feedback for Pearl Izumi Streak Men's Shoes TrueRed/Vapor:

Comments: I just completed my first 8mi tempo run in the Streaks. I'll start out by saying that I've gone through 2 pairs of Asics Gel Speedstar 3's and decided to try something new for fun. The Speedstar is a great daily shoe and I get close to 400miles out them, but I'm getting tired of yellow! I'm 6'1, 165lbs, 50+mpw. I'm always on the lookout out for a minimal neutral lightweight everyday trainer. I've seen this shoe listed as a racing flat in other forums, but that's slightly deceiving. It has a low profile forefoot, but a much higher beefier heel than a true racing flat (I race in hyperspeeds). The forefoot is super flexible and creates a nice forward striking motion. The shoe is very comfortable with the seamless upper. The heel provides a nice crash pad, but I would have to disagree and say that the forefoot is pretty firm on the cushioning side. We'll see how it feels after a 15-20 miler. The size ran true, similar to Asics. I wear a size 10, but I did use a very thin sock for today's run. I'm sure the mesh upper will stretch quite a bit. The only small annoyance I find is the really long laces, double tied and tucked down the front, and there still really long. Luckily this can be fixed, but what a pet peeve.

Comments:Great shoe! Amazing amount of padding given the weight of the shoe. I train and race in these shoes and will order another pair once this one is worn out.

Comments: I have worn out my first pair and I am going after another pair - very satisfied with the shoes. I did order them 1/2 size larger than normal. This was the first pair of shoes I've had with a good forefoot pad and it really felt nice. I do most of my running the on treadmill and streets at between 6 and 10 miles per run.

Comments: Just recieved these today and need to take them for a spin. Form fitting light shoe very light nice ride great for road running 5 to 10k I think any more and your feet would start to complain. Not that great for gravel, but they did so well on the road I have to say 8.5 out of 10. Want to see how my back feels in the morning since they were not the cush ride like my Nimbus 10's

Comments: Very lightweight, pretty good heel cushioning. Low profile feel in the forefoot. Smooth heel-to-toe transition. Heel is somewhat wide, and doesn't hug the heel very well. Overall I rate the shoe 7 out of 10. I just ran a 21 miles in them, and they felt good. They are suitable for an everyday trainer. The Brooks Burn is my favorite running shoe, which offers more cushioning.

Comments: In summary: Amazing design... with Great Customer Service!!! Out of box review: Definitely get the 1/2 size larger than you would normally. They fit small, similar to ASICS running shoes with a pretty narrow toe box... couldn't be happier with out of box comfort -no slippage /rubbing observed while walking/ jogging/ running. Haven't been on an extended run other than a sprint through the neighborhood... feels like running barefoot, except with good padding. Will report back soon regarding feedback after longer 5-7 mi run.
