I was doing a bit of poking around as I tend to do from time to time and came across a German website which had photos of a shoe called the Mizuno Be – appears to be a new minimalist spectrum “training” shoe from Mizuno. Here are the photos that were posted on Laufschuhkauf.de: Since […]

Saucony Cortana Running Shoe Review
December 22, 2011 By 19 Comments
Saucony has done an excellent job diversifying their shoe offerings over the past year, filling out both the zero drop and 4mm drop niches. I’ve previously reviewed the Hattori, Kinvara, Mirage, Fastwitch 5, and Peregrine – that leaves the Saucony Cortana as the lone shoe among Saucony’s mainstream, low-drop running offerings that I have yet […]
Running Sock Reviews: injinji, Swiftwick, and Wrightsock
October 26, 2011 By 16 Comments
In a perfect world I wouldn’t wear socks when I run. When at all possible, I do prefer to go sockless, but shoes that allow me to do this without developing blisters are few and far between. What’s more, winter is around the corner, and socks become something of a necessity to help break the […]
Saucony to Abandon the 12mm Lift Model: Big Move From one of the Big Players in the Running Shoe World
October 22, 2011 By 33 Comments
Last Wednesday I was invited along with several other bloggers to participate in a conference call with representatives from Saucony. The group we spoke with included: Pat O’Malley, Head of Footwear Spencer White, Head of our Biomechanics Lab Chris Mahoney, Senior Designer Sean Robbins, Digital Marketing Manager I’d spoken to Sean before, and have interacted […]
On Human Variability, Running Shoes, and Running Form: The Importance of an Individualized Approach
October 15, 2011 By 23 Comments
I open this post with an illustration of the Galapagos Finches and their variable beak anatomy (illustration by John Gould) – my reason is to emphasize a point. As an evolutionary biologist, I’ve spent much of my life studying anatomical variation, and I think it’s sometimes easy to forget that we humans are animals just […]
Insertional Achilles Tendon Pain, Retrocalcaneal Bursitis, and Haglund’s Deformity: A Runner Looking for Advice
September 3, 2011 By 69 Comments
Image via Wikipedia From time to time I get emails from readers with various types of running injuries. Given that I am not a medical doctor, I generally don’t feel comfortable doing much more than discussing the anatomy and sharing some houghts, and usually my advice is to seek professional help if an injury is […]
Home Cobbling: Cutting the Heel off the Mizuno Ronin 2
August 17, 2011 By 31 Comments
Of all of the 40+ shoes I have run in over the past 2+ years, the Mizuno Ronin 2 ranks right near the top in terms of comfort (along with the New Balance MT101 and a few others). The Ronin 2 is very roomy, and the forefoot is both wide and high volume (sadly, Mizuno […]
Chinese Foot Binding: Interesting Stories from NPR
July 20, 2011 By 9 Comments
Image via Wikipedia I’m often amazed by the degree to which we humans will put fashion before function when it comes to both our feet and our footwear. A few days ago my friend Mark Cucuzzella forwarded me a link to an NPR article about the film adaptation of the book “Snow Flower and the […]
New Balance introduces their Zero Drop Minimus Lineup for 2012
July 4, 2011 By 44 Comments
Update 7/11/2011: New Balance contacted me and asked me to take down the photographs that I had posted – apparently somebody in the company jumped the gun by releasing the video early (they asked Frunning to remove the video as well). Should have more info in August – stay tuned! A twitter friend (thanks @glin23!) […]
Newton Distance Racer Review: Sir Isaac Gets it Right
June 22, 2011 By 36 Comments
Let me state openly at the outset of this review that my first experience with a pair of Newton running shoes was not a good one. In winter 2009 I received a pair of Newton Sir Isaac’s – I think this was the first pair of review shoes that I’d ever received – and I […]
Runner’s World on Running Form
May 6, 2011 By 15 Comments
In case you aren’t a subscriber, I wanted to mention that the June edition of Runner’s World (currently on newsstands) includes an article by Peter Vigneron titled “Does Form Matter.” I wanted to thank Peter for including me and my buddy Harry Hollines (the barefoot runner) in the article, and I have to say it […]
The Pros and Cons of Video Analysis: Getting the Runner’s Body Back in Balance by Dr. Phil Maffetone
April 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Last week I published a post where I invited you to play the role of Physical Therapist and evaluate my friend Lauren’s running gait. The response to that post was quite amazing, and we plan to do some follow-up filming outdoors with a local specialist later this week – stay tuned! One of the points […]
Vibram Fivefingers TrekSport Review
March 31, 2011 By 22 Comments
I have a special affinity for the funky Vibram Fivefingers toeshoes. The VFF KSO was my first true zero-drop running shoe, and it was the shoe that taught me how to run without a big wedge of cushion under my feet. I followed the KSO by getting a pair of the Vibram Bikilas, and managed […]
Merrell Barefoot Trail Glove Review: Another Great Zero Drop Running Shoe Option
February 27, 2011 By 80 Comments
I’ve written frequently here on Runblogger about my affinity for the Vibram Fivefingers shoes. I currently have three pairs (VFF Bikila, KSO, and Trek Sport), and find them to be great tools for both form work and leg/foot strengthening workouts (I’m not a full-time zero drop runner). Until recently, the Vibrams were really the only […]
On the Limitations of Science in the Study of Running
January 21, 2011 By 19 Comments
Image via Wikipedia As runners, we often want concrete, black and white answers to questions about things like shoe design, running form, training methods, and so on. Does running in a minimal shoe make you less prone to injury than running in a traditionally cushioned, heel-lifted shoe? Does switching form to a midfoot strike make […]
