Why We Like The X-Alp Launch Mid WRX Shoe
When our trail date calls for overcast conditions on an already mucky hillside, we grab the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Launch Mid WRX Shoe to keep us fresh in mid-top, water-resistant fashion. The durable Cordura upper material provides seamless support that cradles your feet and is treated with a WRX water-shedding membrane. A Boa Fit System with an L6C dial makes for easy adjustments and reduces the snag potential that may come with standard laces.

Kinda bad for daily wear...
I ride clipless pedals; I don't ride with this shoes, so I bought it as my everyday shoes. It is not comfortable, as Keith mentioned, it rubbed the back of your foot and up (around tendons). I found that this feeling might go away if I tight both straps in a loose way. This is not the main issue that made me walk uncomfortable, it is the areas around your joints. I used to have the crankbrother flat pedal shoes, and that shoes was way more comfortable than this unfortunately...

They Rub Your Achilles Tendon
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was excited to try a brand other then 5Ten on my flats. These looked cool and I like the way they tension vs laces. I put them on and went for a ride and they rub my achilles tendon like crazy. I literally can't wear them and they sit in the corner.
