Structured trainers
Hoka One One Mafate
If you want your legs to feel as fresh at 8, or 15, or 22 miles into your run as they feel during the first few miles, you need your shoe to reduce the accumulated damage done. This is that shoe.
Hoke One One Bondi B
My first run in this shoe was a 5k road race. I liked these shoes a lot right from the gun. But it wasn't until about two miles into that race‚ on the descent‚ that I fell in love.

Asics GT 2150 (2010)
Asics is shipping some 2010 product out to stores like ours, and we availed ourselves of the chance to run in next year’s version of the famous Asics GT-series.
