Summary
Shoes. As individual as… well, feet.
In this episode's conversation, we discuss training and racing shoes for both road and trail, what the unique features are as well as their (approximate) weights and price points. If your favorite shoes have started to lose some life, this will give you some ideas you can take to your local running store to find your next running sole-mate.
In the history of running, there has probably never been a time when more styles, brands, and models have been available. And every year, after countless hours of research, development, and testing, brands release something completely new and revolutionary as well as updated versions of our favorites.
