I first got to test this shoe on a Formula 1 racing track, yup, you read that right. We got to run around in them on a soon to reopen Formula 1 racing track to see how fast these shoes could go. Spoiler, obviously not as fast as a Formula 1 car. There are a... Continue Reading →
Reebok Forever Floatride Energy – Can surprisingly simple win it from the big boys?
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 →
Brooks Ghost 12 – A very versatile ride
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 →
Brooks Glycerin 17 – Flexible cushioning
Over the years I’ve heard good things about the Brooks Glycerin and since I like neutral cushioned shoes, I had to try them out for myself. Especially since I was looking for my next marathon shoe and thought the Glycerin 17 might be right for me. The 17th edition of the Glycerin has a 10... Continue Reading →
Brooks Ghost versus Glycerin
The Ghost and the Glycerin are two of the most popular shoes in the Brooks line-up. They are both neutral road running shoes that have roughly the same stack height and the same weight. So which one should you get? Left: Brooks Ghost 12. Right: Brooks Glycerin 17. The Brooks Ghost 12 has a forefoot... Continue Reading →
New Balance Fresh Foam Roav – Is it a sneaker or a running shoe?
When I first saw the New Balance Fresh Foam Roav, I must admit, I did think they looked good, but they didn’t look like your average running shoe. 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 →
Saucony Ride ISO 2 – It’s quite the ride
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 →
Brooks Levitate 2 – Too heavy to levitate?
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 →
On Cloudswift – Definitely surprising, but in a good or a bad way?
I’ve never ran in a shoe by On Running before, I had never even tried on a pair of their shoes before. But I did see a lot of runners, and hikers, in their shoes and I got curious (like always). I wasn’t sure which On Running model would be the best fit for me,... Continue Reading →
Skechers MaxRoad 3 Ultra – Not as ultra as one might hope
The Skechers MaxRoad 3 has a bit of a complex history. Normally, if a shoe company has a successful model, they won’t change too much between the different versions. Take Nike for example, if they make a second version of a shoe they’ll change something about the upper or the sole, but not both at... Continue Reading →
