It’s always fun to try out new running shoes, especially from a brand you haven’t experienced before, so I was eager to go for some runs in a brand new pair of Pearl iZumi Road N2s. I’ve got a pair of Pearl iZumi trail shoes that I bought almost 10 years ago, but I had never tried out their road shoes until now. My first impression within a few strides was “Wow, these soles are…
