Exploring the world in running shoes
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 →
It’s that time of year again. I’ve done several of these lists over the years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021) and they don’t change a whole lot each year, but I do try to update them every time. I live in a country which can be a bit cold and wet in winter and... Continue Reading →
This is the third time I’m running this race. At least, the 10-mile version of the race. I’ve also done the shorter Damloop by Night version of the race twice in 2014 and 2017. The full 10-mile version of the race I did in 2018 (got totally drenched and almost hypothermia) and in 2019 (which... Continue Reading →
I’ve tested Asics shoes before, however not the Cumulus. I wanted to see what the ride would be like in one of the most popular Asics shoes. Together with the Nimbus and the Kayano it is probably the most popular and well known shoe in the Asics collection and just like the Nimbus it is... Continue Reading →
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 →
There has been a lot to do about the Asics Metaride. That is mainly because of its price point, it costs $250/€250. When asked on social media why this shoe was so expensive, Asics replied, because Nike does it too. Which doesn’t really seem like a legitimate reason to me. It’s like Apple getting away...

I love reviewing running products. That's because curiosity is one of my main character traits. I'm genuinely curious about how products work and the pros and cons of a product. That's why I don't only write reviews, but also like reading reviews from other runners. Do I read reviews before buying running shoes? Yes, I... Continue Reading →
This shoe has been twenty years in the making. The Asics GEL-Nimbus 20 is a highly cushioned, neutral running road shoe. It has a forefoot height of 12 mm and a heel height of 25 mm for the ladies and 13 mm and 23 mm for the guys. That gives it a rather large drop,... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) I have to say that I haven't tried that many running shoes in my life, so I'm definitely not an expert. But I did do some research on the internet before buying my running shoes. Since I have a very low arch (or rather a non existent one), I need a lot of... Continue Reading →
