A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to fly out to Portland, Oregon to attend an insights meeting with Merrell Footwear. Merrell has organized a meeting like this each year for the past 3 years, and they basically invite a collection of individuals throughout the running footwear world to solicit feedback on trends, marketing […]

Is The Minimalist Trend Over? – Comments on Injury Risk and Sales Data
June 24, 2013 By 25 Comments
One of the comments I’ve seen a lot lately is that the minimalist running trend is over. A number of reasons are given to support this statement, and I thought I’d take a deeper look at two of the big ones. Injury Risk in Minimal Shoes The first reason I typically see put forth as […]
Dirty Runner: La Sportiva Helios Trail Shoe Review
June 12, 2013 By 6 Comments
I must confess that I have never run in La Sportiva shoes before this pair of Helios arrived at my door. Although the Vertical K interested me, I read that the toe-box was quite narrow. Since I have always enjoyed shoes with large toe-boxes, I just never gave them a chance. When the Helios was […]

Merrell Ascend Glove Review on the Runblogger Forum
May 29, 2013 By Leave a Comment
One of the shoes I’ve been eagerly anticipating getting ahold of is the Merrell Ascend Glove. The Ascend Glove appears to be something like a trail version of the Bare Access, featuring a luggy, protective sole and 10.5mm of zero drop cushion. A contributor on the Runblogger Forum, Vitarunner, just posted a pretty comprehesive review […]
Vermont City Marathon 2013 Race Report: Executing the Plan, and A Big Thank You to Mother Nature
May 28, 2013 By 31 Comments
Over the past several months I’ve documented my training in preparation for the Vermont City Marathon (VCM), which I ran last Sunday morning. Like any marathon training cycle there were a lot of ups and downs, and a number of memorable runs (some good, some bad). The story of this marathon training cycle for me […]
Nike Free 3.0 v5 Review: Redemption For One Of My Favorite Shoe Lineages!
May 23, 2013 By 46 Comments
Update 3/14/2014: Nike has just announced the release of the Nike Free 3.0 v6. For details, visit this post. After a phenomenal debut, the Nike Free 3.0 line entered a steady downward spiral, culminating in one of the worst shoes I have worn since I started reviewing running shoes back in 2009. The Free 3.0 […]
Merrell Proterra Sport Review: A Nice Hiking Shoe That Needs a Bit More Flex
May 18, 2013 By 10 Comments
There was a time when I used to hike a lot. I spent a summer working in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and got to the point where I could almost run up mountains with a frame pack filled with wooden boards on my back (I worked on a salamander survey crew and we used […]
Asics Gel Lyte33 v2 Running Shoe Review
April 10, 2013 By 37 Comments
It’s been a long time since I’ve worn an Asics shoe. Back when I first started running I had a pair of the 2100 series that I liked, but since moving to more minimal footwear Asics has simply not had a lot to offer a runner with my preferences aside from a few racing flats […]
Newton Energy: New Running Shoe Coming this Summer
April 5, 2013 By 5 Comments
Newton Running is not a company that tends to release new shoe models very often. They have a pretty small lineup of shoes that occasionally see minor tweaks and updates, and I view this as a good thing. If a shoe works, don’t make major changes! I also see too many companies focusing their energies […]
Nike Free 3.0 v5 Preview: The Awful Upper is Gone!
March 22, 2013 By 9 Comments
The Running Warehouse blog just put up a post introducing the Nike Free 3.0 v5. As I’ve written on this blog many times, the Free 3.0 is a shoe with special meaning to me since version 1 of the model was my first “minimalist” running shoe. It led me on the path to where I […]
New Balance 890 v3: Guest Review by Ron Abramson
March 18, 2013 By 7 Comments
In the realm of romantic relationships, monogamy is a virtue. When I sought to apply that virtue to running shoes, though, I quickly found myself feeling oppressed, limited and pining for the sexy contours and promising performance features of shoes made by my “main squeeze’s” competitors. After deciding to see other people [okay, this metaphor […]
Mizuno Wave Ekiden Racing Flat Review by Coach Caleb
March 12, 2013 By 19 Comments
After becoming very popular in the Japanese market, Mizuno has introduced the Wave Ekiden, a neutral racing flat, to the US. The name of the shoe is a reference to competitive relay racing in Japan, which is as much (or more) a part of the athletic zeitgeist there as collegiate cross country and track & […]
Dirty Runner: A 37 Mile Run Through the Desert
February 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment
On January 23, in the midst of another cold weather patch, I posted the following on Facebook. “I’ve never minded winter before, but I have found myself today fantasizing about running all day in the warm woods. I have a lot of airplane miles, where should I go?” A lot of great suggestions came in […]
New Balance MT110WR Winter Running Shoe Review
February 19, 2013 By 6 Comments
The New Balance MT110 is a trail shoe that held lot of initial promise for me, but was done in by a sole that was overly built up under the lateral forefoot. This caused my feet to tilt inward simply standing in the shoes, and led to a bout of posterior tibial tendonitis after a […]
