It's summer again, which means flip-flops (or sandals, or thongs, or plakkies, or teenslippers or whatever you want to call them). I used to walk on regular flip-flops, but they aren't great for your feet and since I have quite a flat arch, or a basically non-existent one, they really weren't great for my feet....

So which one should you get? The Brooks Ghost 12 has a forefoot stack of 19 mm and a heel stack... Continue Reading →
I've have used the AfterShokz Trekz Air for the last 1.5 years. They are wireless bone conduction headphones. Through vibrations on your cheekbones they transmit the sound. And to be honest I don't know why there are still people out there that stuff/cover their ears with earbuds/headphones when they go outside to exercise, when you... Continue Reading →
There as been a lot of hype around the first version of the Nike Epic React Flyknit. But let's be honest, there is ALWAYS a lot of hype around the Nike running shoes. That's partially because of the brandname, but also because once in a while Nike comes up with really innovative shoes. I never... Continue Reading →
