One of my favorite footwear companies is getting into one of my favorite extracurricular activities, which immediately puts Lems in a bit of a tough spot. I already like their shoes. That means they weren’t starting...
A good daily trainer should disappear on your feet. It should feel comfortable from the first mile, stay smooth as the run goes on, and handle everything from easy recovery runs to steady long...
I handed the Saucony Triumph 24 to our guest tester with one basic assignment: wear them for the kind of running most of us actually do. Not race day. Not a carefully staged tempo...
Road running can be brutal on the body. Mile after mile of pavement pounds the feet, knees, hips, and lower body. That is why I always pay close attention when a company releases a...
After a long stretch of winter, I finally got a chance to put some miles into the Diadora Vigore V. As the snow started melting and the paved trails began clearing up, I was...
I live and train in west Michigan, where winter does not mess around. We deal with lake-effect snow, long gray stretches, and weeks where the trails disappear under deep drifts. Some mornings I wake...
I’ve had a long, sometimes frustrating relationship with the Saucony Peregrine line. Over the years, I’ve run in versions I really liked and others that pushed me away from the shoe entirely. Some early...
Running has a way of exposing the truth…about your fitness, your habits, and your excuses. If the goal for the new year is to run stronger, longer, and more consistently, the answer isn’t just...
Every runner knows the feeling. That moment when lungs are burning, legs are flying, and suddenly…you’re not running anymore. You’re floating. Flying. Tapped into something ancient and electric. That feeling is the runner’s high....
I have run in just about all of the Brooks shoe models over the past 20+ years, since I’ve become a “real” runner. Without question, I have to say that they are the best...
Finding the right walking shoe has become increasingly important for me over the years. I’m not running like I used to. Joint issues have made that part of my fitness routine a thing of...
After spending months running in the La Sportiva Prodigio Pro and loving it, I wanted to see how the new Prodigio Max compared. The Pro quickly became one of my favorite trail shoes for...
Trail running shoes are one of those pieces of gear where you can feel the difference right away. Comfort, fit, grip, and cushion all matter when you are out on the trails for an...
I’ve had a complicated history with the Saucony Peregrine line. Over the years, I’ve tried a few versions of the shoe…some I liked, others I didn’t. The Peregrine 8 and ISO models both fell...
I’ll start with a confession. Until now, I had never owned a pair of Brooks shoes. I know that sounds odd, especially since I’ve been running for years. While many runners swear by Brooks,...
When I first saw the Hoka Mafate X, I thought, “This might be it—the long-haul trail shoe I need for my 50-miler in Indiana.” That race is called Dances with Dirt Gnaw Bone, and...
Back in the day, if you were rocking a pair of Diadoras on the playground, you were basically the Zack Morris of the blacktop — all style, all swagger. Fast forward to now, and...
I have to be honest, I have never tried Salomon shoes before. When I first started running, many other runners were wearing the S/LAB shoes by Salomon, and I always admired their sleek design....
Wow. Technology!! That is my absolute first thought as I take the Hoka Cielo X1 2.0 out of the box. Subsequently, this will be my first foray into the world of super shoes. It’s...
