X-ALP Canyon Cycling Shoe - Women's

Your idea of a fun weekend ride might be a few laps at the local trail network— but sometimes you dive deeper, pack up your bike with a few days worth of supplies, and head beyond the trails most traveled. You know your riding is versatile, and with your feet being your biggest contact point with the bike, it's important that they are, too. That's why Pearl Izumi built the Women's X-ALP Canyon Mountain Bike Shoes with a beefy, reliable tread, and bonded synthetic uppers that let your feet breathe when you're lugging your bike over-shoulder across a river, or up through overgrown sections of trails long forgotten.

The X-ALP Canyon shoes feature a bonded synthetic top with ample mesh panels that keep your feet from baking on hot trails. They are low-cut at the ankle to provide a light and fast fit that allows for natural ankle rotation off of the bike. While flex is good for miles on foot, a stiff sole is a must for power transfer on the bike, so Pearl equips the X-ALP Canyon's with a nylon composite shank to maximize power transfer to the pedals, without compromising torsional flex for hiking. Underneath the shank you'll find a lightweight EVA midsole that cushions your steps comfortably, and a beefy carbon-rubber lugged outsole that provides directional traction on foot. The center of the shoe is ready for clipping in with 2-bolt SPD compatibility that sits recessed and out of the way of your lugs, so your cleats don't get hung up on rocks when you're making your way up steep faces.
