Men's Pearl Izumi Peak II

I purchased a size 10.5 and I normally get a 1/2 size bigger for comfort. Be advised these shoes run small.

My first trail shoe. Fits like a glove. Minimalistic, yet very comfortable, even on the road. Can easily go into long runs 16-20 miles on these. This is my second pair of Pear Izumi's. Loving the quality and my running performance is improving significantly

The minimalist type shoe most certainly has its place so...PI keep up the good work. The Peak is my favorite trail shoe; however, I do prefer the last that was used on earlier versions of the Peak. The forefoot is a little narrow but the mesh upper takes shape pretty quick. Overall, this is still my favorite shoe out there.

I bought these to replace my PI Peak XC's, hoping they would have the same feel. They don't, I didn't care for the feel of the midsole section of the shoe and it was a 1/2 size to small. Which I already order 1/2 size up due to experiences with other Pearl Izumi shoes (Peak XC, Streak, and the Streak 2).

I ordered the size I usually wear in Pearl Izumi, half size larger than shoe size, and they were too short. Returned them and ordered a half size larger than that. Still too short.

love my Pearl Izumi Peak II.... lightweight and super comforable. It doesn't matter if your running on the Appalachian Trail or some back country road the Pearl's can handle it. Even the Pinhoti 100 mile endurance run proved not to be a challenge for the Pearl's. The only draw back is the uppers tear easily when running on rough trails. A great shoe that I highly recommend...!!!

I bought these shoes a few months ago specifically for the Captain Thurmond's Challenge August 20th 2011 at the New River Gorge in Fayetteville WV. This race consists of Mountain bike, kayak, and then a punishing 8 miles of trail running and steep hiking! I appreciated that the soles are narrow, which made it easier to place footsteps avoiding rocks and roots. They never threw my ankles sideways in the least and it really felt like these shoes were in their element on the trail. No discomfort even when I did step on something jagged. I'm pleased. Sizing: I normally wear a tight 10.5, these are a tight 11.5, order a full size up from normal.

In the end, the Pearl Izumi Peak 2 is an excellent trail shoe and a great option for those looking for a sub-10 ounce shoe that will still protect your foot from the virtual cornucopia of sharp nasty rocks typical of Las Vegas trails

I had to look inside and double-check the size. The shoe feels way smaller than the marked size, even though I thought I was ordering it big. It is shorter and narrower than expected. Also, the width spanned by the laces is unusually wide, leaving one of the lacing eyelets directly and painfully over for the first big-toe joint. Think about that if you have wide, bony feet. Out of the box, these shoes hurt.

Have only used on a treadmill so far. The shoes are so light you forget you are wearing them. Good cushion on the feet to this point. Very comfortable and snug fit for running. Used on speeds from warm up jog to all out sprint, on flat ground and up to 12% incline. Love these shoes. My first Pearl Izumi running shoe. PI has done it again, and made me a believe

This is a great light weight shoe for training on the trails or pavement . I've got about 250 miles on mine and loving them!
