Adizero Adios 2010

 This Germany company is a behemoth, making shoes for athletes in sports many people have never heard of. They were on the right track with their '09 running collection, and their '10 Spring line is even more promising.

Adizero Boston 2010

 This more "substantial" cousin to the Adios differs from the Adios in the thickness of the midsole. It's the thickest among the lightweight trainers from Adidas. Its weight is 9.7 oz.

Brooks Ariel/Beast (2010)

 In contrast to the storming hordes proclaiming natural gaits and barefoot running, the Brooks Beast stands its post, on its wall. Overpronation? Not on its watch.

Saucony Kinvara 2010

 The Kinvara, available soon, is the latest lightweight trainer in the Saucony line. Already seen on Lindsey Corbin's feet during Kona '09, this is a great shoe for neutral runners.

Brooks Green Silence

 Brooks is not known for shoes that shout at you, but, the Green Silence is a bold and garish racing flat from an otherwise conservative - even classic - shoe company.
