In Search of the Perfect Shoe Match

Of all the daily services we provide to our customers, by far the most important is helping folks select the proper pair of shoes. How those shoes fit, feel, are priced and, most importantly, how they match each individual’s particular gait mechanics are just a few of the many thoughts and priorities that go into selecting the proper shoe for each individual Ragged Mountain patron.

Ragged Mountain April Shoe of the Month:

New Balance Minimus Road/Trail — New Balance just released a new line of minimal shoes and we are currently carrying both the road and trail versions. The road shoe (8.2 oz/6.6 oz) is very low profile, almost like a racing flat, and is good for neutral runners with efficient biomechanics. The trail shoe (7.1 oz/5.5 oz) is lighter and a little “less shoe” but has a very nice Vibram outersole that is perfect for heading off-road. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes.
