I’ve known the guys who started Altra Running for a long time. In fact, I had some conversations with one of the founders before they even launched their first shoe. One of the things they told me way back then was that they wanted to bring a wide, flat shoe for kids to the market. Well, it looks like the wait will soon be over – in July Altra will Adidas Superstar Womens be releasing the Instinct Junior in youth sizes 1-6 (perfect for my two older kids!).The Instinct Jr. will have a wide toebox as is typical of other Nike Air Max 1 Hombre Altra shoes, and it looks like it matches an Altra Instinct 1.5/Torin style upper with the more flexible sole of the Altra Superior.I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see more shoes like this coming out for children – my hope is that they sell well so we can get them in smaller sizes too. My 3yo has been wearing a pair of Merrell Flux Gloves for almost a year, and it’s a fantastic shoe, but it looks like it is no longer available. Here’s hoping Altra will come to the rescue!It’s been a long time since I’ve worn an Asics shoe. Back when I first started running I had a pair of the 2100 series that I liked, but since moving to more minimal footwear Asics has simply not had a lot to Adidas Superstar Womens offer a runner with my preferences aside from a few racing flats (e.g., Hyperspeed, Piranha).A bit over a year ago Asics introduced its “33” series, Nike Air Max Classic BW Womens presumably to compete with the lightweight, stripped down offerings from competitors like Brooks (PureProject) and Saucony (Kinvara/Mirage/Cortana). Most of the shoes in the 33 series represented a fairly mild departure from more traditional running shoes, and only one caught my eye as something that might appeal to me as a minimally-oriented runner – the Gel Lyte 33.Over the past year I’ve heard good things about the original Asics Gel Lyte33. In his 2012 Shoe Award post, John Schrup over at Rogue Rundown labeled it as the “Best Shoe That’s Aaaalllmost Nike Air Max 90 Mujer there…”, but he complained about the upper and narrow fit. I respect John’s opinion on shoes since we seem to have similar taste, so I took Adidas Superstar Womens a pass on the original Lyte33. In his review of the original, John commented that the upper and fit were supposedly being addressed in version 2, so Nike Air Max 2017 Mujer when I was offered the opportunity to test them out I agreed (Disclosure: the shoes reviewed here are media samples provided free-of-charge by the manufacturer). Turns out the new version is a complete makeover, and you can find a rundown on the updates from the folks at Rogue as well.I’ve now put over 40 miles on the Gel Lyte 33 v2’s, including multiple double-digit long runs (max of 16 miles in one run), and I have to say that I really like the shoe.Based on my preferences, I would classify the Lyte33 as an easy run/long distance shoe. It’s Nike Air Max 90 Womens lightweight but not skimpy (mine weight 9 oz in a size 10.5), it’s well cushioned (Running Warehouse reports stack height at 24mm heel, 17mm Nike Air Max 90 Hombre forefoot), and it fits very comfortably on my feet. In fact, “comfortable” is probably the best single word I could use to describe the shoe – this is not a shoe that I think of as being “fast” or “responsive.” It’s not a shoe I would wear for my next 5k, or even in a half marathon. It’s a shoe for wearing when you want a soft, plush feeling underfoot. |
