PURE GRIT
Free your feet and embrace the trail with the PureGrit. Working with ultramarathoner Scott Jurek, we developed a unique one-piece outsole that has a concave shape. When forces are applied, the piece splays out to provide a more balanced lay-down. A sleek grip lug pattern and wide base protect the feet but still allow the runner to get in touch with the ground. Top it off with an ultralight mesh and conforming foam upper for a fit that really hugs the foot.
Just like our core line, we hold PureProject to the industry’s highest weartest and durability standards. Because of their lightweight construction and fewer materials, runners should generally expect shoes from the PureProject line to last approximately 250-300 miles..
Ghost 4
Following in the footsteps of the Ghost 3, the Ghost 4 was deemed "Editor's Choice" in Runner's World’s Fall 2011 Shoe Guide in the September issue. Runner’s World described the Ghost 4 as "a lightweight shoe with a snug fit," noting that "the Ghost has a fast feel and a surprisingly springy midsole that supplies just a bit of stability."
Now friendlier than ever, this super-balanced wonder is at the heart of our Neutral collection, making it the "go-to" shoe for a plethora of runners. Now with Brooks® DNA, the new and improved Ghost 4 adds customized cushioning to its already generous comfort arsenal, plus Omega flex grooves for extra flexibility. Runner’s World said, "Whether you go fast or slow, this versatile shoe can handle whatever workouts you dish out." Take them for a spin and you’ll become a believer.
Gel Nimbus 13
With its plush, cushioned ride and stable platform, along with an improved upper fit, this Nimbus brings you serious running performance.
Biomorphic FIT upper—stretch nylon mesh material strategically placed on upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation
GEL Cushioning System attenuates shock during impact phase AHAR heel plug for added durability. Trusstic System reduces the weight of the rubber sole while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.
Cascadia 6
Sustainability reaches daunting new heights in the new Cascadia 6. Virtually every component has an environmentally friendly back story to wow any eco-crusader. Handle unpredictable terrain with ease and savor the sights and sanctuary of nature, knowing you have a hand (and foot) in its preservation. No greenwashing here – meaningful environmental progress goes hand in hand with off-road performance in the best trail shoe out there.
We added our adaptable Brooks DNA cushioning to the heel and forefoot of the Cascadia, creating customized comfort and a shoe that adapts to different surfaces. In addition, we made sure the midfoot saddle is our most conformable and adjustable, offering an unsurpassed glove-like fit to almost any foot, and further perfecting the locked-in feel for ultra-stability. Then we added a medial forefoot pivot post with four points of contact – providing 4x4-like suspension in a much more sustainable way. Oh, and we added all that while making the shoe nearly an ounce lighter. Sweet!
Wave Ascend 6
The low stance of the Wave Ascend 6 makes it a perfect choice for a great run on the trails. Wet Traction, bi-directional outsole rubber compound breaks through water, improving grip in all conditions.
GEL-Cumulus 13
The ASICS GEL-Cumulus 13 road-running shoes deliver plush cushioning for a soft, smooth ride with just a touch of stability for mild overpronators.
Excellent breathability and flex, with just enough support, is achieved through a mix of airy polyester mesh and synthetic leather overlays throughout the uppers. Lace eyelets are independently placed to ensure even lace pressure and a snug, comfortable fit. Memory foam-lined collars mold to each foot for excellent comfort around the ankles. Wicking polyester linings absorb excess moisture and dry fast. Solyte® last uses proprietary polymer material in the midsole to enhance out-of-the-box comfort and long-lasting cushioned feel. Solyte midsole material is also exceptionally lightweight, with excellent rebound for easy running. Forefoot and hindfoot GEL® silicone-based gel inserts absorb excess shock in all directions, delivering cushioning and stability. Gender-specific midfoot stability system creates a pocket between midsole supports, enhancing shock absorption and controlling midsole deformation for enhanced efficiency.
Impact Guidance System (IGS®) helps slow pronation for an optimal gait and natural foot movement from heel strike through toe-off. Vertical flex groove in rubber outsoles follows the line of progression throughout the gait cycle to enhance gait efficiency. ASICS GEL-Cumulus 13 road-running shoes carry the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.

GRAB a Pair TODAY!
When you come to see us for your next pair of shoes, be prepared for a unique approach to fitting that you probably won’t find anywhere else. More than likely you were referred here by another satisfied customer or health professional, but before we start grabbing shoes, we'll need to conduct a short "interview" to get the information that will help guide us:
1.What purpose will the shoes serve (running, walking, standing, gym workouts, etc.)?
2.What surface type will you be on (road, trails, treadmill, tile or concrete flooring)?
3.What shoes are you wearing now (we suggest you bring in your old shoes for comparison)?
4.Do you have any injuries or special considerations that might affect our choice of shoe?
5.Who wrote the Iliad and Odyssey?
Now the fun starts. First, we’ll have you remove your shoes (hey look, you wore two different socks today), roll up those pant legs and briskly walk the length of the store a few times so we can watch your gait cycle (biomechanics) and determine your foot type. Are you neutral, a mild overpronator, moderate overpronator, maximum overpronator or (gulp) a supinator? There’s a shoe made specifically for each one of these categories, and it’s our job to find the right match so that any corrections can be made to keep your gait confined to the neutral cycle, which will minimize stress injuries and allow you to get the most from your workout.
Then, after bringing out a few shoes to try (check your vanity at the door because we don't choose by looks) and finding the right fit --- snug heel, contact with the arch and a roomy toe box --- we’re going to have you test the shoe on the sidewalk so we can validate our analysis. If you are a runner this particular step is very important because often times the running gait will be different than the walking gait on which we based our choice of shoe. If there happens to be too much pronation (or in the rare case of not enough), we'll change to a different shoe so that we can make the proper recommendation. It's all in a day’s work for us at no extra charge to you.
