Product Description

The Pearl Izumi Women's Syncro Float 2 Running Shoes are ideal for runners who like to run about three miles in the morning and then get on with their day. Pearl Izumi made these lightweight running shoes for neutral runners who barely pronate. A seamless race slipper feels super smooth against your foot and decreases your chance of blisters. The Float 2 Running Shoes have forefoot flex grooves that allow you to transition throughout your stride smoothly. The carbon rubber outsole grabs onto surfaces easily, even if you encounter some slippery mud. Pearl Izumi outfitted these running shoes with 360-degree reflectivity to ensure others can see you when the light is low.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really for running, January 31, 2010

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.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Are these tap dance shoes ?, February 26, 2009

By	SIG (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

Great vendor, got the product quickly. But disappointing product.

I tried these to give me more cross training stability. Yes, I'd tried on the Peal IZumi Syncrofloat II shoes at the store. I thought I liked them. After trying them out for 2 weeks in the gym, they haven't "broken in" and still feel hard and stiff. For a similar price, I want to return to my Mizuno Alchemy's.

The sole feels too hard. Probably better for tap dance or cockroach killing than for running. Not enough cushion or support.

Aesthetically they don't look very high quality somehow. Sure, my green and grey shoes are distinctive, but the grey rubbery-plastic stylistic "patches" look like they're stuck on there with a glue gun. The green mesh fabric look better from further away than close up.

I'm going back to Mizuno. Mainly so my feet land on something softer and more flexible.

On the upside the laces feel good and more secure than Mizunos. The tongue is also more cushioned, so if your foot feels raw on the TOP, these may be a good choice. They also do have all around stability.
