I purchased these cycling shoes based on a recommendation from a friend and couldn’t be happier with them. They are comfortable, stable, breathe well, and provide the added pull I needed for climbing the hills of the Ozarks! I highly recommend them to anyone who bikes between 50 -100 miles a week.

I’ve been using Specialized Mountain Bike shoes with SPD pedals on my road bike for 6 years. I finally decided it was time to get a more appropriate road cycling shoe and I chose the Shimano SH-R086L along with the Shimano 105 PD-5700 pedals Shimano PD-5700 105 Road Bike Pedals, Silver
I’m a size 13 and the size I ordered was not 46 as suggested by the Amazon sizing chart, but 48 as suggested by the Shimano website. I’d suggest you double-check your size with Shimano instead of using the Amazon sizing guide. The Amazon sizing guide is way off compared to the Shimano guide.
The shoe is fairly light, not overly stiff. You can use both SPD and SPD-SL pedals and cleats with the shoe. The ratcheting buckle works nicely and feels secure. The quick release also works well. I have no issues with the shoes other than they seem a little cheesy as concerns the look and feel of the shoe. I feel they are an OK introduction to a road cycling shoe. More experienced competitive riders will desire a stiffer more rigid shoe. Something along the lines of the Shimano SH-R190 Shimano SH-R190 Shoe – Men’s would be a good starting point for that type or cyclist.
Although the shoes seem a little cheesy to me as far as uppers material quality, look and feel, they will probably suffice for most sport riders but the shoe is not appropriate for more competitive racers who would need a stiffer, shoe made of higher quality materials. If you can get these on sale, they would be a better value.

Probably the best price I’ve ever paid for a pair of road shoes, esp. ones with a carbon sole. Ridden about 500km on them now, and done five or six Category 3 races. Feel stiff, fairly comfy and best of all very light. Buckles work well, straps too. I have narrow feet and find them a bit wide in the front, but with an extra insole no problem. Was a bit worried about leaving my standby top-of-the-line Sidis, but considering these Pearls were 1/3 the price…will just have to see how well-ventilated they are this summer (been riding in booties still) and how durable.

I returned them because they hurt my toes…so I think they are a little on the small size.

Nice average shoes, Shimano, Specialized and the new Bontrager higher ends of these are all MUCH better. Lighter, higher quality, these are nothing special, run small.
