Pearl Izumi - Element (White/Tarmac) - Men's: The shoe of choice for the bigger runner or heavy pronator that still wants to look and feel light and fast. This shoe provides motion control from heel strike to toe off without the usual blockades that most companies use to control pronation. Structurally sound without sacrificing ride and flex. Virtually seamless upper provides superior comfort by removing all points of irritation. Over the top tongue construction removes all seams and bulk from sensitive flex zones in the shoe. Endo-skeletal Support System holds the foot securely by wrapping the midfoot in non-stretch materials that are bonded to the midsole and secured at the lace, providing a free-floating, self-adjusting custom fit. IQ: Pearl Izumi Impact Quotient technology cushions and guides the foot through the footstrike motion efficiently. Heel and forefoot IQ shock absorbers for cushioning in high impact zones. Deep rearfoot outsole/midsole channel creates an isolated heel strike zone to slow and control the rate of pronation. Midsole Guidance System flex grooves further enhance the crashpad compression cushioning, performance. The Articulated Cross Deck is a multi-density EVA medial posting system. By using multiple densities of EVA, Pearl Izumi programs a natural pronation progression from the transition to the medial side, through toe off. Forefoot flex grooves are positioned to optimize flexibility, cushioning and an efficient toe-off. 360 degrees of reflectivity.
