Zoot Kalani 2.0 (2012)

 When you see a heel loop, and a tongue loop, for fast and easy entering, the shoe was designed with triathletes in mind. The laces can be tightened in one pull. A lace lock and you're good to go.

Altra Instinct (2012)

 These shoes run great, but there's more to it. They felt so comfortable I started wearing them to my job in my running and triathlon store. I always get tired feet. But not in these.

Asics Excel33 (2012)

 Asics has labeled this shoe natural which, according to the orthodoxy of today, it is not. Nevertheless, a terrific shoe it is. Sail over the squabble between what is and isn't natural, here's a great lightweight trainer.

Pearl Izumi Kissaki (2012)

 This shoe has a 9mm ramp, and here is the strange thing. This is only 1mm of extra material in comparison to the Iso Transition, but it feels like there is about 4mm of extra material. This shoe is just that comfortable.
Running

Brooks Cadence (2012)

 This shoe is similar to the Brooks Flow: Natural running shoes with more cushioning. The difference? This shoe is made for the runner who needs a little more stability.
Running

Brooks Grit (2012)

 It's an off-road version and feels more like the Cadence, without the softer lateral side. What really makes this a trail shoe is its outsole design and an upper that is more durable.
Running

Brooks Connect (2012)

 This is the Pure Project model that comes closest to a minimalist shoe, but the sole is still too cushioned to fit squarely into the minimalist category. It's natural running with a bit more cushion.
Running

Brooks Flow (2012)

 The Flow has more midsole thickness than the Brooks Connect. Look at this if you like the idea of a lower ramp and a minimal shoe, but aren't quite ready for take the ultimate "natural" plunge.

Running

Newton MV2 (2012)

 The Newton MV2 is Newton's first zero-drop shoe. At 5.8oz it's a pure racer. It's a shoe for the select few, the most efficient among us. Even for Newton it's a departure from the norm.

Asics Gel Nimbus 13 (2012)

 This latest edition of the Gel Nimbus is moderately different than the two previous iterations, in fit, in flexibility, and in the ride. Do these changes make the shoe better or a worse than its predecessors?
