Pearl Izumi X-Alp Launch

Mountain bikers who ride flat pedals deserve shoes with as much advanced technology as those who ride clipless, which is why we developed this flat pedal shoe with a BOA Fit System to provide unrivaled fit and comfort. The redesigned Launch Flat builds on everything we love about riding flat pedals: freedom of movement, versatility, walkability; and it kicks all the downsides to the curb. The Launch uses a lightweight, quick-drying upper, constructed from durable Cordura fabric made with recycled content. We partnered with the rubber experts at Goodyear to develop a tread compound that's both sticky and long-wearing for our PinLoc Outsole. The result is a sole that is wider for more surface contact and uses a chevron tread design to capture pedal pins, keeping your feet planted and in control.
