Shoe Reviews

Before being contacted by Under Armour I had never worn or touched an UA product. I knew they made shoes, but I figured they weren’t any good. Then when Luke Mathews signed with the Baltimore-based brand, I figured ok, maybe they are worth a shot. Good on them at least for supporting one of our best middle-distance runners.

This next instalment of the Pegasus, Nike’s bestselling running shoe, sees an update to the upper that improve comfort and fit, a slimmer design in the heel collar and tongue reduce bulk for a more conforming fit, along with added perforations on the upper enhance breathability in the forefoot and arch for additional cooling. Also, a new stand out with an engineered mesh upper strategically targeting breathability across high-heat areas.

When most people think of HOKA they think of a maximalist type running shoe with loads of cushion. This is only partly true, there are many misconceptions. Hoka’s Clifton 6 is a high mileage neutral training shoe with ample soft cushioning. Not designed for speed, but for long distances or easy runs. The Clifton 6 is very reminiscent of the very popular Clifton 1, the midsole foam is very similar with a softness to it rarely seen in a running shoe. It is vastly different to the HOKA 4 and 5 which had harder foams and a narrower mould. With the Clifton 6 you get the feeling that Hoka listened to its customers and brought the Clifton series back to its origins – a nice, soft, lightweight, cushioned ride.
