Running Shoe Reviews

Our wide range can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for. Following are some reviews of some of our running products, but nothing can replace the personal service we offer in our shops.

Review: Adidas Kanadia Trail 4

“I had total confidence in my stride, the cushioning wasn’t so good as to take away that feeling of contact with the ground, and on sharp inclines consisting of boggy, wet grass, the grip was sufficient and ankles secure. Adidas have been championing their mud-release outersole design for years and it works.” – Shankara Smith

Review: Hoka OneOne Mafate

When we first saw the Hoka running shoes we were a little taken aback. Many people are turning towards more minimal running shoes, but these have an extra centimetre of cushioning. Adrian Tarit Stott gives them a go, to see what they're really like.

Review: Hoka OneOne Running Shoes

“Run uphill as though wings are carrying you, fly down and still want to keep on going and going, all in one smooth, instinctive action...” Two years ago, the dream envisaged by two outdoor lovers and adventure racing enthusiasts became a reality.

Review: Salomon Speedcross 3

“The Salomon Speedcross is a fairly low profile dedicated trail shoe, with what I considered enough grip to keep me upright on steep and muddy trails but also some cushioning to cope with harder packed firm based trails like forestry tracks or the firmer paths of our local Pentland Hills just outside Edinburgh where I run regularly.” – Adrian Tarit Stott

Introducing Barefoot Running Shoes

When Run and Become first opened in 1982 running shoes weren’t much different to the likes of Inov-8's Road-X range; mildly cushioned, fairly light shoes. Gel and Air were terms for the future. Since then running shoes have gone through huge development, so has the running population.

Review: Barefoot Running and the Nike Free

With barefoot running creating such a stir and with so many different styles on the market, where to begin? The shoe that has held its own for some time now is the Nike Free. Not much importance was given to this shoe when it first came onto the market, but as a transition shoe before going to barefoot, it is perfect: light, minimal and very flexible.
