- [Saucony Triumph ISO 4](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-triumph-iso-4/) - Memo to triathletes: Saucony makes more than the Kinvara. If HOKA is a great idea but a bridge too far for you, consider this shoe.
- [361° Running Sensation 2](https://slowtwitch.com/running/361-running-sensation-2/) - It's like the Asics GT2000. But more cushioned, more springy, and much more flexible in the forefoot.
- [Nike Zoom Fly](https://slowtwitch.com/running/nike-zoom-fly/) - Why is this shoe fast for me? I can only say that it works, but not for certain why it works.
- [Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4%](https://slowtwitch.com/running/nike-zoom-vaporfly-4/) - The Vaporfly 4% is the hard-to-get, expensive, much lighter brother of the Zoom Fly. Is this shoe better than the Zoom Fly? Nope.
- [Newton Distance Elite](https://slowtwitch.com/running/newton-distance-elite/) - A great, light shoe, probably only ideal for runners and triathletes who can get away with the bare minimum of support and cushioning.
- [Zoot Ali'i 14](https://slowtwitch.com/running/zoot-alii-14/) - 8mm drop, BOA closure, and the best triathlon-specific shoe on the market in terms of comfort and cushioning.
- [Saucony Freedom ISO](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-freedom-iso/) - Saucony built, probably unintentionally, a near-perfect triathlon shoe for neutral runners. Add heel and and tongue loops and you’re there.
- [Zoot Solana](https://slowtwitch.com/running/zoot-solana/) - Very nice upper, even more impressive midsole. Many things right with this shoe, but, one fit issue disqualifies some customers for whom this shoe is otherwise ideal.
- [Lake CX402](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/lake-cx402/) - This review was almost a year in the making, but for a shoe of this price I thought it prudent to make sure it would stand up to everything I could throw at it.
- [Stinson versus Bondi](https://slowtwitch.com/running/stinson-versus-bondi/) - Triathletes discovered Hokas, but are still wondering: Bondi or Stinson? Here's a comparison of the two.
- [Newton 5th lug](https://slowtwitch.com/running/newton-5th-lug/) - Now your 5 metatarsals do not have to fight over Newton's lugs. Its new shoes provide a lug for every toe. But this is not the only difference between its 4- and 5-lug versions.
- [Newton Fate and Kismet](https://slowtwitch.com/running/newton-fate-and-kismet/) - Newton has taken a step toward market trends, as shoe companies tend to do, but more importantly a step toward the best-in-market through improved processes and materials.
- [New Shoes from Pearl](https://slowtwitch.com/running/new-shoes-from-pearl/) - After the big success of the Iso Transition, Pearl Izumi's previous triathlon-specific race shoe, could Pearl make that shoe even better? Here's a look at the EM TriN1 and EM TriN2.
- [Saucony Cortana 3](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-cortana-3/) - This Saucony under-reported-on shoe is like a Kinvara on steroids. It’s the same 4mm drop, but with much more cushioning. Meet the Cortana 3.
- [Saucony Mirage 3 (2013)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-mirage-3-2013/) - With this update to the Mirage 3, Saucony brings to market a nice new shoe. New due to significant, and positive, changes, which will open up this shoe to a larger segment of the market.
- [ASICS Gel Lyte 33 (2013)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/asics-gel-lyte-33-2013/) - The second edition is, on my feet, more comfortable than its original version. If you want a lightweight shoe, but you don't want ultra low-drop, this shoe could be the one.
- [Bontrager RXL Hilo 2012](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/bontrager-rxl-hilo-2012/) - The new Hilo is a completely different shoe than the old. Almost everything they could change or update they did. I like it when a company learns from its shortcomings and Bontrager did.
- [Nike Flyknit Trainer (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/nike-flyknit-trainer-2012/) - At the big automotive industry shows the flagship brands impress with concept cars, showing the market what they're capable of creating. The Nike Flyknit Trainer is the concept shoe that made it to production.
- [Zoot Kalani 2.0 (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/zoot-kalani-2-0-2012/) - When you see a heel loop, and a tongue loop, for fast and easy entering, the shoe was designed with triathletes in mind. The laces can be tightened in one pull. A lace lock and you're good to go.
- [Pearl Izumi Tri Fly IV (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/pearl-izumi-tri-fly-iv-2012/) - The Pearl Izumi Tri Fly III got a complete makeover, and the TriFly IV is an improved shoe as a result. The closure system, heel loop, the upper, all gets a makeover in a shoe that was already good last year.
- [Skechers GOrun 2012](https://slowtwitch.com/running/skechers-gorun-2012/) - When you pick up the box after you pay the bill you want to double check to see if the shoes are even in the box. They are extremely light at 6.9 oz. at a men's 9, and you can't believe they are meant to be trainers. Are they?
- [Lake TX312](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/lake-tx312/) - This is one hell of a shoe, created with passion for the sport, and it will definitely be my shoe for the coming season. Still, distribution and customer service will be this shoe company's challenge.
