I have been running trails for the better part of a decade, and I have worn through enough pairs of shoes to know what separates a great trail running shoe from a forgettable one. After logging hundreds of miles across everything from soft Appalachian singletrack to rocky Colorado mountain descents, our team put 10 of … Read more

I still remember my first trail run in a pair of road shoes – muddy ankles, bruised toes, and zero confidence on wet rock.

The arch I never thought about started collapsing visibly when I stood on a hardwood stage for a … Read more

I have been testing cycling shoes for our team since 2019, and I have never seen a category transform this quickly. Stiff carbon soles that used to cost serious money now show up on shoes you can wear every day. BOA dials that once failed after a season now come with multi-year warranties. And after … Read more
