Pearl Izumi - Take Plus (Shadow/Diablo Red) - Men's: The Take is for the trail runner without any major biomechanical issues. The Take is a great, no gimmicks, neutral cushioning shoe with a tech upper and an aggressive outsole designed specifically for offroad use. Seamless airmesh lining and near seamless welded upper results in a no-pressure point fit and comfort. Gusseted tongue keeps the tongue centered, provides even pressure on top of the foot while keeping out dirt, dust and debris. Welded Kevlar overlays in toe and heel provide abrasion resistance. 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. Over the top tongue construction removes all seams and bulk from sensitive flex zones in the shoe. 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. Isolated heel strike zone slows the rate of pronation while the firmer density EVA on the medial supports the foot as it transitions to toe off. Forefoot flex grooves are positioned to optimize flexibility, cushioning and an efficient toe-off. Updated, aggressive, directional, mud shedding, outsole tread pattern provides improved traction and cushioning. Aggressive pi carbon rubber perimeter for bite and softer Shed Tread core for better traction on a variety of surfaces. 360 degrees of reflectivity.
