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 →
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 →
Saucony Freedom ISO 2 – A bit too much freedom
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 →
Skechers GOrun 7 – Understanding the hype behind the Hyper Burst
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 →
New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 V9 – Sleeker, but not yet sleek enough.
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 →
Asics Metaride – The ultimate long distance running shoe?
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...

Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 – Is it still epic?
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...

First impressions: Nike Epic React Flyknit 2
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. Nike Epic... Continue Reading →
First impressions: Saucony Freedom ISO 2
I've never tried Saucony before, this is my first pair by this brand. However, I did hear good things about their Everun midsole material. Maximum cushioned shoes are my preferred type of running shoe and every brand has it's own cushioned material. For Saucony, that's Everun. So I was curious to try it out. Saucony... Continue Reading →
