Comment on Polar FT7 Review by Shannon

The watch also tells you “Happy Birthday” on your big day…it is not only a smart watch, but also a very friendly one too!
We also forgot to mention that the battery can now be replaced by YOU and no longer has to be sent to Polar.

Comment on Review: New Balance MT910 GT by Jarod

I’m a US Army Artillery Forward Observer…. running is a constant part of my life. I bought a pair of 910’s at the Ft. Lewis PX, for my physical training uniform, and I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. It rains a lot, at Ft. Lewis…. so the GoreTex is a nice touch, for out here. The comfort and weight leave nothing to be desired, whatsoever, and, holy hell, is this shoe stable! I have gone through about 8 different running shoes, in my 5 military years, and if I can help it at all, I will never own another model, again. This shoe ought to be issued to us, in Basic Training.

Comment on K-Swiss Konesic Review by Adam B.

Tester Adam B. here, and I just tested these on a few runs and I have to say, I’m shocked at how good they are! I agree with the reviewer that motion control shoes are usually heavy, stiff, and clunky but the K-Swiss Konesic is none of these. It sports a comfortable yet secure upper fit and a surprisingly flexible, well-cushioned ride while still feeling like it will provide ample motion control for those needing it. At 12.5oz. I think that they’re actually quite svelte for a serious motion control shoe, making these a great choice for the runner needing motion control but still wanting a comfortable, fast-feeling shoe. K-Swiss is really picking up steam!

Comment on Adidas Adistar Solution Review by Adam B.

I have put in several long runs now in the Solution, and am impressed with its ability to cushion without soaking up energy or sapping speed. The fit and comfort of the upper is good, but I was definitely aware of the overlays and reinforcing pieces in the forefoot, and think this shoe could benefit from a bit ‘less’ construction in the forefoot. On long runs, I did enjoy the cushioning properties of the midsole system, which felt firm at first but great after a few miles. At 12.4 ounces, its not a super-featherweight, but is comparable in weight to other models in its class. I do think that the Solution is a good choice for the high-mileage runner seeking mild pronation control and good cushioning properties.

I’ve been running in K-Swiss’ K-Ona and Keahou 2’s. They are fantastic. The entire K-Swiss running range is really fresh and functional. I recommend giving them a try.

Comment on Asics GEL 1150 by ZRod

While skipped over by some runners for it’s “affordable” price tag, the Gel-1150 deserves some attention for doing what it does without all the bells, whistles, and hoop-la. It’s a basic, dependable training shoe that keeps you moving on down the road. The bonus here is that for the price tag, you can buy two pairs for the price of those “high end” shoes, and not feel guilty about using them as gym cross trainers. I love the one’s I tested!
