Pearl Izumi E:Motion Road N1 Neutral Race gear reviews

These shoes are not yet available, but I got to 'borrow' a pair from Mike Sandrock himself. When I explained that I wasn't quite sold on the N2 shoes (nice shoes, but just not MY type of shoe), Mike asked me if I'd like to try on a pair of N1s; I said "sure, but you don't have any". He said he did have a pair-as long as I didn't mind wearing 'used' shoes. With that said, he literally gave me the shoes from his feet. I rarely LOVE a pair of shoes, but I LOVE these. They're light, flexible, good-looking...yeah, yeah. But they have a certain 'sweet spot' in the middle of your foot that really makes this shoe special. When your stride gets to that certain place, these shoes just come alive. You find yourself WANTING to push a tiny bit harder/longer to keep yourself in that sweet spot for as long as you can. Completely seamless, roomy toebox, very comfortable. THESE are my next shoes.
