GoLite Jam Lite Recovery Shoe Review

Posted on March 25, 2011March 25, 2011

What recovery shoes do you wear after running? Most of the time, I can wear my STEM Primal Origins or New Balance Minimus Wellness if I’m not testing a pair of new running shoes.

Newton Running Women’s Distancia Review

Posted on March 14, 2011March 15, 2011

When I had my women wear testers review minimalist running shoes, both of them were still in the early transitioning stages.
