Reviews - Manhattan Running Company

Year-in-year-out the Ghost is the top selling shoe in America, but anymore, it really lags behind the ‘super’ trend. I think a lot of what people enjoy is continued and improved upon in this new model. But I won’t spare it from all critique…

The Cloudmonster is one of the latest models that looks to butt heads with max cushion shoes in the shoe-niverse.

Top Shoe of 2022

What do you think was the most popular shoes of the year? Let see what the top neutral and stability shoe was at MRC based on purchases.

With New Balance pushing the fresh foam More v4 and FuelCell SuperComp trainer, where does that leave this high cushioned, while not the highest cushion trainer, in their line?

If you wanted to bet on the underdog; the Mach 5 is a safe bet. This model is a versatile, high energized shoe that takes advantage of the Hoka ‘meta-rocker’ with a mixture of soft, responsive Profly+ midsole foam and a rubberized outsole. (*Ooooooh-aaahhh)*

Hoka continues to improve their models to meet the needs of the masses. They even look better too. The Clifton 8 will find itself in my rotation for easy miles, and also really enjoy wearing it for everyday life; walking and standing at work.

Altra Torin 6 Review

Do you walk around the house barefoot all the time too? It feels good, feels natural. That same feeling is what Altra tries to put in their shoes. This new model is one I think people will continue to enjoy.

This new model goes head to head with the competition, proving it's versatility and comfort in every step.

Ever heard of pickleball? We don't have the paddles or the wiffle balls but we do have some gear that could help you dive into and excel in this new sport.

The Brooks Glycerin is one of Brooks longest running models, designed to be a max cushioned shoe can go the distance while consistently delivering a smooth ride. The last few generations of this model have really impressed me. Will they improve upon the already great shoe?

A Guide to Running Routes in Manhattan

Picture this, you get your running clothes on, lace your shoes up, take that last swig of water, and head out for your run and it is not already over 80 degrees with 80% humidity. Sounds nice huh?

My best advice training-wise is to listen to your coach and keep showing up wanting to get better. Don’t become too focused on results or some “get fit quick” idea. Control the controllables; here are some of those controllables that I recommend you pay attention to this cross country season.

I think this shoe is battle tested and perfect for an everyday training or as a premium strictly long run shoe.
