Hoka Evo Rehi
£120hokaoneone.eu Tester Geri
This shoe is unbelievably light, due to the Hoka’s lightweight rubberised foam, and this is a fast, versatile and cushioned racer. The Rehi are responsive and perfect to wear for your speed sessions, track sessions or even your longer runs. The upper part of the shoe is well ventilated and durable, they have a snug fi t and are ubercomfortable. Versatile, cool, responsive, the Hoka Rehi has attitude and sass. They’re such a stylish pair of trainers, which you can wear at any time. A must add to your summer kit.
SAUCONY Fastwitch 9
£100saucony.com Tester Gemma
This is an incredibly lightweight shoe – and an incredibly bright one! The fi t is comfortable and spot on for the size. The racing design is as sleek as they come, with a breathable upper mesh that helps keep feet cool, and the no-sew design meant no irritations too. The ‘tacky’ rubber outsole was true to its word, giving good traction with the road. A fantastic, fast shoe – perfect for intervals.
