Review - Pearl Izumi Iso Transition

DateThursday, November 10, 2011 at 6:28PM

Below is a guest post by ZenTri friend and Coach Matthew Bates.  Thanks, Matty B!

 

The Iso Transition is Pearl Izumi’s first real foray into triathlon specific shoes.  Right off, it is loaded with features to make life easier and to help you race faster. Pearl Izumi enlisted two-time Ironman Tim DeBoom to help design the shoes and his ideas created an absolute rocket. 

The three most notable features for me while racing in them were the comfort of the seamless upper, the built-in speed laces, and the drains built into the midsole. All three of these play together well and bear the marks of a shoe designed by someone who has raced extensively. The shoes are also incredibly light, weighing a scant 221g for a size 9. The sacrifices in weight also come with a lack of stability, so this is not a shoe for everyone.  Without any spec’s listed, they seem to have about a 10mm drop from heel to toe.

Overall, if you want a fast, light shoe built specifically for triathlon and are looking for that next PR, then this shoe could be your ticket.
