As you can see, almost everyone is going for a more responsive midsole material. They have to, in order to keep up with Hoka's RMAT and Adidas' Boost materials. And Hoka is getting into the fast, less-thick midsole market as many people have been requesting. That new Adidas trail shoe designed like a mountain bike tire with various interchangeable midsole options is going to be very interesting.
Wish the article showed the ultra boost 2, wanted to see if they changed the outsole. I read from some reviews that the ultra boost outsole was not very durable (did not expect that from adidas.)
With the lone exception of the NB Zante v2 every single person involved with creating those travesties should be relieved of their jobs. What a rancid pile of Runner's World garbage.
The Altra IQ stood out to me in that it has a sensor in it which "will be able to help a runner correct his or her gait on the fly with real-time audible and visible coaching (through headphones or a smartphone)".
I've seen some foot pods on kickstarter which are supposed to give runners data on their pronation and all sorts of other stuff, but that's the first time I've seen it built into the shoe. Price doesn't look too bad either, at $200. Kinda reminds me of the old Nike+ shoes which had the slot in the sole for the Nike+ sensor.
nice post shawn.
but my trusty Glide 6's > all those shoes (and your huakas too)

Not gonna argue. The Glide 6 is a great shoe, indeed. I've been bothered just a bit by the width in the toe box, but not too bad. I still love it.
Looks like they butchered the Kinvara...
I really am hoping they keep making the 5s. Probably my favorite model of the shoe. The four wasn't enough shoe, the 3 was pretty good and the 6 just didn't feel right. The 5 on the other hand was great.
waaatttt, for me the width is a perfect. Just enough room, but not ginormous room (like the new Vomero 10, which I had to return, not becauase of that specifically but because it was too soft and my tibialis posterio/solues/calf started to hurt, AS IT DOES EVERY TIME I WEAR A SOFT NIKE SHOE IM A FOOL FOR THINKING IT WOULD CHANGE WITH THESE NEW SICK FLYKNIT UPPERS)because of the curved last in the Adios Boost 2, I have to size up .5, and when I do that the shoe no longer has that perfect Cinderella heel-lock fit.Just my feet though. I'm actually afraid to move to the 7 b/c I heard it fits slightly differently.I would have really liked to see the Glide 8 in that article.

I don't even know exactly when it happened, but I have nerve damage in the third toe on my left foot. If I wear a shoe with too tight of a toe box, sometimes it gets aggravated, and feels like it's on fire. I have to stop, take off the shoe, and massage the toe a bit. The last time it happened, I was wearing my Glide 6's. Usually they feel fine. At least with the Hoka Huaka, I never have any pain anywhere. The Clifton, on the other hand, gives me terrible pain in both big toes--probably because it is to darned mushy, not because the toe box is too small.
When will the maximalist cushioning trend finally die? It was just a knee-jerk overreaction to minimalism becoming popular. Now they're just re-encouraging heel striking and running with terrible form, but it's okay because you have 4 inches of foam between you and the ground. It's totally stupid
