Retail Therapy: Injinji Performance Sock

Have trouble with toe blisters? The Injinji socks could be the answer. Injinji has enhanced the toe sock to help the feet work by allowing each toe to move independently, similar to gloves on our hands. It takes a few runs to get used to having fabric around your toes, but after a while, your [...]

Retail Therapy: Runway Meets Running

Most men probably have no clue who Stella McCartney is, or they think she’s Paul McCartney’s ex-wife with the prosthetic leg and questionable past. Women in the know are more likely to be aware that Stella McCartney was the head designer for Chloé for years before launching her own brand of high-fashion, celebrity-hyped clothing.
It seems [...]

Retail Therapy: Sports Bra for the Well-endowed

Time to rest easy and get moving. Finally, a compression bra that supports in all the right places. The soft fabric allows for breathability and only a small degree of stretching which drastically reduces the dreaded bounce.

Retail Therapy: Performance Bondi Bands

Last month I had the pleasure of working on a project with fellow RBF member Runningmomma Michelle. She shared with me that she was distributing these very cool Bondi Performance Headbands. Hmmm, a product I hadn’t heard of? This, of course, peaked the fashion maven’s curiosity.

I ordered several, I tried them and it’s all [...]

Trail Racing Shoe: Teva X-1

Let me get this out of the way right up front: The Teva X-1 is the best trail running shoe I’ve ever worn, and may well be the best running shoe of any kind I’ve worn. That’s not to say that it’s the perfect shoe for everyone, but it’s definitely worth your time to check [...]

Retail Therapy: Blister Beater Socks

I don’t know about you, but nothing irks me more than having to pay $8 - $16 for a good pair of running socks. They’re socks! There’s not that much fabric to them. I have the same issue with underwear, but we won’t go there.
I don’t have the answers to sock technology but according to [...]

Retail Therapy: Brooks Vapor-Dry 2 Hoodie

I don’t know about you, but it seems like winter is never going to end. Heading to your local running store for a little for something new might be just the pick-me-up you need to help you hit the road on a cold day. I sure did and found a very versatile and functional jacket: [...]

eBay for Running Shoes?

Many people do not think of eBay when they are shopping for running shoes. I have found that eBay is an excellent service for finding and buying the shoes that I already know so well that I have practically named them and have told others that they are the best shoe in the world! You [...]

Gettin’ In Gear

Runners often cite “affordability” as one of the reasons they are initially attracted to the sport. For the most part, the lack of equipment necessary to run translates to a minimum financial investment. A pair of running shoes usually does the trick.
Of course, it’s probably more comfortable to run in shorts and a t-shirt rather [...]

The 25 Best Running Product Innovations

The Top 5 Tips for Buying Running Shoes

I often encounter patients who have difficulty in finding the right shoes. Here are some suggestions to help you find the proper pair.
1. Try on shoes later in the day, not in the morning.

Happy Boobs

Fall is just around the corner, that season where days get shorter, cooler and the wind gently breezes through our hair. Unfortunately, it breezes through our bras as well (sorry men). And as our boobs are smashed in our sport bras, we get the all too familiar fall fashion statement: Happy Boobs.
