My favorite shoe of the first quarter of 2023 was an unexpected one – the 361° Centauri (review here). I still wear this shoe with great frequency – and it was my first experience with this shoe company. It’s super comfortable and supportive and just checks all the boxes of what a daily trainer should be. So, when I heard that the new 361 Futura (releasing 7/1/23) was the trail version of the Centauri –…
I review a lot of items at Run Oregon. One of the perks we get is getting our hands on the best running gear. Its always nice to keep the running closet stocked with the latest and greatest items. I thought I would highlight my favorite gear from January – March 2023. These are NOT the release date of the items – solely the timeframe that my review went live. I’d also note that it’s…

I’m a casual 2-3x a week runner, typically staying in single digit miles. I ordered my typical size up for running shoes, (that’s 7.5 for me,) and gave the 361 Spire 5 a try over track & road runs.
