Yeah, it's going to be fun to chat about some new shoes and some use cases maybe with them. For sure, yeah. It's been a while, I think, you know, since the last time we did our reviews, we've tested probably dozens of shoes between us. So I think it was, I think we're due to give the people some new shoe reviews. Some new stuff. Yeah. I think we got some fun ones too with some interesting characteristics. I was looking at just the list of stuff that you tested.

We both tested and I tested and two that kind of stood out that I think will be fun.

The tracksmith shoe, because I think there's probably less info out about that one.

And it's kind of unique with that removable insert.

And then I was thinking like, what else has kind of got that same sort of idea behind?

And there's that Speedland one that we were testing out a while ago, actually, at this point. But I don't think we talked about it. The RX, FPY. Yeah, yeah, the road one. And they've got the removable plate, which is kind of an interesting design to be able to take that in and out and not have to commit to one or the other in the shoe. So I didn't do any

efficiency testing to see what the difference is between those. Although I did see Cam Haynes was in

town. He was testing shoes with Dustin to try to figure out just what shoe he wanted to wear for,

I think at the time was the Boston Marathon, but then he got injured and didn't run it anyway. But he wanted to see, like, because that shoe had just released,

he wanted to see how it tats it up compared to one of some of the top in the, in the market.

And I think it was like, I think that one was like maybe like just under 3% above the control.

And then he also was using the A6 meta speed, I think, was the other one who was considering

using.
