IMG_4032One other thing Nike Air Huarache Men to note ¨C one of the outsole pods under the outer forefoot is beginning to delaminate on one of my shoes (see photo at left). Nothing a bit of glue couldn¡¯t take care of, but does add to my suspicion that something might be off with the sole of my pair.

The Zante is the third addition to the Fresh Foam collection (the FF Trail was released earlier this year). The Zante isn¡¯t actually going to be available widely until next year (now available at Running Warehouse), but they released a special edition version of the shoe for the NYC Marathon. I purchased a pair and have put enough miles on them now to share some thoughts.

If you have a narrowish foot and like a firm and responsive shoe, the New Balance Fresh Foam 980 is definitely worth a try.The New Balance Fresh Foam 980 is available for purchase (MSRP $110) at your local running store, or on-line at Running Warehouse, Zappos, and Amazon.com. Outside of the US they are available at Sport Chek (Canada) and Wiggle.co.uk (UK and Europe). Disclosure: Runblogger.com receives a small commission from purchases made via these retailers ¨C your support is very much appreciated!Lately, two shoes in particular have hit the streets and have garnered rave reviews from shoe junkies. These are the Saucony Kinvara and the Nik Nike Air Max 2015 Women uk sale e Free Run+, and I originally did not intend to buy either of them. However, both have apparently been huge sellers, and numerous friends have provided glowing reviews of each (I have now posted my own Nike Free Run+ review.). In particular, more of my on-line friends than I can count have jumped on the Saucony Kinvara bandwagon, and it has become the shoe of choice for many looking to move towards less shoe. Quite frankly, I suspect that the Kinvara may have become one of those very gateway shoes discussed above that causes runners slide down the slippery slope toward minimalism. Given the hype, I had to try the Kinvara for myself (this was a personal purchase, not a sample shoe), and having put in nearly 60 miles in them, including an 18 miler and some speed workouts, I feel ready to share my opinion.

New Balance Fresh Foam Zante My first run in the Zante was on a very cold day, and I felt that the sole was very firm, much like that of the 980. After running in them in a variety of temperatures for the following several weeks I¡¯ve come to think that the Zante is a tad softer than the 980, moreso under the heel (as with most shoes, the sole feels firmer in the cold). The midfoot through forefoot are firm and responsive, and unless you are a heavy heel striker that¡¯s probably how you¡¯ll describe the Zante experience. However, when forcing a harder heel strike (I¡¯m a light heel striker) I was better able to feel the softness of the heel and the smooth transition from heel to forefoot. I think the Zante will appeal to both types of runners, and it¡¯s interesting how different the ride feels depending on how you contact.

Fit and Feel: As mentioned above, the Kinvara has a minimal, sock-like upper and fits very comfortably on my foot ¨C perfect for a lightweight shoe (the Kinvara weighs only 7.7 oz in men¡¯s size 9). It is neither too wide nor too narrow (results may vary depending on foot size), and run Nike Air Max 2015 Men sale s true to size for me. While I would prefer a more anatomically shaped last that is shaped more like my foot (check out the exciting shoe line coming from Altra Running to see what I mean by this), the Kinvara is more comfortable than many other shoes I own due to the minimal upper.

2. Outsole is made out of something called ¡°0.44 Sticky Rubber¡± ¨C not sure what that is, but there is a decent yet not conspicuous tread (see picture below) and it seems like it¡¯ll be durable (thoug Nike Air Max 90 Camouflage Women h I have no reason to be sure of that yet).
