Today we share an image gallery of various professional men during the marathon of the 2016 IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

Has the Vanquish 2 vanquished the Bondi? Yes. No. I don’t know. I’m conflicted. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.

8mm drop, BOA closure, and the best triathlon-specific shoe on the market in terms of comfort and cushioning.

A great, light shoe, probably only ideal for runners and triathletes who can get away with the bare minimum of support and cushioning.

I asked top ITU coach Jamie Turner (Gwen Jorgensen and others) what his racers use. I expected them all to be in the same lacing system, but, no.

At the 2015 accenture Ironman 70.3 California at Oceanside, David Jewell of ShoeRanger.com did an extensive running shoe count and shared it with slowtwitch.

Waiting for the Bondi 4 was like crossing a desert. My canteens were filled with the Bondi 2, bought at closeout. Is the Bondi 4 the oasis I hoped to find?

Very nice upper, even more impressive midsole. Many things right with this shoe, but, one fit issue disqualifies some customers for whom this shoe is otherwise ideal.

Newton has taken a step toward market trends, as shoe companies tend to do, but more importantly a step toward the best-in-market through improved processes and materials.

The Clifton is the highly anticipated sub-8oz shoe that still retains a lot of its height and plush. How did Hoka carve amost 4oz out of the Bondi, and at what cost?

The New Balance 890v4 was introduced at the end of 2013, but thanks to a new partnership with Team Garmin-Sharp now comes this very cool limited team edition.

We review the Paradigm, a shoe that takes Altra to new heights of cushioning. With a 34mm advertised stack and zero drop, could this fill a vacant slot in the shoe world?
