The new trend in running shoes is maximalism: beefed up shoes with lots of cushion. Maximalism was triggered by the growing popularity of shoes made by the brand Hoka One One. Hoka started as a niche brand within the trail ultrarunning community, and has expanded its line to include road shoes as well. I’ve posted […]

Saucony Kinvara 5 Preview
December 3, 2013 By 47 Comments
Update: This shoe is now available and I have posted a Saucony Kinvara 5 review here. Earlier today Saucony posted a preview of the Kinvara 5 on their blog (thanks to Marc S. for the alert!). I was disappointed by the Kinvara 4, with my main issues being the tight forefoot fit and lack of […]
Best Low-Drop Ultramarathon Shoes: Recommendations From Nate Sanel
July 3, 2013 By 20 Comments
My perfect trail shoe would be one with a minimal upper that fits like a glove over the forefoot, a wide toe box, excellent drainage, great grip, a soft ride, 0-4mm heel/forefoot differential, and enough cushioning to run 100 miles. When talking about shoes for an ultra, I think that it’s important to distinguish what […]
2013 Running Shoe Sales Data: What Do They Tell Us About What Runners Are Wearing?
May 19, 2013 By 19 Comments
The Dollar Sign (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Last week Scott Douglas published an article on Runnersworld.com with the title “Sales of Minimalist Shoes Plummet.” I’ve seen this article referenced a number of places over the past week, and I wanted to add a few comments. The data that Douglas referenced come from a SportsOneSource 1st Quarter […]
Dirty Runner: Montrail FluidFlex Trail Shoe Review
April 29, 2013 By 19 Comments
If you’ve read any of my past reviews you know that I have a certain ideal shoe that I’m searching for. My perfect trail shoe would be one with a minimal upper that fits like a glove over the forefoot, a wide toe box, excellent drainage, great grip, soft ride, 0-4mm heel/forefoot differential, and enough […]
My Problem With the adidas Boost Marketing Approach
February 14, 2013 By 59 Comments
Time for a bit of a rant, hold on tight. My Wednesday mornings are typically reserved for Daddy-dates with my 2-year-old son. Sometimes we hang out and play trucks, sometimes we go out on an adventure. Today we decided to hit what he likes to call “the gym” (it’s a gymnastics training center that doubles […]
Puma Mobium: A Running Shoe That Expands Underfoot
February 7, 2013 By 50 Comments
A Facebook friend (thanks Joel!) just sent me a link to a really well-designed website for a new shoe that was just released by Puma. The shoe is called the Puma Mobium, and it has a sole that can apparently spread out to increase width on contact. Interesting concept – I’ve never tried a Puma […]
Saucony Virrata Review and Comparison to the Saucony Kinvara 3: Guest Post by Alex Raggers
January 23, 2013 By 38 Comments
A few weeks ago I received a message from one of my many footwear spies across the globe. Alex Raggers is a runner from the Netherlands, and to his surprise he recently walked into his local running store to find that they had the new (and much anticipated) Saucony Virrata in stock. Given that I’m […]
Top 3 Most Disappointing Running Shoes of 2012
December 21, 2012 By 43 Comments
As the year comes to a close, it’s time once again for me to reflect back on the multitude of shoes that I’ve run in over the past 12 months. There are plenty of standouts (I’m going to break my “best of” lists into three categories this year, may have one ready later today), but […]
The Future of Minimalist Running Shoes and the Value of Variety
December 17, 2012 By 45 Comments
This morning I opened my email to find an alert that the newest edition of SGB Weekly magazine had come out and that it would be featuring a few articles by Thomas Ryan on trends in the running market as gleaned from interviews and discussions at The Running Event. The Running Event is the major […]
Shoes Matter: Running Shoes Can Contribute to Injury
October 23, 2012 By 29 Comments
Damn you injuries! (Photo credit: aaipodpics) I’ve been part of an interesting email thread over the past few days. I’m not going to discuss any specifics, but the gist of the discussion has revolved around the question of whether shoes can cause running injuries. The refrain lately in the running community has been that “form […]
New Balance MT20v2 Review: Solid Shoe, But Questionable Upper Durability
October 7, 2012 By 28 Comments
The New Balance Minimus MT20v2 is the sequel to the “mass market” version of the New Balance Minimus Trail MT10. I’ve never quite understood the rationale for why New Balance makes both the MT10 and MT20 since they are basically the same shoe with slightly different designs, but I guess they have their reasons. I’ve […]
My Miracle Weight Loss Program – Body by Writing!
September 6, 2012 By 11 Comments
As a health and fitness blogger, I feel as though I should by now have at least one post discussing a surefire way to lose weight – after all, nothing drives traffic quite like the prospect of a trim figure! As such, I thought I’d share my miracle weight loss program with you in hope […]
5 Running Form DOs and DON’Ts from Dr. Daniel Lieberman
August 6, 2012 By 18 Comments
Came across a tweet this morning from my buddy Tuck of the Yelling Stop blog. His link was to a nice video from Dr. Daniel Lieberman discussing 5 DOs and DON’Ts of running form. I agree with almost all of them, particularly points 1 and 5. As far as footstrike goes, I tend to view […]

A bit over a week ago adidas introduced their new Boost midsole technology. Based on mechanical testing, Boost is touted as providing the best energy return of any cushioning material currently incorporated into a running shoe. This finding was confirmed by Runner’s World Magazine, who put the shoe to the test in their shoe lab […]
