New Pearl Izumi cycling shoes, now in stock!

The new Spring 2011 Pearl Izumi shoes have arrived at Century Cycles and we are excited about two new models that both feature running-shoe-style uppers with traditional lace closure like your other favorite shoes:

The Pearl Izumi X-Alp Seek IV (for both men and women -- men's shown at left; $100) is comfortable and efficient for bicycling, hiking or walking. These sweet shoes feature running shoe uppers that are light, quick-drying and breathable synthetic/mesh with full laces for a custom fit. They also boast dual-density EVA outsoles/midsoles with firmer EVA plates under your cleats for pedaling efficiency and beveled heels for easy walking, plus their lugged soles grip great on all surfaces.

The Pearl Izumi Fuel (for both men and women -- women's shown at left; $95) are super-stylish, lightweight cycling shoes that work great on and off the bike. Designed to be a dual-purpose shoe, the Fuel has soles that are stiff for pedaling efficiency yet have enough flexibility for walking comfortably too. The running-shoe-style upper features mesh for breathability, lightness and a sweet fit and feel.
