July Arrivals
The second half of the year always sees a number of new shoes and updates to existing models land on the shelves. As ever some are better than others and as is always the case, the proof is in the running. Last month saw the arrival of the Scott Kinabalu 2.0 RC and a real marmite shoe that has proven to be.

The current incarnation, Ride 6, gets a radical update this Autumn and is perhaps better viewed as a new shoe. Here’s why… For, Saucony, making changes to how they do things is nothing new. They were one of the first companies to develop the 4mm drop shoe with the Kinvara.
