Shoe Of The Week 5/25

Asics Gel Speedstar 3

Type: lightweight Neutral

Price: $84


This lightweight shoe is great for multiple purposes. Its great for a lightweight trainer for speed or as a racing flat for a marathon. It can also be a great full time trainer if your efficient enough. The Speedstar uses the Asics Speva foam, which is very soft and light, and does not use any gel because it would weigh down the shoe. The shoe fits like most Asics shoes, tight like a sock, and hugs the foot. Its very durrable and capable of a full 400 miles if you are efficient, 300 if you pound on it. I love this shoe and think its a great bargin.

Shoe of the Week 5/11

I wanted to start this to acknowledge shoes that I feel have exceeded my expectations in a running shoe.

For this week I choose the Brooks Infinity 2 as Shoe of the Week

Type: Light Stability

Cost: $124

The infinity goes over and beyond my expectations in a running shoe. It is considered apart of the guidance group of shoes. This means that it has a slight stability post under the arch, low enough to where a neutral runner can wear this shoe and be unaffected, and where a slight pronator can be made neutral. The shoe uses Brooks BIOMOGO technology which is a fully degradable and this shoes will turn to dirt after 20 years (50 times faster than regular shoes). But don't take this the wrong way. This shoe will get you a full 400 miles It has superior cushioning compared to any other shoe in its category. The fit of the shoe is as snug as a sock and is less abrasive to avoid any rubbing between the material and the skin.

I would have to rate the Brooks Infinity 2 a perfect 10
