Image via Wikipedia Saucony has made a strong entry into the lightweight, flattish soled running shoe category with its recent release of the Saucony ProGrid Kinvara.

Just found this preview video on Running Warehouse about the soon to arrive Brooks Mach 12 spikeless cross country flat.

Nike Sneakerboat II: Potential Minimalist Running Shoe from Nike?
May 16, 2010 By 11 Comments
A few months ago I was reading through a thread on the Runner’s World Barefoot Running Forum about a pair of water shoes called the Nike Sneakerboat. I’ve seen water shoes/aqua socks suggested many times as a cheap form of minimalist running shoe (and a minimalist shoe should by definition be inexpensive if there’s less […]

Brooks Green Silence in a Green and Black Color Scheme?
March 22, 2010 By 2 Comments
One of the questions I frequently see posed about the new Brooks Green Silence racing flat is why it’s not actually colored green? It’s the most environmentally friendly running shoe on the market, and it has the word green in its name, so why isn’t it green??? The color scheme that has been released, asymmetrical […]
