Biggest Shoe Surprise of 2026? | Group Chat | Join David and Matt as they go on a free-wheeling conversation on where running is headed.

| 8/26/26 | #308 Mailbag! Understanding Your Running Form, Road Shoes for Knee Pain, Altra Vanish Carbon 2 First Thoughts | Nathan, Matt, & David are here for our latest mailbag round. Matt shares some early thoughts on the Altra Vanish Carbon 3 and runs through more shoes currently in testing before diving into the mailbag. They tackle questions on how to actually sense your own running mechanics, what it means for your form to be "right," road shoe recommendations for knee pain while returning to running, and how to find new shoes after coming back from a long injury layoff.

They debate whether the New Balance SC Elite v6 is the best super shoe the brand has ever made, whether the Clifton Pro deserves the title of best Clifton, and if the Topo Specter 3 stands as the brand's best shoe yet.

| 8/12/26 | #306 Why You Shouldn’t Sleep on Topo Athletics: Brand Breakdown | If you've been with us for a while, you know we're big fans of Topo Athletic. They're new releases: Specter 3 and Specter Elite have gotten some big acclaim, and for good reason. But, you might not know about their full line of shoes. Matt, David, and Nathan are here to break down their lineup, from daily trainers, to max cushion shoes, to minimalist options. Rabbit is the presenting partner of our podcast.

| 8/5/26 | #305 We Debate Footstrike Myths! | Our social algorithms are full of quick-fix suggestions from "experts" telling us how this one change to foot strike (or cadence or form, etc) will fix all our pain! But they're often too good to be true. Matt, David, and Nathan do some footstrike mythbusting, starting with a primer on what footstrike actually is and how it factors into injury risk. They work through several persistent myths such as that most elite runners are mid/forefoot strikers, that forefoot striking is inherently more efficient, that changing footstrike is an easy fix for pain and more.Rabbit is the presenting partner of our podcast.

| 7/29/26 | #304 Mailbag! New Balance SC Rebel vs. Elite v6? Difference Between Rockers and Toe-Spring? Do I Need Flexible AND Rockered Shoe? | Nathan and Matt dig into the mailbag after sharing early thoughts on the New Balance SC Rebel and SC Elite v6 in this week's In For Testing. They cover a wide range of your questions, including whether unworn shoes age in storage, what makes a good all-terrain "safe" shoe, the biomechanical differences between forefoot rockers and toe-spring, and whether it's worth rotating flexible shoes with stiffer, rockered ones, and much more.
