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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Here is a closer look at the top 15 men at the Ironman World Championships aboard their bikes. Want to know what they were using in terms of frames and components? Look no further.
We present the top 15 female Ironman World Championship finishers on the bike and look closer at their gear. Fastest bike split this year belonged again to Karin Thuerig who cranked out a course record 4:44:20.
We again present the top male 15 athletes overall finishers during the run and talk about their running shoes. Fastest runner again was Aussie Pete Jacobs who managed a marathon time of 2:42:29 and finished in 2nd place.
It is again time for our annual top 15 Ironman Hawaii features and we start this year with the top 15 female finishers during the run in Kona. The fastest run split of the day belonged to Mirinda Carfrae who clocked a course record 2:52:09.
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.
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?
Here in Kona we had a chance to look a bit closer at the Cannondale Slice RS of Michael Weiss. The bike is actually still a prototype but we can expect to see a very fast split on it.
Specialized unveiled the highly anticipated Shiv Tri bike in Kona, Hawaii yesterday. This new bike sits alongside the Shiv TT and will make a lot of sense for most triathletes.
