The Pearl Izumi Select MTB shoe is a great basic shoe for trail and commuting. Pearl Izumi did not skimp on their basic mountain shoe these shoes still provide great power transfer due to the stiffness and durabilty of the SELECT Grade Nylon and Composite Fiber plate. Your feet will stay cool due to the clever placement of venting and the concave shaping of the shoe will provide great anatomical support.

I purchased these women's Pearl Izumi Select Mountain Bike Shoes for use in my spinning classes. The fit seems good. However, the first time I tried them the upper part of my foot tingled and ached - badly. I loosened them but the pain continued. Does anyone know what causes this? I read that it could be too narrow of a shoe but it doesn't feel narrow so..hmmm. Is there a "breaking in" period with the shoes? This is my first pair.
I'd appreciate any information you could give me. Thanks!

Hi Sherri,
There is a breaking process with any cycling shoe. The leather will eventually loosen and mold to your foots specific shape. A couple of suggestions for you: look into purchasing a foot bed. Something from Superfeet will work great. remove the original foot-bed and add the Superfeet foot bed. Also, foot tingle and ache could be related to cleat/pedal position. Pearl Izumi devotes a lot of time into R & D for all their products. Were positive if you look into some of our suggestions and give the shoe some time to break-in they will fit great.

How long of a breaking process? My feet are in a good amount of pain throughout the process and I can't imagine another spin session wearing these! This last session I loosened them significantly. I'm not thrilled about spending this amount of money on a shoe, only to have to purchase a different foot bed. I know this is a good brand with good reviews - that's why I purchased them. I'm just wondering if perhaps they are too narrow for my feet? If that's the case, the leather can only loosen so much to mold to my foot.
