Women's Pearl Izumi Peak II

I LOVE this shoe! I am an obstacle runner and this shoe is awesome! The only thing that didn't ache after my last 9.5 mile race was my feet. They are durable, clean off extremely well and have made it through 3 major obstacle races with me. BTW, I always get the "great looking shoe" comment as well. I will buy these again, without question.

Right out of the box this shoe felt fantastic, with a cushy heel and a semi-firm forefoot. When I say this shoe has the fit of a racing flat, I’m referring to how it hugs the foot and feels like a natural extension of the foot. The fit was perfect with a snug heel and ample room in the toebox for my average sized forefoot.

All new (and improved) outer sole; lower, narrower profile; (much) tougher upper; some cool CO-specific design touches; new metatarsal plate; and all-around sexy lookin’ shoe. I think the goal is to come in under 9oz too, but don’t quote me on that.

I love these shoes but they started developing holes in the mesh top with less than 100 miles on them. With that said, I wish they were more durable. My road shoes (Glycerin 8) have more than 500 miles on them and still have miles left on them. The Peak XC shoes are lightweight, fast and comfortable but that durability issue is a killer

I just received these shoes, they look fantastic; however, they run at least one size too small. Even being a bit tight I can tell that they are very comfortable for walking, not so sure about running. I am ordering a bigger size.

I love these shoes! I'm an avid trail runner and hiker and have tried many trail running shoes and I highly recommend them!
