Fit for the road

Salomon XT Wings Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Salomon XT Wings Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 5, 2008

I ran the San Francisco Marathon yesterday wearing the XT Wings. I had my doubts at first when a small but painful blister formed during an 18 mile combination road and trail training run. One thing I need to point out here is that the 18 miler was also the first time I wore the shoes so a break-in period may have helped with the blister problem. Anyway, as soon as I switched to a slightly thicker socks (Smartwool Adrenalines), all my foot problems went away. The shoes exceeded my expectations during the marathon. It provided adequate traction and support throughout the race, especially over the Golden Gate bridge which was noticeably slippery last year while wearing my Asics Kayanos. It provided a comfortable ride and the laces remained snug and held in place. But my most important criteria in judging a running shoe is how I feel after the race. Absolutely no pain or discomfort. What more can you ask from a running shoe? The only thing I have against this shoe is its weight. It is a bit lighter than my Asics Kayanos but heavier than my most favorite trail-only running shoe... the Salomon Speedcross 2.

Ultimate running shorts

Patagonia Ultra Shorts - Men's

Patagonia Ultra Shorts - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

These are, hands down, the best running shorts I have ever worn during training runs and on race days. In fact, these are now the only shorts I run in. Lots of useful pockets. The rear pockets have mini dividers that help keep the gels or keys from moving around.
