The Adidas Boston3 is well suited to marathon racing and tempo style running, they encourage the kind of rolling gait that can eat up the miles at a decent but perhaps not break-neck pace.

Inov-8 F-Lite 195 Review
The Inov8 F-Lite 195 is a popular shoe amongst the CrossFit fraternity and for minimally inclined runners. For me they sat best as a gym/walking shoe or for small volumes of running on natural surfaces.

The new 2012 Nike Free range explained
The new 2012 Nike Free range: 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 was eagerly anticipated by runners, but now they have arrived a slightly confusing picture has emerged for runners and retailers to understand, Mark Gorski and I have a go at explaining how it all fits together.
Saucony Kinvara 2 Review
I’ve been slow to appreciate the Saucony Kinvara 2, but I’m beginning to warm to it as part of my regular shoe tool-kit. The Kinvara is cushy, with a 4mm heel to toe drop, making it a good option for runners making a forefoot and/or minimal transition. The low drop works the calves, feet and Achilles, while the cushion provides protection – a mix worth considering.
Adidas Adizero Hagio Review
The Adidas Adizero Hagio is an interesting shoe design that morphs the original Adios with some elements of the Adizero Pro. What’s come out is a hybrid that many runners will enjoy as a training and racing shoe. However, fans of a snug, tight fitting racing flat may find the Hagio not quite to their taste.
Mizuno Wave Musha 4 Review
The Mizuno Wave Musha 4 has radical looks that have drawn mixed reviews. But setting aside bright colors it has performed admirably as a different style of shoe: a daily minimal trainer.
