What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis can be tricky to solve with a single shoe as it can be quite different from person to person. These are some guidelines for which models may work best. Typically we find shoes with a higher drop from heel to toe, good cushion to take the impact away, and sometimes a less flexible option to help in case the other benefits aren't enough.
The first thing to find out is if you pronate or not as you walk/run. Pronation is as you walk/run your ankles will have a tendency to roll inwards towards each other and onto your arches, putting a lot of pressure on the inside edge of your feet.
If you feel you do this then you will want to check the SUPPORT SHOES suggestions. If you feel you walk pretty flat and stable, or perhaps roll outwards a little, then you will want to read the NEUTRAL SHOES suggestions. To help find out if you pronate you can visit a local running shop and have your gait analyzed by simply walking/running in the store as they watch. Linked below is our store finder to help find somewhere that could offer this:

Support Shoes:
A great option to start with to help with plantar fasciitis relief is our Adrenaline GTS model. The Adrenaline GTS offers a 12mm drop from heel to toe which helps to put your weight more in the forefoot and away from the plantar in your heel. The Adrenaline GTS has great cushion underfoot and supports to keep your pronation controlled as you walk/run. If you feel that you do not have enough cushion or perhaps too much flex in the Adrenaline GTS then you will want to explore our Addiction model. The Addiction is a highly supportive option, it will offer the same 12mm drop benefit of the Adrenaline GTS and pronation support but with some added stability. The Addiction features a rollbar through the midsole that helps to minimize excessive flex to the shoe and foot as you walk/run which in turn can help to cut back on stress to your plantars.

Neutral Shoes:
A great option to start with to help with plantar fasciitis relief is our Ghost model. The Ghost offers a 12mm drop from heel to toe which helps to put your weight more in the forefoot and away from the plantar in your heel. The Ghost offers a slightly wider toe-box by design to help get you a little more wiggle room in the fit and has great cushioning to help make for soft and smooth travels. In case you feel the Ghost is too flexible and you are getting a lot of agitation still in your plantar then I would suggest trying our Dyad model. The Dyad will offer the same 12mm drop benefit of the Ghost and work to keep your gait neutral but with some added stability. The Dyad helps to minimize excessive flex to the shoe and foot as you walk/run which in turn can help to cut back on stress to your plantars.

As plantar fasciitis can vary from each persons' experience we suggest these shoes as guidelines of good models to try. Depending on your experiences we may have a better option. Feel free to reach out to help find the best model for your feet and your runs.

View ArticleChoosing the right shoe for your best run should help you run farther, faster, more comfortably - or all 3! Here are some tips:
1.) Use our Shoe Finder to walk you through the process and explain the science of our shoes.Think about the ride - how do you want your run to feel? Do you like cushiony pillows under your feet? A springy, responsive stride? A more minimal sole to connect you to the earth? Are you running for distance or speed? Road or trail?
2.) Visit a local store for a professional fitting! Use our Store Locator to find a local running store, whose staff are incredibly knowledgeable about running and the gear that goes along with it. Your needs may change over time, so it's a great idea to create a relationship with your local store staff for expert advice.
3.) Try a pair! Our True Blue Guarantee means you can try a style and if it doesn't work you can return them within 90 days!

View ArticleHow to wash shoes:
We recommend following these directions to keep your shoes looking and performing their best.
Remove the internal liner and hand wash the shoes in warm water with mild soap. Make sure not to submerge or soak the shoes in water. We do not recommend using a washer or dryer machine for cleaning our shoes, as they can be too aggressive and cause the shoes to stretch or warp compromising the materials and performance of the shoe.
Stuff your shoes with newsprint (plain if you have it) and allow them to air dry. When they are all dried out, you can reinsert the liner and hit the road again
How to dry a wet shoe:
Depending on how wet they get and the method of drying, running shoes can encounter adverse results. If a performance running shoe is worn through rain, submerged and/or soaked, the materials may lose quality in elasticity, softness, cushion, and overall last.
If your shoes are submitted to any of these scenarios, we recommend that you stuff them with newspaper and leave them in a warm place over night. Do not use any heat (dryer, baseboard heaters, sunlight) to dry them because it can ruin the synthetic materials in the shoe's upper.

The Ghost 12 maintains and enhances what runners have relied on in the Ghost year after year, ensuring that longtime wearers won’t miss a beat when they step into the shoe. Runners who are new to the Ghost will get the same smooth experience.
Enhancements to the new Ghost 12 include balanced cushioning underfoot, and refinements to the upper and outsole that reduce the shoe’s weight and deliver a smooth running experience.
The Ghost 12’s DNA LOFT and BioMoGo DNA cushioning systems provide softness without a trade-off in responsiveness or durability. A Segmented Crash Pad and updated outsole help cushion each stride and deliver smooth heel-to-toe transitions. Additionally, the new upper has fewer layers which saves weight while still offering a soft, secure fit thanks to the 3D Fit Print’s engineered structure and breathability.

View ArticleGuideRails support system is built into the footwear midsole and revolutionize traditional stability technology found in running shoes. Delivering on-demand support, GuideRails allow your hips, knees, and joints to move within their unique motion path while you run all without traditional posts.
This innovative new form of stability doesn't "correct" your stride. Instead, it assists your body in finding its natural path, or Stride Signature.
How It Works:
A good way to think about how GuideRails work is to picture a bobsled track. As the bobsled rockets down the icy course, the crew works to guide it down the "line" the ideal path through the course. The fastest times are achieved when the sled glides effortlessly down the course with limited side-to-side movement.
Now, let’s apply this to the runner.
Much like the bobsled, runners perform best when they stay within their personal "line" what we like to call their Natural Habitual Joint Motion. GuideRails are designed to do just this help runners maintain the most efficient and natural motion throughout the run.
