The Montrail Fluid Flex FKT (February 2016) The FKT is the next version of 2015’s Fluid Flex ST. It’s a road/trail hybrid with a 4mm drop and a weight of 9.2oz (7.7oz for woman) with an MSRP of $110. Review by Korey Konga of Team7hills UPPER/FIT The Fluid Flex FKT has a no-sew upper, but it’s […]
Altra — our number one brand for 2014 — has already taken it up a notch in 2015. They are the new title footwear sponsor for both the Western States 100 and Hardrock 100. Their shoes are crushing the competition at our shop. For 2015, they could be close to 25% of our total business. Everything […]
Michael Miller reviews the Olympus 2.0 from Altra This is it. This is the shoe the Olympus was meant to be. As a useful trail shoe, the first two iterations of the Altra Olympus were a bust. There just wasn’t enough traction in either version ~ though I did get hundreds of miles out of […]
Our Top7 has been shaken up! The juggernaut that has been the Altra Lone Peak finally had a down month for us–finishing 2nd for both men and women. I thought only another Altra shoe–like the improved Superior 2.0 due out in January or the amazingly improved Olympus 2.0 due in this week–could unseat the King […]

Salomon Sense Mantra 3 – I actually predicted this shoe to be in our 2015 #Top7 for women. We failed to sell a single women’s pair; choosing […]

I had an idea that I’d give this great speech prior to our film screening Saturday night. A speech to thank all of those who’ve helped us make it three years in business. I tried, but it didn’t come out as articulate as the recipients of my thanks deserve. First and foremost I have to […]
It’s October…Wow! Our 3-year anniversary is tomorrow, October 2nd! More details to come, but our anniversary party will be October 17th . Among other things, we’ll show the new Western States 100 movie “This is Your Day.” On to the business at hand: #Top7 trail running shoes for September! Women’s: Altra Lone Peak 2.5 […]
If you’re like a lot of our customers, you want one great shoe for everything: mountain trail running, to Discovery Park, to the Magnolia Run The Bluff 5k. If you’re like Michael Miller, you add an addition onto your house for shoe storage. For all those “one shoe for everything” folk, here’s our list of the […]
