Nike LunarElite for 2010

The new 2010 Nike LunarElite is one of the best updates I've seen this season, and it may be a favorite for all but the heavy runners who can run with success in a neutral shoe.

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.

Tech footwear demystifier

We write about running footwear here a lot. It seemed appropriate to tell you how to read and interpret these articles. What is a "pronator?" What is a "last?" What is an "outsole," and a "medial post?"

Asics Gel Foundation 8 (2010)

Featuring a sleeked down silhouette, this Asics contains support features popular in Asics motion control shoes, but at a lighter weight than many of the motion control anchors on the market.

K-Swiss Ultra-Natural Run II

This is the K-Swiss Ultra-Natural Run II Ironman, a very lightweight shoe considering it's got "ultra" in it's title. And no, it's not the same as the K-Ona.

Newton AW

If you're a Newton fan, but, feel more like an ice skater than a runner when you contact wet or icy surfaces, there's good news for you: The Newton Running All Weather shoe.

Felt B16 for 2010

I'm always drawn to that place in a company's lineup where the company's bean counters wince as they look at how much money they're not making. Here's the bean-counter's nightmare.
