I get to try my very first Adidas trail shoe in the Adidas Terrex Swift R. What makes the Terrex Swift R so interesting to me is that they’re actually designed to be used as a hiking shoe. Almost every other shoe I use is billed as a trail runner. Here is my review.
If you loved the Wildhorse 3, you’re going to love the Wildhorse 4 even more. The midsole and outsole remain unchanged, with the only real updates coming to the upper. The upper updates are major though, and in my opinion, very positive. I’ll cover all this and more in the preview below.
The Akyra blends a few elements from the Akasha and Ultra Raptor, but stands on it’s own as a unique performer in the lineup. I know this is billed as a trail running shoe, but few times have I worn a trail runner that felt this much like a designated hiking shoe. In this preview, I’m going to cover the Akyra from top to bottom, and provide my initial impressions.
I’ve used the Exos 48 on countless backpacking trips and day hikes over the past few years, and have started to use the Exos 58 a little more now that I have to pack for my infant son as well. In this post you will find my review of these packs based on 3 years of intensive experience.
The Rokinon 12mm is a phenomenal wide angle option for Sony mirrorless e-mount cameras. See my review of the Rokinon 12mm for travel and hiking.
The previous XA Pro 3D was one of the first reviews I wrote for this blog when it launched back in 2014. You can see how far I’ve come by taking a look at that review. For those unfamiliar with the XA Pro 3D, this shoe is essentially a lightweight low-cut boot that can handle anything you throw at it. Here is my preview.
The Sense Ultra is a new SLAB trail shoe from Salomon that packs the cushion and protection needed to go the distance. Here is my preview.
The La Sportiva Akasha is a high cushion trail shoe that provides amazing grip and traction. In this review I will cover my thoughts on the upper, midsole, outsole, and overall performance.
2017 is shaping up to be another great year for new trail shoes. With entries from top brands like Salomon, La Sportiva, Altra, Scarpa, and Brooks, my review closet is sure to be full. Here are my top 15 picks!
One of the first questions I asked when I found out I was going to be a father, was “How am I going to hike?”. After doing some research, Julia came across the Ergobaby carrier, which was well reviewed and one of the most popular baby carriers on the market. There are a few models of the Ergobaby carrier for sale, and today I’ll be focusing on the Original, with a review of the Performance in the future.
