Nike Free 5.0 Trail Review

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Nike Free 5.0 Trail

The Nike Free 5.0 Trail Running Shoe is a great improvement on the already-comfy Free 5.0. The extreme flexibility from the grooved sole allows your foot to move as it wishes, not how the shoe wishes. Yet the insole provides arch support and the shoe provides enough cushioning to make every walk or run a joy. The shoes come with a recommended training schedule to slowly build your time in them, as your feet and body adjust to the extreme freedom.

Buy Nike Shoes

Pros
  • Extreme flexibility mimics running barefoot
  • Comfortable upper highly ventilated
  • Retrains muscles and strengthens your feet
  • Sole with good traction for the trail
  • More cushioned than the Nike Free 5.0
Cons
  • Does not come in widths

Description

  • Designed to imitate running barefoot, with extreme flexibility in the sole and upper.
  • Comes with a training program to build up time in the shoe as your foot adjusts.
  • Supposedly trains intrinsic muscles, strengthening your foot and giving you more natural stability
  • Good sole protection on pavement or small gravel surfaces.
  • Meant for shorter runs of 3-6 miles.
  • Slips on and off, plus laces for better fit.

Guide Review - Nike Free 5.0 Trail Running Shoe

I loved the comfort of the Nike Free 5.0 shoes, but they lacked cushioning for walking more than a few blocks. The 5.0 Trail Shoe has much more cushioning and are a pleasure to walk in.Fit
I have avoided Nike for years because their narrow toe box and lack of widths made them unwearable for me. The men’s sizes of the 5.0 Trail shoe are wide enough for me.

Flexibility
The Nike Free 5.0 imitates being barefoot. The trail version has fewer grooves for flexibility than the 5.0, but is still extremely flexible. It comes with a schedule to build up your time in the shoe as your body gets used to the extreme flexibility. Walkers more than runners need a flexible shoe to allow the foot to roll through a step.

Upper
The upper is comfortable, suede-like, and designed to move with the foot. The shoe feels great, they are now my preferred shoe for wearing all day long. Most important for me, it doesn’t irritate my bunion. The trail version lacks the netting at the back of the heel that everybody rips with the 5.0, a big improvement. However, I’d be reluctant to take these suede shoes out on an actual trail, I would think they would rip easily and pick up debris.

Fast
You can get a great heel plant and roll-through for a fast walking stride. These shoes make my feet want to zoom.

Verdict
These are my new favorite in my daily shoe wardrobe, great for walks and runs of 30-60 minutes to start, comfortable around the office, school, or home.

How long do running shoes last? Running shoe replacement tips

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Running in old or worn out shoes can lead to an increase in running injuries. Over time running shoes lose stability and shock absorption capacity. When this happens the stress to the feet and legs increases dramatically. Over time such added stress can lead to an overuse injury. A simple prevention strategy includes replacing running shoes when they wear out.

Buy Running Shoes
The midsole layer of a shoe provides the cushioning and stability. This area usually wears out before the outsole shows major signs of wear. When a midsole wears out the shoe looses functional stability. It is this loss of stability and cushioning that leads to increased stress and increased injury risk.

It is recommended that you replace running shoes between 350-550 miles depending on your running style, body weight, and the surface on which you run.

Lighter runners can get closer to the upper end of the recommendation while heavier runners are harder on shoes and should consider replacement shoes closer to 350 miles.

Running Shoe Replacement Tips

  • Track your mileage. After 350-550 miles it’s time for a new pair. For runners who log 25 miles per week replace your shoes every three to four months.
  • You can check for signs of wear on the sole by placing your old shoes on a table and looking at them from behind. If the soles are worn and leaning to one side, the midsole cushioning is probably worn as well.

Spotting Midsole Wear
A shoe’s midsole cushioning may be worn out long before the tread shows signs of wear. Because the bottom and tread of the shoe may look fine, identifying when the cushioning is shot isn’t easy to do. Here are some tips for identifying midsole wear:

  • First, pay attention to how you feel. As your shoes begin to give out, you may begin to get some aches or pains in your bones and joints. You may also notice slight muscle fatigue, new tightness, or possible shin splints.
  • Look for creasing of the midsole material in areas of high load (under the heel or the ball of the foot). A worn out midsole will have wrinkles and creases there.
  • Try to twist the shoe. A worn out midsole will allow the shoe to twist more easily than a new shoe.
  • Try on a new pair of the model that you are currently wearing. Compare this to your current shoes. If the cushioning in your shoes feels dead in comparison, it probably is.

Consider Rotating Shoes
If you run frequently it’s a good idea to have more than one pair of shoes. Think about buying two pair at a time (or buying a second pair about midway through the life of your first). Add the new pair in to your shoe rotation when your “old” shoes have about 200 miles on them. If you use two pairs of shoes you should still track mileage per shoe, and replace each after it has 350-550 miles on it.

Reebok Freestyle Forever

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

An iconic “must-have” of the 1980’s pop culture scene, the Reebok Freestyle will forever go down in history as the athletic shoe that changed the face of women’s fitness. Twenty-five years later, the Reebok Freestyle remains one of the best selling shoes of all time. To commemorate the 25th anniversary, Reebok kicks off “Freestyle Forever,” an exclusive event to launch the new 25th Anniversary Freestyle Collection and to celebrate the brightest moments in Freestyle history, both then and now.

Buy Reebok shoes

“Reebok is passionate about debuting the 25th Anniversary Freestyle Collection because the shoe represents our history as the brand that pioneered the women’s fitness movement and started the high-top fashion trend,” said Reebok’s Chief Marketing Officer, Uli Becker. “Today, fashion is about freedom of expression and keeping it real. Back in the ‘80s, the Freestyle was worn by women who wanted to make a statement about their authenticity and individuality, and that still holds true today.”

Reebok Classic Leather  A traditional garment leather upper.

One of the first athletic shoes created especially for women, the original Reebok Freestyle symbolized female empowerment. After revolutionizing the industry and igniting the women’s aerobics dance craze in 1982, the Freestyle made up more than half of the sales for Reebok in 1984. In 1986, Reebok launched the ad campaign “Life Is Not a Spectator Sport.” Highlighting the Freestyle, the campaign encouraged women to become active participants in the world of fitness. This message strongly resonated and gained an astounding following of trendy young female consumers of the time.

Today, the Reebok Freestyle is worn by female fashion leaders around the world, from the bustling city streets to suburban high schools. With the ‘80s style continuing to surge ahead, the milestone anniversary Freestyle collection is perfectly on trend for today’s global fashionista.
