Pearl Izumi Cycling Shoes Tour Road EU 42.5

Reposhing this item I purchased from @renabike. They were as pictured, and as described, but the fit of this particular model was just too small for my feet. I think highly of Pearl Izumi cycling shoes, and normally their size 43 (or even 42) is a good fit, but these I could not get my feet into at all. I would suggest that they fit more like a 41 or 41.5 in the real world. I gotta say I was a little disappointed, as these are quality shoes, and really do look great. "Combining the classic look of a lace up with modern sole technology, the Tour Road provides performance at a tremendous value. Our supportive nylon composite sole integrates a stiff carbon plate at the ball of the foot to maximize power transfer, with the flexibility to run either two bolt SPD or three bolt SPD-SL cleats. The fully bonded seamless upper construction creates a slipper like fit that is highly adjustable thanks to the traditional lacing system." * Seamless upper offers exceptional comfort and avoids hot spots by adapting to your unique foot shape * Traditional lace closure for a precise fit and all-day comfort * Lace lock provides a safe place to stash your laces to keep them free of your drivetrain * 1:1® Composite Power Plate with carbon fiber forefoot insert provides lightweight stiffness and durability (stiffness rating 8) * Plate features Direct-Vent technology for cooling and drainage * 3-bolt SPD-SL and 2-bolt SPD compatible * Weight: ~270g Questions?
