The Running Network LLC, Reveals Top Honors in 2014 Fall Shoe Review
SAN JOSE, CA. - After hundreds of miles run by testers, the Fortius Media Group, LLC reveals the top running shoes in its 2014 Running Network Fall Shoe Review.
"The Running Network shoe reviews have, since 1998, provided the consumer with a great series of options for finding the shoe that best fits their needs. From the tiniest of brands to the global leaders, Cregg Weinmann works hard to find you a shoe that makes sense for your feet," noted Larry Eder, publishing director of Fortius Media Group, LLC, and president of the Running Network, LLC.
This fall, Fortius Media Group, LLC, put the best running shoes available to the test. During the testing process, shoes were carefully matched to the foot shape, motion, and footstrike of hundreds of wear testers. Each tester runs 100 miles in the shoes and evaluates them throughout the process on seven key performance characteristics. Evaluation data is entered into a software system developed by Cregg Weinmann, Fortius Media Group's footwear reviewer, to decide a winner in each category.
Earning top honors for Fall 2014 are the Hoka One One Huaka for Best New Shoe, Skechers GOrun Ultra Extreme for Best Value, Nike LunarGlide 6 for Best Motion Stabilizing Shoe, adidas adiZero Boston Boost 5 for Best Shoe Renovation, Brooks Glycerin 12 for Best Neutral Shoe, and Newton Kismet for Best Performance Shoe.
"For the Fall Review, testers piled on hundreds of marathon training miles to put the shoes through their paces. This rigorous testing provides the critical feedback that validates the strengths of shoes from the various brands. The small differences between shoes are carefully compared within a matrix of features, price, and performance to determine the category winners," said Weinmann. "Runners need to recognize that the general categorization of the shoes is only a starting point for them, and their needs should be their top consideration. The parity between brands has never been as close as it is now, meaning it's more important than ever to find the shoes that fit and function best for you."
