Details

This mid-top flat pedal shoe is constructed on the same platform as the Launch Flat, with added ankle and heel protection and a gusseted tongue to keep out dirt and debris. Because trail conditions can be highly variable, the Launch Mid WRX uses a water-repellent membrane to keep the elements at bay. Laces can be a hassle when covered in mud and grime so the Launch Mid WRX relies on a BOA® Fit System to make fit adjustments a breeze. PEARL IZUMI partnered with the rubber experts at Goodyear® to develop a tread compound that's both sticky and long-wearing for PinLoc Outsole, which is wider for more surface contact and uses a chevron tread design to capture pedal pins, keeping your feet planted and in control.
