Exploring the world in running shoes
I reviewed 19 pairs of running shoes in 2019: 361 Degrees 361 Degrees Strata 3 The Strata 3 is the new mid-to-high mileage stability shoe by 361 Degrees. It has a new lacing system and is a nice plush ride. The Strata 3 is a good long, slow run training shoe for those looking for... Continue Reading →
When I think of running shoes, Reebok is not the first brand that comes to mind. Not because there is anything wrong with Reebok, but I just associate them more with lifestyle sportswear rather than actual sportswear. But I heard some rumours about this great new running shoe from Reebok that was only $100. So,... Continue Reading →
My first running shoes from Brooks were the Levitate 2 and I was very impressed by that shoe and its midsole material, which made me wonder. Because I know so many runners that are so happy with their Brooks running shoes, why is that. When I put the Ghost 12 on they were comfortable right... Continue Reading →

Now, that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, there are lots of weird looking running shoes out there that aren’t half bad. Looking at the design... Continue Reading →
This is the second shoe from Saucony that I get to test. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Saucony Freedom ISO 2, I had some issues with the upper and the ISO fit, the same upper Saucony used on several of their models. But the Ride ISO 2 has a new upper and it’s... 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 →
I’ve come across so many runners that really like their Brooks running shoes. So, I wanted to know what that was all about. Thus, when I found a pair of Brooks Levitate 2 on sale, I decided to buy them. It wasn’t just a pair of the regular Levitate 2, it was the Ugly Christmas... Continue Reading →
In 2018 Hoka One One launched the Fly collection consisting of the Elevon, the Mach and the Cavu. The three shoes in the Fly collection are all light, yet cushioned shoes. The most cushioned shoe in the collection is the Hoka Elevon, which is a bit similar to the Hoka One One Vanquish. The Elevon... Continue Reading →
