Riding the Running Waves With the Mizuno Wave Rider 16
You know how certain running shoes just feel right? Like they were made for your feet? And when you lace them up, you somehow get this magical running power that makes you faster, springier and somehow happier?

Boosting My Workout: adidas Boost Running Shoe Review
As I mentioned previously, I headed into NYC recently to check out the launch of adidas’ latest addition to the legions of running shoes out on the market. They swore that this shoe would change the running world, but don’t all companies make that claim with each shoe they introduce? So what did I do? [...]
Flex Freely—and Totally Supported—With Free-Flex Insoles
We know, we know. Insoles aren’t particularly sexy. And, truth be told, I don’t usually wear them. But these new Free-Flex Flex Shoe Insoles caught our attention, and we just had to try them. Specifically designed for minimalist shoes like the Nike Free and Reebok RealFlex, these are kind of an upgrade to the usual insole [...]

Support Meets Swiftness: Fila CoolMax Swyft
Ya’ll know how we’re all about wanting to feel fast in our shoes right? (If I actually am fast is another subject for another day.) Well, the Fila CoolMax Swyft promises a supportive yet swift ride (hence the name), so when we had the opportunity to try it, you know we did. And for this review, we [...]

We Go “Natural” Running in Three Pairs of Adidas…
What does “natural” running mean? Well, best as we can tell, it’s running as close to barefoot as possible without actually going barefoot. And if you’ve ever been on FBG before, you know it’s a big ol’ trend. There are so, so, so many minimalist shoes coming out. Scratch that. Most major brands are coming [...]
