Salomon XT Wings 2 S-Lab | Posted by Sally Heath on Aug 26, 2010

Salomon XT Wings 2 S-Lab
Fellow RF’er Harper Forbes has recently posted a review of these shoes, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to echo many of his sentiments about this awesome new shoe in the Salomon 2010 line-up.
Like many adventure racers, I’ve been loyal to the Salomon brand as my first choice in […]

Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6 & Elixir 5 | Posted by Roger Hospedales on Aug 23, 2010

So why review the Mizuno Nirvana 6 and the Elixir 5 at the same time? The answer is simple; they both nicely complement each other. One can be used for your regular training runs (racing too of course), and the other for racing or speedier workouts.
If you […]

Salomon S-LAB2 XT Wings | Posted by Harper Forbes on Aug 19, 2010

In the spring of 2010, I was in my local Milton Running Free store looking to grab another pair of my usual trail runners in the Salomon XT Wings.  I’ve been wearing Salomon’s since I noticed their high profile in adventure racing about 8 years ago - the days of the flashy blue and yellow […]

Mizuno Wave Precision 10 - Nice, Light & Comfy | Posted by Mike Bosch on Jul 28, 2010

Well let’s face it many runners like to have a light shoe for some faster speed sessions or for those who require a bit more shoe, as a race day shoe.
I’ve had the opportunity to wear the Mizuno Wave Precision 10 for a little over a month now and really like them a lot. As […]

Mizuno Wave Elixir 5 | Posted by Jessica Shaw on Jun 29, 2010

I’ve tried various models made by Mizuno and I’ve been really impressed. The overall sock like feel and light weight shoe make long runs feel effortless! After testing out the Mizuno Wave Elixir 5 at an astounding 7.7 oz for women and 9.4 oz for men  it became one of my favorite models yet!
The Wave […]

Wave Ascend 4 | Posted by Jessica Shaw on Jun 17, 2010

As the summer months approach I’ve been spending a lot of time in the trails. After training in the Wave Rider 12’s for my spring marathon season i was hooked to the brand. After searching trying on various trail shoes i tried out the Wave Ascend 4 and instantly fell in love with the shoe! […]

Mizuno Wave Musha 2 and Wave Rider 13 | Posted by Daniel Mackinnon on Jun 13, 2010

I first must begin this review with an apology to Arnold at Mizuno who graciously provided a test pair of the Mushas asking only that I write a fair and honest review about them. That was the beginning of April and I had planned to race both the Markham Legacy and Sporting Life races to […]

Newton Motion All Weather | Posted by Phaedra Kennedy on Jun 10, 2010

I was so excited to hear that Running Free was going to be carrying these shoes as I had read so many good things about them and was dying to give them a try.  Luckily for me, my awesome husband had paid attention to all my obsessing and bought me a pair of the Newton […]

Mizuno Wave Rider 13 - This 13 is Lucky for Sure!! | Posted by Mike Bosch on May 24, 2010

Everyone needs a little tenderness sometimes, and runners are no exception to this. Especially on those long runs, during those long training weeks and most importantly the day after a particularly hard training session when the tootsies are a little extra tender. The latter was my main reason for getting a pair as the cushioning […]

Mizuno Wave Elixir 5 - Lightweight, Stable & Flashy Looking!! | Posted by Mike Bosch on May 24, 2010

Looking for a lighter shoe for speedwork days or maybe a light race day shoe that will give more cushioning and support than a racing flat? Well look no further as Mizuno has the Elixir 5 waiting at Running Free for you to buy right now.
As a race day shoe it has just the right amount […]

Mizuno Wave Rider 13 | Posted by Jessica Shaw on Apr 27, 2010

Throughout my years of training, I’ve searched for a lightweight running shoe that could be used for tempo run’s or even intervals without using track spikes or my racing flats. After using Mizuno’s Wave Rider 13 i was hooked! At a weight of 8.6 oz the shoe is a flexible and lightweight trainer for runners […]

Brooks Adrenaline 9 | Posted by Kalon on Apr 1, 2010

This is the 6th time I have purchased this shoe which shows how much  I like it.  It is a fairly inexpensive shoe that has a lot of the technology that is used in much more expensive shoes.  The fit is amazing for me with a snug heal and midfoot and a fairly roomy toebox that […]

Updated - Mizuno Wave Ronin2 Racing Flat | Posted by Mike Bosch on Mar 29, 2010

At 7.5 ounces a pair the Wave Ronin2 is a really fast racing flat. It is a neutral shoe so you do need to be a pretty efficient runner to wear them but don’t worry if you’re not. You can always get a pair of the Wave Musha as it is designed with some stability properties to it […]

Saucony Progrid Razor | Posted by Mark Gilbert on Mar 24, 2010

Ok, to cut to the chase, these shoes saved my ”butt “ this winter. I am 10 days away from Marathon des Sables and without them would not have been able to train effectively for the last five months. I can’t handle a treadmill I needed a shoe that could get me through one of […]

Newton Sir Isaac | Posted by Brandon Habermehl on Feb 26, 2010

I was thrilled to learn last year that Running Free would be carrying shoes from Newton Running. For those unfamiliar with the company, Newton have developed a line of lightw
eight shoes that cater to the natural (barefoot) style of running, aiding in faster speeds at less effort and reducing chance of injury. […]

| Posted by James Galipeau on Jan 3, 2010

The Brooks Cascadia came as a highly recommended shoe among many of my adventure racing friends. I’d been eyeing them for a while and when it was time for a new pair of shoes, I decided to try a pair. To my surprise they were quite comfortable right out of the box. My first […]

Brooks Glycerin 7 Shoe Review | Posted by David Topping on Jan 2, 2010

I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin running shoes for years now and, while I have tried on other shoes at various times over the years, I always leave Running Free with a pair of Glycerins. There’s a good reason for this.
If you check out the Brooks website (www.brooksrunning.ca), you’ll learn that the Glycerin (now on […]

Brooks Cascadia 4 | Posted by James Galipeau on Dec 31, 2009

The Brooks Cascadia came as a highly recommended shoe among many of my adventure racing friends. I’d been eyeing them for a while and when it was time for a new pair of shoes, I decided to try a pair. To my surprise they were quite comfortable right out of the box. Even my first […]

BROOKS Women’s Trance 7 Road Running Shoes – My Sole Mates | Posted by Kimberly Mungal on Dec 15, 2009

I used to keep my running shoes separate from every other pair of shoes that I wore. They were on a pedestal only to be used for my runs. When I discussed appropriate footwear with my favorite shoe expert at RunningFree for any upcoming family trip to New York City, I was raring […]

Salomon Hawk Review | Posted by Adam Hill on Dec 14, 2009

Due to a wonderful November and beginning of December I have had a great opportunity to log some substantial miles in some Salomon XT Hawk’s.  This should be my “off season” but with near perfect weather for the last 6 weeks it has been hard to resists some late fall trail running […]
