You'll forget you have shoes on.

The latest version of Pearl Izumi's top-end cycling shoes, the PRO Leader III, somehow manages to be cleaner and sleeker than previous versions. If we ignored the BOA closure system, we might think it was a running spike, but as it is, the PRO Leader III shoes are an extraordinarily light race shoe that only seems to improve over time. By teaming with Pearl for this custom, vibrantly blue colorway, we've given the Pro Leader III's sleek silhouette an appropriately clean hue to further highlight Pearl's modern styling.


This year's version is constructed with the same Second Skin Upper as we've seen before in the line, which uses no traditional stitching or seaming throughout the shoe. Pearl Izumi borrowed this construction from the world of running shoes, using welded seams to create a contoured, wrap-like fit without the risk of pressure points and hot spots during long rides. If you've ever developed blisters or had to stop and adjust your shoes, you'll be happy to know that this 0.9mm upper is just about as thin and unobtrusive as any you'll find in the cycling industry. The PRO Leader IIIs also allow for customization in the insole, with independent left and right arches built into the design and multiple canting height options in the forefoot.


A simple, clean twin BOA dial system is responsible for pulling both sides of the upper across your foot, and the dials themselves allow for such extensive micro-adjusting that Pearl Izumi decided to eliminate the hook-and-loop strap that added security to the forefoot on previous versions. This gives you a lighter, less bulky shoe that doesn't sacrifice fit. Pearl also reworked the carbon sole for this year to improve responsiveness by incorporating its 1:1 Integrated Power Plate for more efficient power transfer. Made with stiff, lightweight unidirectional carbon, the plate also reduces the stack height of the shoe compared to last year's version, with a minimal overall stack height of just 5mm, further reducing the material between your watts and the pedal.
