I’m part of a pretty active group on Facebook that is aptly titled “Running Shoe Geeks.” The group is diverse in that we have minimalist aficionados, folks who prefer more traditional shoes, industry insiders, regular runners, and a smattering of scientists and therapists.

Last year around this time I put up a post containing a collection of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale links.

Saucony Kinvara 4 – A Disappointing Update
November 3, 2013 By 50 Comments
It pains me to write what I’m about to write, but sometimes you have to be honest and tell a good friend that they are headed in the wrong direction. So, Mr. Kinvara, I apologize for being critical. I know we’ve been through a lot together, but we need some time apart until you get […]

September 16, 2013 By 30 Comments
Next to running shoes, running tech gadgets are probably my biggest weakness, and lately I’ve found myself drooling over some of the running tech that is coming down the pipe.

Natural Running: What The Heck Does it Mean?
June 13, 2013 By 83 Comments
The phrase “natural running” gets thrown around a lot these days. For example, there’s the Natural Running Center, there are natural running stores, Newton’s Danny Abshire wrote a book called “Natural Running,” and Saucony uses Natural Running as a category for shoes on the more minimal end of its range. But, what exactly does the […]

Merrell Proterra Sport Review: A Nice Hiking Shoe That Needs a Bit More Flex
May 18, 2013 By 10 Comments

January 16, 2013 By 17 Comments

October 26, 2012 By 46 Comments
