Of all of the shoes on this Adidas Gazelle OG Homme Vente list, this is the one I¡¯m most excited to try. Saucony shoes seem to work really well for me, and the Kinvara and Grid Type A5 are among my all-time favorite running shoes (both of these are also being updated this year). The Virrata looks to me to be a zero drop cousin to the Kinvara, which sounds fantastic. Weighing in at 6.7oz and with a stack height of 17mm, the Virrata is a bit more shoe than the Hattori, but a bit less shoe than the Kinvara. I¡¯m hoping it has the softish feel of the Kinvara which I like for long distances. The Virrata will be in-stock in mid-February at Running Warehouse.
This might be the best ultraminimal, barefoot-style shoe that I¡¯ve put on my feet. Stack height is 5mm heel and forefoot, so ground feel is exceptional, and weight is 6.1oz in size 10. The shoe has the typically roomy Merrell Barefoot fit, and the full rubber outsole looks to be plenty durable for so minimal a shoe. Diehard minimalists and barefooters who occasionally need a bit of protection Adidas LA Trainer Homme Boutique will love this one!
Let¡¯s get down to the business at hand ¨C here are my top 3 cushioned, zero drop road shoes for 2012:When I think of the Altra Instinct 1.5, the two words that come to mind are flat and wide. Shaped like a Croc or Birkenstock, the Instinct is one of the most spacious shoes that I own. Version 1.5 sports a far more attractive upper than the original, and the full rubber outsole should provide ample durability. My only complaints about the Instinct are that it is a tad heavy and a bit inflexible, but for a flat shoe with a bit of cushion it¡¯s a great option. View my full Altra Instinct 1.5 review here.
This is one that I¡¯m really excited about ¨C the MR10v1 was a miss in my opinion, but version 2 is a complete re-design and looks great. Available early Spring, but you can watch a preview video at Running Warehouse.The MT10v2 is a update to a shoe that I liked a lot. Apparently they have fixed the tight forefoot band that I had to sever on the original, and the foam built into the upper of the new version should not act like a sponge like that in the upper of the v1 did. The MT10v2 is available in early Spring, but you can watch a preview video at Running Warehouse.
The post, published on the Kinetic Revolution website, describes why Griffiths thinks that ¡°the term ¡°overpronation¡± is neither accurate, descriptive nor meaningful, and should therefore be erased from modern day usage in both the lay and the medical communities.¡± Griffiths covers a lot of ground in his Vente Adidas Tech Super Homme article, pointing out such interesting tidbits as the fact that with regard to pronation:Across many studies, all of the data collected from pain free and injury free subjects and athletes shows that very few individuals actually meet the historical definition of ¡®normal¡¯.
One study examined 120 healthy individuals both non weight bearing and weight bearing. Not one subject conformed to the historical criteria of a ¡®normal¡¯ foot. Further searching through the literature shows that the majority of data collected from sampled populations suggests that the normal (average) foot position at rest Adidas ZX 700 Homme France is actually mildly to moderately pronated, as opposed to ¡®neutral¡¯.
