Recently, many top level triathletes have opted for traditional road shoes, choosing to compromise transition time for better on-course fit and feel. Pearl Izumi set out to create the ultimate triathlon shoe by combining the performance of a traditional road shoe with the barefoot comfort and quick-entry of a purpose-built tri shoe. The result is the Pearl Izumi Tri Fly PRO Triathlon Cycling Shoe, a premium podium-focused shoe designed for speed, comfort, and efficiency to make the most of race day. The upper of the Pearl Izumi Tri Fly Pro is constructed from a combination of airy mesh and synthetic leather to maximize ventilation and support. We built this shoe on the same feather-light, ultra-stiff carbon sole as our flagship PRO Air road shoe, which also features ample sole venting for quick drying. The BOA® Fit System allows for precise two-way micro-adjustments while riding, eliminates hot spots, and creates a wide entry for rapid transitions.
