Just In: Really Fast Shoes

2009-08-04T14:31:00.003-05:00

Our fall stock is starting to arrive, and we just got some really slick speedsters from Brooks; the Racer ST 4 competition shoe, the Launch flat/trainer hybrid, and the Mach 11 XC spike.

"The Racer ST 4 has enough substance to conquer the marathon but light enough for the 5K. The light weight racing flat will help you shave seconds or even minutes off your time while the DRB will provide you the support needed to break the tape feeling strong. Weight: 8.6 oz."

"With an incredibly flexible outsole and seamless transition, this lightweight neutral trainer will get you from start to finish, whether for a tempo run or in a race. Add to that the lower-profile midsole and minimal upper, and it's 3, 2, 1 . . . blast off! Weight: 9.3 oz."

"You do the training, we’ll provide the kicks. The Mach 11 answers the bell when it comes to true performance in an XC racing shoe. Race confidently knowing you can count on these spikes to go up, over, and around whatever the course throws at you. Now if only you could nail down the perfect pre-race meal. Weight: 7.7 oz."
