by Jon Gugala (Disclaimer: Brooks sent me these shoes for free. But I probably would have bought them on my own anyway.) Every young runner falls in love with Steve Prefontaine. Dat Mustache. The way he ran like a hellion bent on drawing blood from his opponents. And the fact that he had opponents. Pre […]

Wear the Brooks Vanguard and Stop Looking Like a Run Nerd
April 7, 2014 By 9 Comments
Intro from Pete: Jon Gugala contacted me a few weeks ago asking if I had any interest publishing a few posts on vintage running shoes. Jon is a freelance journalist, a collector of old/vintage running shoes, and clearly a much more fashion-conscious guy than I am. After first reading the article below, I realized that […]
A New Blog, and A Post On Honesty in Blog Reviews
December 10, 2013 By 7 Comments
I love to write, and for several months I’ve been contemplating the idea of starting a second blog. Runblogger is my first home, but it has grown into more of a niche site than I originally intended, and a lot of the topics I’d like to write about would simply not fit well here. For […]
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 […]
Saucony Kinvara 3 Review
May 31, 2012 By 37 Comments
I’ve done something rather unusual for me this past week plus: I’ve run over 40 consecutive miles in the same shoe. Given the size of my shoe collection and the number of active reviews I’m typically working on at a given time, it’s extremely rare for me to go even a few consecutive runs in […]
New Balance Minimus Trail: Is the MT20 Coming Soon?
May 15, 2011 By 69 Comments
I’ve written a number of posts about my up and down experience with the New Balance Minimus Trail shoes. The original version, the MT10, is an awesome shoe, but suffers from what I feel is a serious design flaw in that the black band across the forefoot is rather constricting (for at least some people). […]
Nike Zoom Pegasus 31 Running Shoe Review
June 30, 2014 By 42 Comments
For a long time I would not have considered trying a shoe like the Nike Pegasus. I generally like shoes that are lighter and lower profile, but over the past couple of years I’ve come to realize that a higher drop shoe will work fine for me if it has a relatively soft heel. I […]
Finding the Most Comfortable Running Shoe for You
February 7, 2014 By 35 Comments
It seems that one of the almost universally accepted maxims about finding the best running shoe for you is to choose the one that feels most comfortable on your feet for the type of running you intend to use it for. Another way this is often phrased is to choose the shoe that disappears on […]
Options for Flat Replacement Insoles for Running Shoes: Inov-8 and Ortholite Fusion
February 4, 2014 By 42 Comments
I’m a big fan of swapping insoles around between shoes. Sometimes a shoe might fit a tad tight, and swapping in a thinner insole from another shoe can free up enough space to make the fit comfortable. Sometimes a shoe is too cushy or too firm, and an insole change can completely change the feel […]
Topo MT (Mountain Trainer) Review: A Non-Tabi Topo Trail Shoe
January 21, 2014 By 15 Comments
Last year Tony Post made a bit of a splash when he left his position as CEO of Vibram USA to launch his own footwear company. Post led Vibram through a period of time when the Fivefingers line of “toe-shoes” were red hot, and left just as VFF sales seemed to be headed off a […]
Merrell Mix Master Lightweight Trail Running Shoe: Preview and First Impressions
December 28, 2011 By 26 Comments
Merrell made quite a splash in 2011 at the minimal end of the running shoe spectrum with its Merrell Barefoot lineup. The Merrell Trail Glove is a fantastic shoe, and remains one of my personal favorites, and they have a selection of zero drop shoes more suitable for road running coming out in the next […]
Skechers GOrun Review: A Second (Positive) Opinion
November 15, 2011 By 65 Comments
If you’ve read my recent review of the Skechers GOrun, you’ll note that I was somewhat surprised by how much I liked running in the shoe despite the somewhat awkward feel that you get when simply standing in them. I’d still prefer that the shoe not have as pronounced a “bump” under the midfoot, but […]
On Running Form, Variability in Elites, and What it Means to You (and Me)
August 9, 2010 By 34 Comments
Image by -nanio- via Flickr If there is one thing that I have learned in 15+ years of teaching and studying biology, it’s that variation is the norm rather than the exception. Variability is the reason why biology is sometimes called the “sloppy science,” and it’s the reason why undergraduate biology majors at my college […]
Using Road Racing Shoes for Trail Running
July 6, 2015 By 48 Comments
by David Henry I’ve been using road racing shoes for trail running for quite some time now. Within this category, I typically look for shoes that feel fast and quick, are lightweight, and yet can still protect against the hazards of the trail. Recently, I spent some time trying to narrow down the shoe(s) I […]
Runblogger Reader Survey Results: Top Trail Running Shoes of 2014
February 16, 2015 By 14 Comments
Last week I posted the results of the 2014 Runblogger reader survey of top road running shoes. In this post we move on to the trail shoe results (delayed a bit by a stomach virus that has ripped through my house over the past week…). For the trail shoe survey, I received a total of […]
