Patagonia Men's Fore Trail Running Shoe Review

For two years I have been transitioning away from heavily cushioned, pronation control shoes to lighter, lower drop running shoes. My form has changed and my shoe preference has changed along with it. I still run in a variety of shoes from Patagonia's Specter and original Tsali with their 10 mm drop to lower drop shoes like the Saucony Kinvara to true 'barefoot shoes' like the Merrell Trail Glove (which is awesome for short trail runs, just watch your foot placement!). But now with the Forerunner I have found 'my shoe'. I was a bit unsure before my first run in them but now I am a devoted fan to the point where I do not want to run in anything else: love the light weight, 4 mm drop, and the fact that they have just enough cushioning so that my feet don't feel beat after a longer run. I know Patagonia is updating the shoe for Spring 2013 for a more secure upper. Crossing my fingers and toes since I already find the upper holds my foot in really well. Just a fantastic all around shoe for trail or road.

I originally got these shoes to wear to the gym. What I noticed right away for weight lifting they are great. What I like about them is one gets a bit of ground feel like a minimalist shoe. The shoes themselves are lite and comfortable. Even with ventalation i have been able to wear these in cold conditions. It seems 30 f is about the limit. When wet they seem to dry fairly fast.

I urge anyone wanting a good shoe to wear to the gym that has minimalist feel to try these shoes. The colors seem too loud to wear outside an athletic setting.

I bought the Vibram Fivefingers SeeYa LS with the shoelace. Unfortunately I have wide feet (DD) and this shoe is much too narrow for my feet. I have the proper size for my feet, but the width in the center of the shoe does not give for a wide foot. Otherwise this is a great shoe! I am almost always barefoot and these shoes are like heaven for me.

These run about 1/2 size smaller than most running shoes, but I knew that already. This is my third pair of the Ultra Race 3.0. This is probably the last of them as the style changed with a different lacing mechanism.

These are ultra comfortable shoes to wear. I am not a triathlete, but I walk a lot and these are fantastic shoes. They fit like a glove and I don't have to adjust the lacing.

I kept them because even though they are tight in the toes, I really like the rest of the fit. They do a great job of replacing the greatly uncomfortable P**as.

So far, I can only say good things about these shoes. My last pair of shoes were a pair Reebok Fuel Extremes, and I do like those slightly better, but it is a close call.

I've had these shoes for 5 days, and I've put 27 miles on them. So far, they are light, sturdy, and well cushioned. They also fit well (no slipping/moving around) without feeling constricting or overly tight. I run on sidewalks/roads/paved surfaces, so I can't speak to how they'd hold up to off road running.

I've also had no issues with blistering, which was a problem with the previously mentioned pair of Reeboks, so that's a huge plus in their favor.

Given the current experience, I would buy this brand again in the future when it's time for another pair. We'll see if these can hold up over the long run I coaxed 591 miles out of the Reeboks, so these have their work cut out for them, but I'm optimistic based on their strong start. If they hold up, I'll upgrade this to 5 stars.

I love the color scheme and the insole is very comfortable. The shoes are very light. I wasn't sure I would like the memory foam, but I do. Not sure how long it will hold up, but I like them very much.

These shoes fit great and are very comforable to run in. I run an average of 18 miles a week.

Honest reviews on Fila Men's Memory Finest Hour Running Shoe

Nice looking shoes that are comfortable. But the soles are somewhat thin and the memory foam is super thin. I like them right now but I am not sure how long that will last. I stand at work and I hope these will hold up.

The other reviews hit the nail on the head on how great the running shoes are. DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU PLAN ON RUNNING ON THE ROAD! The studs are not designed for it; these are trail and winter conditions running shoes only. Great ones at that.

Iceburg really knows how to create an effective snow and ice running shoe. We run in the mountains of colorado all year long. In Spring, with the low humidity, snow only melts in the direct sun. The rest turns to solid ice! These shoes allow you to run seamlessly on ice, snow, rock, and dirt -all brilliantly. While others are taking off and on their Yak-Traks or Kahtoolamicro-spikes, I just keep on going. Thanks Icebug!

Best Deals on Icebug Men's Pytho2 BUGrip Running Shoe

The icebug Pytho2 has series of slightly retractable spikes, these spikes enable you run over hard packed snow and ice without having to slow down or change your gait.

