Each week, Endurance Magazine Online will feature a review of new shoes, currently available at many specialty retailers throughout the U.S. Nearly every model can be found at these specialty running stores, but more importantly, you'll find the people that know running and can help you find the shoe that will best meet your individual needs based on foot type, running style, mileage and where you like to run. Use this information as an appetizer, but for the main course, be sure and visit your local specialty running store since they are the ones that can truly satisfy your craving for the right shoes you can use.
This week, we feature the Karhu Strong Ride:
Support: Stability / Price: $140.00 / Weight: 10 oz. (women) & 11 oz. (men)
Dating back to 1916, Finalnd-based Karhu is now breaking into the North American market. The shoe is for the runner who requires additional support. The patented Fulcrum technology provides stability and allows the foot to smoothly follow its natural heel-to-toe gait cycle. The minimalist design and mesh upper is supportive and breathable.
"I love the way these shoes propel my body forward and enable a smooth stride with ever heel strike. The minimalist approach to appearance eliminates all of the flashy external features that usually dig into my feet at their flex points."
- Joe Nuss, Editor, Endurance Magazine.
