EVO Shoes Offer A Close-To-The-Earth Experience

We've all heard that running barefoot might just be better for the body than wearing heavy running shoes, but it's not always feasible to run or desirable to run that way. A new foot-friendly solution can be found in the EVO performance shoe from Terra Plana. The shoe is a collaboration between Galahad Clark, owner of Terra Plana and Asher Clark, his cousin and head designer, both seventh generation shoemakers.

The EVO is designed to be like running barefoot but better. The minimalist running shoe weighs only eight ounces and has breathable mesh and lightweight micro fiber reinforcements. The soft rubber sole is just 4mm. The shoe comes in yellow, black, white, pink, blue and green and sells for $160.

Fashion designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Adidas to create the a³ Flyride, a new running shoe for women that uses the lightest heel-to-toe a3 cushioning system for women. The a³ Flyride was designed exclusively for women to be lighter, softer and more flexible.It also has breathability through the net mesh upper and sweat-absorbing and anti-odor treatments in the insole. The design includes an asymmetrical lacing system and a muted feminine color scheme including the signature Stella McCartney color of dusty rose. The a3 Flyride will be in stores in May and should sell for around 170 Euros ($205). You'd think for that price is would have some sort of gadgety feature like the Adidas One.