I have worn these shoes for over 150 miles now throughout the winter of 2012-2013. We have had a lot snow, frozen rain and freeze thaw cycles making for slippery conditions underfoot. Wearing the Icebugs I have been able to plow through these adverse conditions without fear of falling. The Pytho is a low drop shoe with a rather stiff midsole, its best suited for trails and shorter ice infested urban runs. I have ran up to 10 miles on the streets in them, they are easier to run in then YakTrax but running on the treated streets is not my favorite activity in these shoes. I have ran up 20 miles on hard snow packed and ice covered trails, thats were these shoes really shine. Tonight I ran in near blizzard conditions on the Lake front trail, I did not have to worry about ice and water resistant upper works well when you get caught in a snow drift.

The shoes look to be very durable, I am sure they will last many seasons, making the seemingly high price point become a relative bargain. The midsole is a little hard and inflexible, thats why I rating them 4/5. The fit a little large, but in the winter I like to wear slightly thicker smart wool socks, I got mine true to size and they fit fine.

Honest reviews on Icebug Men's Pytho2 BUGrip Running Shoe

Did 15 miles in my new Icebug Pytho2 BUGrip trail shoes. Started on the asphalt trail, which had been plowed, for the first 3 miles. The next 4 miles had 4" to 6" of snow. A littler respite over the last 1/2 miles to the turnaround point. On the way back we met a tractor plowing the trail, so the return trip was on asphalt with patches of snow 1/2" to 1" deep. A little bit of ice under the snow but nothing dangerous. The shoes fit me well and nothing chafed or rubbed. They are water resistant so my feet stayed fairly dry. The carbide spikes built into the soles provided great traction and security. I was confident running down the steepest hill on the route despite it being unplowed. I tried a different Icebug model on the previous Tuesday doing hill repeats on a an asphalt trail with 1/2" to 1" of slick snow and had good traction at all times. For winter conditions, these are great trail shoes. I think they'd also be good on muddy and soft trails.

As an underpronator, I'm generally told to look for a running shoe that is cushioned, flexible, and has arch support but no stability features. The cushion is to offset the fact that my foot is rather rigid (which is why it doesn't roll in to the neutral position). I need impact to be absorbed, so I don't hurt myself. The flexibility is to encourage my foot to roll inward in much as it is willing to do so. And the arch support reduces the affect of impact on my arch, and as a result helps me avoid plantar fasciitis (which I have suffered from in the past).

This shoe meets all the above criteria. Despite being incredibly well cushioned, it somehow also manages to be flexible in the forefoot. The middle section of the shoe wraps my foot snugly, lending arch support. I feel both secure and comfortable in this shoe. Also, this shoe is lighter than some other cushioned shoes I've tried. In short, I love it!

Sizing note: My non-running shoes are all 8-8.5. My running shoes are generally size 9. I need a 9.5 in these, to get the roominess that is recommended for when feet swell during running.

Review of New Balance Men's MT00 Running Shoe

NEW BALANCE Mens MT00CO Zinnia Running shoe Sz: 10.5
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I've owned the NB Minimus MT10(Orange/Black color)for the past 9 month and have absolutely loved it. It's stylish, comfortable, and durable. So when I saw this new orange MT00 came out, I just had to get it.

I thought the MT10 was light, but WOW let me tell you the MT00 is probably only half the weight of the MT10. It feels like I'm not wearing any shoes at all. I think the lighter weight is not because of the 10mm heel drop difference, but because of the difference in materials. The original MT10 is made out of mostly mesh. The MT00 is made out of this very thin filmsy material. This material looks so thin that I don't know how long the shoe will last, but I've never ever had any problem with New Balance shoes, so I have no doubt that the MT00 will last.

I've not run in the MT00 yet, when I do I will update this review.

Bottom line this new MT00 is very stylish, and it's super light!

UPDATE: Order this shoe 1/2 size smaller than your normal shoe size. The size 8.5 NB MT10 fits me perfectly while wearing a thin pair of socks. The MT00 feels a little big, even while wearing a thick pair of socks.

