When we watch our professional idols dance up mountainsides and float to the front of the peloton, their speed seems effortless. Sure, we often see their grimaces, but they're nothing compared to the ones carved into our own faces as we grind our way through local hill climbs and road races. No ride will ever be effortless, but Pearl Izumi's Pro Leader III Men's Cycling Shoe aims to take away a bit of the struggle. Occupying the top echelon in the brand's line, the Pro Leader III conspires to disappear on your foot as soon as you put it on. A lithe, dual-Boa upper molds around the top of your foot for a fit free of hot spots and pressure points, while adjustable arch support prevents fatigue and improves efficiency on longer rides. Of course, no top-tier shoe would be complete without a power-transferring carbon sole to help ferry you to the front of the pack, which the Pro Leader III delivers. Its stiff, lightweight carbon fiber plate integrates smoothly with the rest of the shoe to save bulk and grams anywhere possible.
