His reviews have evolved from biannual reviews—Spring and Fall—to additional two-page reviews on specific categories such as Minimalist, Road Racers, Track & Field, Trail, Best Shoes Under $85, and Kids’ Shoes. I’m amazed how well the projects come together. The team we have—Kristen Cerer and Alex Larsen in design, Marg Sumner as proofreader, Cregg as footwear reviewer—helmed by project coordinator/editor Christine Johnson, has found a way to share an immense amount of information in an easy-to-read format. In the end, content is king. The Running Network’s Shoe Reviews and features provide access to our carefully researched information on running footwear to more than 4 million readers via print, the Web, digital and mobile formats, and social media (FB and Twitter). Where is running footwear going? Here, Weinmann and researchers like Simon Bartold and Jack Daniels are in agreement: Lightweight will not be going away. Minimalism is a great tool—really, training equipment—to improve your running experience and performance. At the end of the day, the Running Network’s Shoe Reviews and features, along with our partners’ magazines, websites, and social media, are here for just one reason: to enhance your running experience and relationship with your local running community. So take a run, cool down, and then enjoy reading our 2013 Spring Shoe Review, and continue your quest for the perfect running shoe for you!
