GoLite Jam Lite Recovery Shoe Review
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.

But they quickly suggested the Patagonia Pau and Patagonia Advocate Moc. And they were right as those two models are much more flexible, lighter, and more…
