Exploring the world in running shoes
This is the first pair of Saucony running shoes that I’ve tried. But I had heard good things about the brand before. The Freedom ISO 2 is a neutral running shoe with a low drop of just 4 mm, with a forefoot height of 18 mm and a heel height of 22 mm. It only... Continue Reading →
I’ve been wearing Skechers running shoes for years, ever since I started running five years ago. They were the first brand of running shoes I owned and the GoTrail Ultra 4 is still one of my favorite running shoes of all time (I have owned 4 different pairs of those). But other runners have often... Continue Reading →
I like maximal cushioned shoes, so I’ve been looking forward to trying the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 for a while. It wasn’t the first New Balance shoe I tested, but it was the first Fresh Foam shoe I got to test and I was curious about it. Every big shoe company has their own... 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...

The plan was to run the half marathon at the Venloop in preparation for Edinburgh marathon, but as usual these days, things didn’t go according to plan. I still don’t have a lot of energy since being on the new heart medication, so I decided to run the 10k instead. The start is about 400... Continue Reading →
I never got to try the first version of the Epic React, although they were on my wish list. There was quite a lot of hype surrounding them (but isn’t that always the case with Nike shoe releases?) and some even declared them the best running shoes of 2018. This was the first running shoe...

The Rubix is the new stability shoe from New Balance. It has an 8 mm drop and quite a bit of cushioning. The shoe reminded me a bit of the 90’s somehow. Maybe because of the outsole that is a bit wider than the upper. But at the same time, it’s also a modern shoe... Continue Reading →
361 Degrees is a fairly new brand on the European market. But they are already a well known brand in China. I had heard of them before, but I hadn’t tried any of their shoes yet. So, when I had the chance to try their new Spire 3, I obviously said yes. The 361 Degrees... Continue Reading →
The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is actually a combination of some of the previous Nike running shoe models. It has elements from the Pegasus 35, the React and from the Vaporfly 4%. There has been a lot of hype around this shoe, as is often the case with the running shoes Nike launches. I was... 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 →
