Now that I have had a chance to run for varying distances and conditions, I can give a true review of the Skora Base. I have put slightly over 100 miles on them in the first month since purchased. (more…)
Shoe review: Brooks Pure Flow for Kids
Back in March, when I was in Virginia Beach for the Shamrock Marathon, my family and I swung by the running expo to pick up my race packet and check out the vendor tables. I had my eye on some Pure Connects at the Brooks booth, so my wife inquired about kid shoes since Connor was in need of a new pair.

Shoe review – Skora Base
I am moving into the world of minimal and zero drop running shoes. The goal of minimalist and zero drop footwear is to get back to the basics – efficient, proper form running.

The shoe is there to help carry you to your goal.

Brooks Pure Connect 2 Review
If I had the will-power to limit myself to one shoe for all occasions, the Pure Connect 2 would be it. Light enough for short races, padded enough for distance training and racing, as well as comfortable and stylish enough to wear casually. At the time of this review, I have slightly over 100 miles on them.

Asics Gel Lite33 Review – Marathon tested
I am updating this review since I ran my first marathon wearing the Asics Gel Lite33’s. I did the majority of my long runs during my 16 week marathon training plan in these shoes. They were nice and lightweight and had just enough padding in the forefoot to get me through the long miles. They held up perfect for the marathon. I don’t remember thinking about them during the race at all. So that is a good thing. These shoes are great for distance running, but there is something about the heel of shoe that I do not like for just casual wear. But I would recommend this show for a lightweight marathon shoe.
Columbia Drainmaker Review – A great shoe for Tough Mudder
I spent a long time searching for the best shoe to wear for Tough Mudder. If you are not familiar with the Tough Mudder, it is a 10-12 mile military style obstacle course. Mud, water, ice, electricity. Fun, right?! You can check out the madness at the Tough Mudder site. (more…)
