Let’s talk a bit about Brooks as a running shoe brand. Known for their consistent quality, Brooks has built a reputation as a reliable choice for runners. They’ve been one of the more consistent brands out there, delivering shoes that runners can trust to perform. They generally stick with what works (not always a bad thing). Though there are TONS of great and beautiful Limited-Editions – like their holiday and Run Proud options – they…

Today, let’s dive into the Men’s Trabuco Max 2, a trail shoe that has been making some waves. See All our Posts on Asics Here! Looks: First off, in terms of looks, the Trabuco Max 2 is really second to none – if you like vibrancy.…
We have been reviewing Janji items for a while now and they continue to impress us with their style and functionality. On top of that, we also love their take on the running world – that it’s a universal connector of people and that their apparel should strive to express that. Now, their latest collaboration with La Sportiva – the Door to World Collection – is pretty on brand. Both of these running (and beyond) companies…
Janji, as a company, stands out in the realm of athletic apparel for their commitment to quality and style. Their new Multipass Sling Bag, which sold out pretty immediately when it was first launched in 2019, is designed with the modern traveler and urban explorer in mind. It’s a versatile companion for those who seek both style and substance in their everyday adventures. The concept behind the Multipass Sling Bag is simple at it’s core,…
X-SCAPE BAJA = LAND X WATER X SNEAKER Imagine for a moment that in the shoe world, Hoka and Crocs had a baby. You’d get the cross-comfort of a high-quality running/walking shoe mixed with a summer sandal/waterproof water shoe. Or, more specifically, you’d get the X-Scape Baja, made by Deckers X Lab. See all our posts on Deckers here! Looks: I received the X-Scape Baja in a bright white color. These shoes look like nothing I…
Over the past few years, my kids continually see boxes of running shoes adorning our patio on a relatively frequent basis. It is a perk of owning a running blog I suppose. They get a little jealous, but I tell them they can focus on their literature skills and then come write for me and perhaps get some shoes of their own (ha!). However, it is officially back-to-school time and thus, three growing girls need…
The Timberland Greenstride Motion 6 Waterproof Mid Hikers are an exceptional choice for both city dwellers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Priced at $150 for women’s and $160 for men’s, these hiking shoes offer a fantastic blend of style, performance, and eco-conscious construction. Looks: When it comes to looks, the Greenstride Motion 6 Hiking Boots undoubtedly deliver. Both the men’s and women’s versions have their unique charm and stand out in their own way. The men’s…
Back when I started running seriously twelve years ago, I used to run in cross training shoes. They were fine, but once I switched to proper running shoes, I realized what I had been missing all along. TYR has been making waves in the cross training scene for a while, and I’d seen their logo in the swimming world. But in 2022, they really caught my attention when six of the top 10 CrossFit finishers…
Salomon has some experience when it comes to gear for the outdoors. Running, hiking, skiing, snowboarding – all covered and all quality. To this day, their hydration vests are some of my very favorites for long trail runs. So I was really stoked to get the opportunity to test out their new Aero Glide shoes, which are a great option for an everyday road shoe. They look super cushy (which sometimes equates to heavy,) but…
