Hoka One One Shoes:Stinson EVO Tarmac: $170 Bondi B: $160Hoka One One is the brainchild of two gravity sports enthusiasts, Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas Mermoud. Both men have been adventuring for as long as they can remember, and their trail running experiences have taken them across the globe. Because fatigue, impact and muscle strain were challenges that all runners deal with every day, a shoe was designed to help to alleviate these problems — so that freedom and enjoyment could be guaranteed every time you go running! With each and every step your foot takes flight. Today, runners from around the world are having fun and benefiting from Hoka One One running shoes. They are worn by athletes running all distances from 5Ks to half-marathons as well as ultra distances from 50 mile, 100 mile and even 2000+ miles.

Altra, The One: $100The One from Altra is a lightweight zero drop running shoe. The One is fully cushioned and features a breathable mesh upper. It has never been easier or more fun to learn the optimal way to run. The One makes running fun again by putting your feet in the optimal position with the zero drop sole and oh so easy to lift off with a superlight 7.3oz construction.

PowerIce, Ten Pack: $12.99PowerICE is targeted to both athletes with an active lifestyle and to anyone looking for a great-tasting, healthy snack alternative. It cools and rehydrates the body after strenuous activities, as well as replaces sodium and potassium electrolytes in a sensible and incremental intake versus other sports drinks. It is fortified with Vitamin C and contains only 30 calories per serving. The product is sweetened with natural sugar and does not contain any high fructose corn syrup or caffeine.

New Nike Free Run 5.0: $100 (Available 3/28/13)Nike Frees are different than traditional athletic shoes. They’re designed to let your feet move more freely and naturally, which means your muscles will be doing a bit more work than demanded of them in some other athletic shoes. Nike encourages you to get used to them gradually for a safer, more effective and more enjoyable experience.

Swiftwick Socks, Sustain Zero: $11.99The SUSTAIN Zero has energy efficiency stitched in to every last fiber. The only sock on the market created from post-industrial recycled nylon, the SUSTAIN Line is Swiftwick's finest tribute to their commitment to the planet and the earth-conscious athlete in us all.

Currex Insoles: $45The award winning currexSole RUNPRO is the ultimate performance insole for running, walking or triathlon. Wear it in classic running shoes or let ‘em help you to step forward into minimalistic shoes.
