Hoka 1.1

You may have seen these shoes on the trail or the road and thought “What in the world”? It’s a change in thinking on shoe design is what it is. Let’s go back in time when we skied on 210 straight skis, played tennis with a small wooden racket, hit off the golf tee with a small driver or mountain biked with wheels that were 26 inches. That type of out of the box thinking was what led the designers to build the Hoka 1.1 shoes. Stop in for a test run to see what they are all about.

Saucony Hattori

Saucony Hattori is providing the new generation of runners the innovation of lightweight shoes while at the same time not overlooking the need for style and fashion. Pegged as the “holy grail” of minimal running, the 4.4 oz running shoe boasts of the zero-heel to toe drop that can really provide those who are about to transition into barefoot running the perfect vehicle to start a healthy lifestyle on. This minimal shoe features a new take on the term “lacing up” because instead of the usual laces, two Velcro straps secure the foot to give you a more customized fit. With the midsole compressed and moulded EVA and the outsole carrying the patented, hard wearing carbon rubber compound, XT-900, the shoe withstands beautifully against wear and tear especially along the most prone areas. Again, not overlooking fashion, the upper is highly flexible and showcases overlays of suede with exoskeleton lockdowns and ultra-lite mesh that come in different color combination. All in all, you can be guaranteed that Saucony has given much thought on the Hattori shoe line. Come get yours while they last.

By now I’m sure you have heard or read all about the minimal movement in running shoes.  No matter your take, it is here to stay and many of the big brands are getting on board and coming out with shoes especially designed to get your foot close to the ground and to encourage a more mid-foot/forefoot strike.  New Balance has just came out with the Minimus program and if you are interested or already run in minimal shoes you need to come into the store and check them out.  They are very cool.  See you soon.
