Pearl Izumi Syncropace III

	Skydex foam cushioning

	Lack of responsiveness

A new lower-profile stability frame helps the Syncropace feel fast without losing support. Skydex foam in the forefoot adds long-lasting cushioning. The outsole and insole are also used to bolster support.

Our lab tests show that the Syncropace is well cushioned and flexible, but lacks responsiveness. However, the lower profile of the shoe means that our testers found it light and fast-feeling and, with its light and open upper. Our wear-testers say:

"The forefoot is very flexible and comfortable. The shoe is light but supportive. Slightly low arch support but it will take an orthotic if you need one." - Andy Murray