This pair of shoes have proven to be amazing. Super comfortable and very light and easy to take anywhere. A key point is that you need to check the width of your feet because I first tried some extra wide and they really felt wrong. Once I found the right width they have been incredibly cool. I am sure you will enjoy them. I use them to go hiking specially accross rivers as they dry quickly.

Then again I probably exceed the miles rated for this shoe. I run to and from work (3 mi each way) so I managed to put about 700 mi in 8 months. After about 4 months the shoes started forming holes in the corners where your toes bend (on each side). After forming about a dime sized hole, the material stopped ripping. I ran about 300 more miles on it without any other issues. I loved how light the shoes are feel. It is like running in your socks. One bad thing is that any water moisture on the ground will go right through the bottoms to your feet. The good thing is that it will quickly dry once you get to a dry surface again.

Honest reviews on New Balance Men's MT00 Running Shoe

After going through 2 pairs of Saucony Hattori, VFF Bikila LS and Saucony Hattori LC I wanted to try something new and ordered a pair of these.

Out of the box it became immediately clear to me that the quality of this shoe is so-so: I noticed the excess glue marks between the sole and upper and there are bits of excess fabric hanging of the edge of the inner sole.

Considering its 100$ price mark, that is not what I expected.

On the road the sole feels great: it provides plenty of grip on most surfaces and has a good ground feel.

The upper mesh material however is terrible: it is way too rigid and bends in a kind of plasticky way, even sounds that way.

I just don't enjoy running or moving around in them for that reason. It is kind of a shame, because the basic shape, weight and sole of this shoe are great.

Not recommended.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

*Disclaimer: I love running in minimal-ish shoes. Thin, around 5-6mm drops, but with more cushion than an official "minimal" product.

I fell in love with my old Puma Faas 300. They became my best friends for training: I even ran a few races in them! When they became treadworn and ready for retirement they were replaced with another brand that was "highly recommended" for long runs.

The new other-brand shoes are great for long runs but I missed the feeling of my Puma Faas, their quick reaction, the way they lost themselves on my feet as I forgot I was wearing anything at all. When a pair of Puma Faas 250 (the slightly-thinner cousin of my beloved 300) showed up at a discount price on Amazon my heart skipped a beat. With a few clicks, they were mine.

These shoes are AMAZING for my quality workouts. They have the same Faas fit that I've come to love but with a (did not think it was possible) thinner, springier sole. I can feel the ground as I run which is what I crave. My feet can quickly correct for adjustments in terrain, my ankle is stable, and the shoe is so light it never weighs me down.

These are my go-to shoes for speed work, strides, splits, track training... all my runs except my long-mile runs. If you are a neutral runner (go to a running shoe store and find out!) that loves minimal-ish shoes, these are worth a look. I order my true "run shoe" size (which is always 1/2 size larger than my regular non-run shoesI don't know why) and they fit beautifully.

I love this shoe because it's lightweight, mesh upper allows my foot to breathe.

This shoe is best for short, several mile runs. It doesn't have too much support or cushioning and I think sort of falls under the minimalist area vice cushioning and support. I have an issue though with the shoe tongue sliding down -nothing to keep it up like a tab in the laces; however I still like the shoe a lot and I'm a Puma fan. In fact I have four pairs of this shoe afraid that it'll stop being sold.

I recommend these shoes to everyone especialy Professional Protection Specialists, Geologists, Archetects etc. They have no weight, they feel like a pair of well broken in running shoes straight out of the box. These shoes bring me back to the days of the original GSG9 boots that I miss. Those who know what I'm talking about will love these. They go great with all pants, jeans or shorts, and in any color. I traded out the laces for black 550 cord which I would recommend and tac the tab but that is it for needed mods. I favor these more than my OTB Thors now, just to tell you how much I like them.

I'm not sure if anyone notice but there is no stitching on the upper part of the shoe unlike the other Salomon range in the past and I think it's a good thing as it provide less abrasion contact between the skin and the shoe. Cleaning the muddy Crossmax is also easy as the dirt will come off the shoe without much scrubbing

Now that I have a Few of 5k's on the mileage, I can say that I like these shoes. I have run one race that was cross county and 2 that were pavement races. I felt good running in them. the lack of a tie-able shoelace presents a decent ease of mind, having run a 5k with my Nike's and having the shoe lace come untied. The tread is awesome and has yet to show any kind of wear.
