Exploring the world in running shoes
I don’t live that far away from the trails, not very technical, pretty flat trails, that is, given that this is a flat country after all. So, once in a while, I’ll go trail running. I’ve always had at least one pair of trail running shoes in my rotation: Skechers GoRun Ultra (versions 1, 2,... Continue Reading →
Over the years I’ve tried most of the (After)Shokz models. I started off with the Air, then went on to the Aeropex, as well as the OpenMove and the OpenRun Pro, which are all open-ear bone conduction headphones. Now Shokz is introducing something new, the OpenFit, which are not only their first earbuds, but also... Continue Reading →
The Asics Gel Nimbus 24 is a neutral, plush daily trainer. The first version of the Nimbus that I tried was the Nimbus 20 and I also tried the Nimbus 22, thus needless to say I needed to try the 24 next. I found the 22 to be better than the 20, so will the... Continue Reading →
I already tried the 1080 V9 and the 1080 V11 and liked the Fresh Foam, but both those models had some issues with the heel counter. And I like max cushioned shoes, so more Fresh Foam did sound good to me, but somehow I didn’t get around to testing the first two versions of this... Continue Reading →
I haven’t tried that many carbon-plated shoes yet. Mainly because I’m not very fast, so some carbon-plated shoes are just not a good fit for me. I did try the Saucony Endorphin Speed before and I did like the foam in that one, but the nylon plate sort of killed my feet, so I couldn’t... Continue Reading →
I’ve reviewed 6 pairs of Adidas shoes over the years. Some I really liked, others were just okay. But this is the first pair of Solarglide shoes that I’ve tried and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Adidas Solarglide 5 The stack of this shoe is quite high for a daily trainer, 36 millimeters... Continue Reading →
The Ultraboost 22 has both men's and women's specific version rather than just a shrunken down version for the women. But it still has the well known Boost midsole.
Lots of things are currently changing at Shokz (formerly AfterShokz). They’ve changed their name and the product names of some of their products and now they’ve launched a new product, the OpenRun Pro. Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) makes bone conduction headphones. The vibrations go via your bones to your inner ear rather than via your eardrum... Continue Reading →
The Brooks Ghost is the popular daily trainer in the Brooks line-up. I’ve reviewed the Ghost 12 before and although I enjoyed the ride, the heel to toe transition wasn’t that smooth. But Brooks has made some changes in the 13th and 14th edition of this shoe. I’ve tried both, but both in the Gore-Tex... Continue Reading →
I’ve been using Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) headphones for 4 years now. I started using the Air in 2018, but for the past 2.5 years I’ve been using the Aeropex model and sometimes the OpenMove. They’ve now given the Aeropex a small upgrade and renamed it to OpenRun. Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) makes bone conduction headphones. The... Continue Reading →
