Maximum cush meets mid-level stability in the Pearl Izumi Women's EM Road M3 V2 Running Shoe. Pearl Izumi tuned the shoe's dynamic offset E:Motion midsole for mid-foot pronation and a heel-to-toe transition. Energy Foam cushions the forefoot and heel upon impact and returns energy at each step-off. Pearl Izumi also added a high-density medial post for increased stability and pronation control, and the blown rubber sole uses carbon rubber in high-impact areas for enhanced durability and abrasion-resistance. The seamless upper provides smooth comfort and a surprising amount of support.
