Women's Pearl Izumi Syncrofloat IV

Great shoes!! Previous reviews were exact. I took the advice to buy a half a size larger and they fit just right. Runningshoes.com was also amazing in their delivery process

I use these shoes for everything from lifting to running and x-biking. They are so well cushioned that I would buy them again; in fact, this is my third pair! Others must agree because when a new Pearl Izumi comes out, I have to act quickly as my size always sells out in no time. I often hear the comment, "Those are good looking shoes. What kind are they?" I then proceed to tell them how happy I am with the Pearl Izumi brand.

Pearl Izumi makes some really good running shoes. THat said, these shoes are not the really good ones they make. I think the lower price reflects this. The shoes are really inflexible and hard, with no good energy return. WHile my other PI's were very heavy they had just enough flex to them and excelllent energy return, at times when I was tired I felt like the shoes might be running themselves. I ran a few miles in these and was sorely disappointed. I then used the shoes for work for a while, but the heel tab is pretty high on them and it irritated my achilles. I'm totally a fan of Pearl Izumi, just not a fan of these shoes. I would really recommend either saving money for a better pair of PI runners, or trying to find something on sale. I was very excited to save money, but...in the end I had to buy a new pair of shoes.....so, didn't save any money at all..... On the plus side, they are very attractive and I did get a lot of shoe compliments when I did wear them for work (I work where one can normally wear such shoes.)

This is my 7th pair of SyncroFloats, but the first time I've purchased the IV. They seem to run smaller than earlier versions of the shoe, so I wish I would've known to order a half size larger. The greatest thing about these shoes is the seamless upper. When I pair these shoes with Wright double layer running socks, I never get blisters.

Absolutely love this shoe. It's light weight, fills in my high arch and I have no knee or foot pain now!! I've got happy feet!

This runs the same size as my previous Pearls. They were the same model name. They have great cushion and pronation contro
