Running & Walking Shoe Types: Neutral vs ...

In today’s rapidly changing running shoe market, brands are constantly finding ways to market themselves as having the latest and greatest shoes for your feet. While major running shoe brands like New Balance, Nike, Brooks, Hoka One One, Saucony, ON Running, Mizuno and Asics (among others) do all produce some excellent shoes, we really encourage potential buyers to ignore the marketing hype and let the fit and performance of the shoe be the deciding factor. In the end, each brand is producing a set of very similar products for different user and foot-types, it’s up to the buyer to find the shoe that most suits their unique shape, support and performance needs!

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be releasing a guide on each of the major running shoe categories. This will include what to look for, which specific models compete with each other, why they’re different and what you should consider before pulling the trigger on a new pair!

Brooks is showing love to our planet, so ...

We need not waste time on explaining the importance of supporting and selling brands that are actively implementing measures to lower their impact on the global environment. It's 2020 and it's time for companies, running brands included, to step up to the plate and find solutions to lower emissions, waste and animal-harming practices. We constantly see brands who are making promises, announcing plans, and promoting a small portion of their line as "sustainable". All the while, at their headquarters (the second most sustainable head quarters in North America for anycompany) in Seattle, Brooks as acted fast and effectively.
