I tend to be a little skeptical of running shoes from brands that don’t specialize in the sport. Human feet are highly individual, so it’s hard enough to find holy-grail sneakers for walking and casual wear. If I’m going to pound the pavement (and my body) for miles and miles, I prefer to leave my […]
If it’s too hot, cold, or wet to jog outside (or you just don’t feel like interacting with the outside world), then it doesn’t hurt to have a home treadmill. A good tread will make it a little more convenient to get in some cardio, and it may add variety to your running routine, too […]

My overarching takeaway: When you’re picking up the pace, these shoes are amazing—they really become an extension of your foot, and the turnover with each step feels so natural. I normally take a bit of time getting up to 5K pace from my warm-up or recoveries, but when I was wearing these, I was able […]
It’s nearly fall, and with that change in season comes some of the nicest weather for strolling—provided you have a plush pair of shoes ready to lace up, of course. If it’s been a while since you replaced your old kicks, don’t worry: There are tons of discounted options that you can shop in the […]
