|   Pearl Izumi Vagabond/Vortex/Vaper...same fit? | entropy kid
May 22, 2003 6:17 AM | | I'm looking for a new pair of bike shoes and as always i'm having a decidedly hard time finding a pair that fits. My LSB had a pair of PI's Vaper in my size and it fits perfectly. Obviously, 190$ is not a sum that i would pay for a pair of shoes so i'd like to know whether the cheaper models of PI have the same fit (Vortex and Vagabond) so i could save some money.
Thanks |

if body geometry fits you well you might get a better deal with specialized but you probably tried those already |