- [Scott Tri Carbon Shoe (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/scott-tri-carbon-shoe-2012/) - Scott's got a footwear division, making both running and cycling shoes. I'm impressed with the quality of its work. Overall these shoes are good, but certain design features need some upgrading.
- [Pearl Izumi Kissaki (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/pearl-izumi-kissaki-2012/) - This shoe has a 9mm ramp, and here is the strange thing. This is only 1mm of extra material in comparison to the Iso Transition, but it feels like there is about 4mm of extra material. This shoe is just that comfortable.
- [Asics Excel33 (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/asics-excel33-2012/) - Asics has labeled this shoe natural which, according to the orthodoxy of today, it is not. Nevertheless, a terrific shoe it is. Sail over the squabble between what is and isn't natural, here's a great lightweight trainer.
- [Altra Instinct (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/altra-instinct-2012/) - These shoes run great, but there's more to it. They felt so comfortable I started wearing them to my job in my running and triathlon store. I always get tired feet. But not in these.
- [Brooks Cadence (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/brooks-cadence-2012/) - This shoe is similar to the Brooks Flow: Natural running shoes with more cushioning. The difference? This shoe is made for the runner who needs a little more stability.
- [Brooks Grit (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/brooks-grit-2012/) - It's an off-road version and feels more like the Cadence, without the softer lateral side. What really makes this a trail shoe is its outsole design and an upper that is more durable.
- [Newton MV2 (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/newton-mv2-2012/) - The Newton MV2 is Newton's first zero-drop shoe. At 5.8oz it's a pure racer. It's a shoe for the select few, the most efficient among us. Even for Newton it's a departure from the norm.
- [Brooks Connect (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/brooks-connect-2012/) - This is the Pure Project model that comes closest to a minimalist shoe, but the sole is still too cushioned to fit squarely into the minimalist category. It's natural running with a bit more cushion.
- [Brooks Flow (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/brooks-flow-2012/) - The Flow has more midsole thickness than the Brooks Connect. Look at this if you like the idea of a lower ramp and a minimal shoe, but aren't quite ready for take the ultimate "natural" plunge.
- [Saucony Hattori](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-hattori/) - Saucony came to the market with the now very successful Kinvara, and yet again with the Mirage. The Hattori is about as far as Saucony is willing to go toward Vibram’s Five Finger, and that’s pretty darned far.
- [Brooks Glycerin 9 (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/brooks-glycerin-9-2012/) - Forget the literary overreach by Brooks on the technical aspects of this shoe. The ecstasy exceeds the utility. Just wear the shoe. It's a very good update of the Glycerin line.
- [Asics Gel Nimbus 13 (2012)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/asics-gel-nimbus-13-2012/) - This latest edition of the Gel Nimbus is moderately different than the two previous iterations, in fit, in flexibility, and in the ride. Do these changes make the shoe better or a worse than its predecessors?
- [Sidi T2 Silver Snake](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/sidi-t2-silver-snake/) - Sidi's carbon-soled T2 Silver Snake. You can debate about the silver snakeskin upper on this wider-than-average Sidi, but I kind of liked it. It makes a statement.
- [Pearl Izumi 2011 Iso Transition](https://slowtwitch.com/running/pearl-izumi-2011-iso-transition/) - This shoe snuck up on me. I didn't see it coming. It doesn’t only look good, it has a great fit and that's not the end of it. Tim DeBoom inspired this shoe, and the result is solid.
- [Saucony ProGrid Mirage (2011)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/saucony-progrid-mirage-2011/) - Do you subscribe to the "natural" running philosophy, but need a bit more support? This shoe borrows from both the Kinvara and a regular training shoe. Saucony is about to score another hit in this architectural theme.
- [Kwicky Blade Light (2011)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/kwicky-blade-light-2011/) - The K-Swiss Kwicky Blade weighs a mere 9oz, exceptionally light for a training shoe. But if you are an efficient, and not too heavy, runner with a midfoot or forefoot strike, you might get it done in this shoe.
- [Asics 3020 (2011)](https://slowtwitch.com/running/asics-3020-2011/) - The 3020 bears a lot in common with the Kayano. But if its popular cousin doesn't grant quite enough medial support for you the over-pronator, the 3020 very likely will, and with no weight penalty.
- [Northwave Tribute](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/northwave-tribute/) - The Tribute is an update on the Tribal: a tri-specific cycling shoe with an extremely soft Lorica upper. Don't expect the same fit, feel and features: the shoe is an improvement, or not, depending on you.
- [The Bontrager RXL Hilo](https://slowtwitch.com/cycling/the-bontrager-rxl-hilo/) - This triathlon cycling shoe has the best breathability of all shoes I’ve so far tested. The large amount of mesh used in the upper of the shoe makes this like riding with the air conditioning on full volume.
