Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Impressions
After my beloved Merrell Agility Peak 5s started to fall apart, I was on the hunt for a replacement. I couldn’t find them on sale anywhere so I looked for another model. Luke from Leave the Road & Run has written a post about the Long Sky 2 and its successor, the Long Sky 2…

Saucony Peregrine 14 Impressions
This is my 6th pair of Peregrines from Saucony. I saw them recently described as an “all-rounder” and I agree with this take. They’re good at everything without excelling in one area. I’m getting into the habit of buying a new pair in November when they normally come down in price. I picked up the…

Merrell Agility Peak 5 Impressions
I’ve just passed 100 miles in the Merrell Agility Peak 5 trail shoes so here are my initial impressions. Merrell were a really popular casual shoe brand when I was younger. I knew they did walking shoes as well but I never considered them a serious trail running company. I’d seen some reviews last year…

HOKA Torrent 3 Review
I’ve just clocked up 200 miles in the HOKA Torrent 3 and I wish I’d bought another pair! I picked these up for a decent discount when they were still quite new and was immediately pleased that they hadn’t changed significantly. Specifications Style The design of the Torrent 3 is clearly an evolution of the…

Saucony Peregrine 13 Impressions
I’ve been a fan of the Saucony Peregrine model for a long time. After having some issues with the Peregrine 12, I tried some shoes from Salomon and HOKA. I always wanted to return to the Peregrine so I kept an eye out for sales to pick up a cheaper pair. I managed to get…

Trail Shoe Talk – July 2023
My current shoe selection includes the HOKA Torrent 2 and HOKA Challenger ATR 6. The Torrent 2s are my second pair and I love them. They’re light, responsive and perfect for the trails I run. I bought the Challengers on sale to try a shoe with more padding in the midsole for comfort on longer…

Salomon Sense Ride 4 Impressions
I’m not calling this post a review as I’ve only done 120 miles. I would typically retire a shoe after approximately 400 miles depending on the wear and tear but I’ve decided to stop running in the Sense Ride 4. First Impressions I was initially surprised at how stiff they felt so I wore them…

Saucony Peregrine 11 Review
I reviewed one of my favourite trail shoes last year after wearing them for 350 miles. Having used a few other models in the last year, I’m tempted to pick up another pair. They really suited my needs and fit perfectly. Saucony fixed the only issue I had with the Peregrine 9. The 10 was…

HOKA Challenger ATR 6 Impressions
The HOKA Challenger ATR 6 is a “hybrid” or “commuter” trail running shoe that’s suitable for trail and tarmac. It’s a low-drop shoe with a plush midsole and 4mm lugs. I bought them on sale from HOKA’s outlet store to use as a second pair. I’ve been running in the Salomon Sense Ride 4 but…
