By Paul Freary  The Phantasm started life for Salomon as part of its S/Lab line of high-performance running shoes. The first S/Lab Phantasm was chosen by Kilian Journet as the shoe in which he would attempt the World 24-hour track record. At the time I personally questioned whether this shoe would offer enough protection for […]

By Kieran Alger  Since launch, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 has been a big hit. This punchy, versatile daily trainer earned many accolades.

By Kieran Alger  Hi, today lets go over the On Cloudeclipse and my experience with this shoe.The On Cloudeclipse is On’s most cushioned running shoe yet. Like some kind of hybrid offspring of the Cloudmonster and the Cloudsurfer 7, this Surfmonster has the Monster’s silhouette, weight and drop but the Surfer’s softer, collapsing midsole tech. It’s […]

By Kieran Alger   Now in its third generation, the original marathon super shoe has morphed. The core ingredients of the recipe that made the first-gen shoe a huge racing hit hasn’t changed. You still get the super foam midsole, carbon plate and stripped-back lightweight uppers. But that magic combination has been tweaked. The Nike Vaporfly 3 […]

By Kieran Alger  Running shoes don’t live to see a 21st edition without doing something right for a large group of runners. But the Saucony Triumph has been a long-term popular option for daily training. Saucony describes the latest incarnation as “a light and plush performance shoe that’s built for those who need a little more […]

By Paul Freary    The Propel is an interesting shoe from New Balance. It’s a good value running shoe and all brands need competitively priced models, but here, New Balance has made their budget-friendly model somewhat of a performance-geared shoe rather than simply an everyday neutral cushioned model that most brands would choose.If you click, or […]

By Noel Paine  “We believe a run can change a day, a life, the world.” – BrooksI have not always been able to run in Brooks running shoes as I used to wear orthotics and it really limited my shoe choices. My feet got stronger, and my options expanded exponentially. As a runner, years ago who […]
