Adidas Takumi Sen Adidas Gazelle OG Homme Vente Think of the Takumi Sen as a lighter, leaner version of the Adios 2. It¡¯s a racing flat built for speed and has the characteristic stiff, firm adidas racing sole. I have a pair and have run in them once ¨C those who like the Adios will love this shoe. For more, view this video at Running Warehouse.The Torin looks to be a more cushioned cousin to the Instinct. It weighs in at just under 10oz in size 9 and has a stack height of 28mm. It is available now at Running Warehouse.
Griffiths feels that pronation is simply one factor to consider when dealing with an injured patient, and this is in line with my view as well. It¡¯s one factor among many that could contribute to any given injury, and it has been given a primacy in the footwear world that it does not deserve. It would be like deciding all of a sudden that we should assign shoes to runners based on their amount of hip adduction and internal rotation because excessive amounts have been linked to increased patellofemoral pain syndrome risk ¨C at least in this case there would be some science supporting the practice.
Regarding injury risk due to ¡°overpronation,¡± Griffiths has this to say:It is a commonly held belief that pronation will increase the risk of lower extremity injury. However (perhaps surprisingly) this is not particularly well supported by the literature, with very few studies which actually show pronation increases injury risk. Instead, there are numerous pieces of work which have shown there is no association with foot type and injury and some research exists which even suggests that a pronated foot type is actually protective against injury.
I give the Merrell Bare Access 2 a slight edge over the Altra Instinct 1.5 due to the fact that the Merrell Barefoot last fits me so perfectly. Roomy forefoot, glove like fit through the midfoot and heel, and very little excess material (resulting in a considerably lighter shoe than the Altras). Like the Instinct, the Bare Access 2 has a full rubber outsole which should provide excellent durability. Great shoe ¨C you can read my full Merrell Bare Access 2 review here.
The PureDrift is Brooks¡¯ most minimal shoe. It has a removable insole that allows it to convert between a 4mm and zero drop shoe ¨C stack height without the 6mm heel-2mm forefoot insole is a uniform 12mm Adidas LA Trainer Homme Boutique . Weight is 6.1oz in size 9. The PureDrift ships any day now from Running Warehouse. It is in-stock at Road Runner Sports.
I¡¯ve heard a lot of good things about the Salomon Sense, but have also heard that it¡¯s not durable enough to justify the hefty price tag. The Sense Mantra is a slightly beefier shoe with what looks like a more durable outsole (weight = 9.6 oz in size 9; stack height = 21mm heel, 15mm forefoot). Most importantly, the price tag is much less than the Sense at MSR Vente Adidas Tech Super Homme P $120. The Sense Mantra is available now at Running Warehouse.
