Now that the snow has all but vanished and your go-to ski-touring terrain has returned to your running paradise, you’ll need to swap out those daunting Goretex boots for some quality trail runners.

Having a hard time finding a minimalist, zero-drop shoe that still offers a touch of cushioning from the world underfoot? You simply haven’t encountered the Torin 1.5 Running Shoe. Altra’s Torin 1.5 neutral running shoe for men and women embraces the idea of minimalist design without shortchanging you on cushioning or comfort.
Runners can be a fickle bunch. Subtle changes to traditional favorites can mean the difference between a continuing love affair with your run shoes or a serious relationship debacle. That fine line can make the upgrade process to an already well-performing (and selling) running shoe a challenge. For Saucony and the Mirage 4, solid sustained performance comes through deliberate incremental evolution, not revolution.
Creating an innovative shoe that not only stands out from the crowd, but meets and exceeds consumers’ expectations can be a daunting task. With their newly reimagined Fresh Foam 980, New Balance hopes to succeed where others have fallen into the abyss of mediocrity.
There was a time, not too long ago, when athletes spent meticulous hours methodically journaling every detail of their training sessions into their beloved spiral notebook. Now, with the power of the smartphone and a singular app, it’s all in the palm of your hand.
With longer days, warmer temps and restless legs, Spring is not only when runners begin tackling more miles, it’s also the perfect opportunity to take stock of your running gear.

Trends swing like a pendulum, creating waves of fashion, art, culture, performance, you name it… there is a cycle to trends (if not everything). In the world of athletic footwear it appears as though the design pendulum is once again on the move making it’s way from max minimalism to max cushioning in a lightweight, zero drop package. The new Olympus from Altra seems to be the case in point.
