Inspired by its pricier siblings further up Pearl’s tri shoe ladder, the Tri Fly Select V6’s accessible price point is kinder to newer triathletes who have a long, expensive list of gear to gather up before they see an age group podium. Though it isn’t pro-level, the shoe still comes with a carbon-reinforced nylon sole, seamless, quick-drying uppers, and a comfortable two-strap wrap closure that pulls those pliable uppers close around your foot. Pearl specifically positioned the straps away from pressure points that could impede circulation so that numbness and hot spots don’t interrupt your bike leg or your triumphant, slightly wobbly jog into T2.
