BRAND RUNNING SHOE GUIDE Including Minimalistic running shoes, Natural running shoes, Minimalistic Running Shoe Scale, Football / Soccer, Rugby, Court sports shoes,

Hockey, Netball, Cycling, and socks. Some Safety boots are included. Only shoe models that are available in South Africa are included.

professional experience, using available information sourced from the individual sporting companies and

information published in sporting magazines and the internet.

This is not a review of the running shoe models.

It is beyond the ambit of this publication to list the individual attributes of each shoe model. For more

information on each model consult the individual company.

Where possible Heel Drop values and Midsole Sack values are indicated.

The information contained in this guide is current at the time of publication, and every attempt has been made

to ensure accuracy.
