Comparing the Top Running Shoe Foams: Which Are the Best?
Arguably the most important component of a running shoe is the midsole foam. No one cares about the outsole, upper, and especially not the asinine heel pull tab. I ask yet again: how difficult is it to put on and take off a pair of running shoes? So, how can you choose the best running shoe foams to match your picky preferences? Beats me. However, if you’re looking for descriptions of why the name of every midsole foam is silly, you’ve come to the right place.
New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 Review: Rebel With a Cause
Either running shoes have improved dramatically over the past few years or my continued growth as a runner has enabled me to enjoy running in more shoes than in the past. [Insert the “why not both” meme] The two statements aren’t mutually exclusive; both are true.
Case in point: The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v3 was one of my least favorite running shoes in recent memory.

The Running Event: How to Start a Running Shoe Company
Working in the running industry can be brutal. It’s tough to compete with big running brands like HOKA, ASICS, Adidas, and Saucony, to name a few. Fed up with not receiving nearly as much booth traffic at The Running Event as any running shoe company, one nutrition company held a brainstorming meeting on how they can attract more people to their booth next year.
