361° SANTIAGO - The 361° Santiago is the latest shoe from this upstart brand to cross over to the trail, intended to mirror the success of its Neutral road shoes. The upper is closed mesh with no-sew, welded overlays supporting the forefoot, a brawny stitched saddle and toecap that also features a high-friction surface to fend off trail debris. Additional fused overlays create a full rand for more protection. The midsole features a top layer of cushy Qu!ckfoam over a single-density EVA layer. The outersole is carbon rubber, with lugs which manage both trail and road well, proving its hybrid nature. The comfortable fit, effective traction, and protective ride add up to a quality trail performer.
Testers: "Good fit with plenty of protection. Traction was equal to trail and road, with good durability to boot"

 | FEBRUARY 5 - If you are one of those whose goal is "running a dream", look no further. This is indeed the motto of the Napoli City Half Marathon, winding through many of the most beautiful streets of Naples (Unesco World Heritage) to finish on the grounds of the Overseas Exhibition originally showcasing businesses from the Italian colonies. The temperature is ideal (between 40 and 60 degrees) and the course is spectacular to say the least, touching places such as the Piazza del Plebiscito with the royal palace, Castel dell'Ovo (the oldest castle of the city), the Umberto I commercial gallery, the Maschio Angioino castle, and even the San Paolo soccer stadium. www.napolimohm.org |
 | FEBRUARY 12 - The finisher's prize at the Brunello Crossing, held in Montalcino (Siena), could not have been anything other than a wine glass featuring the trail logo. The 22k and 44k trails start from the fourteenth century fortress and go through the Brunello di Montalcino vineyards, while the fun run will follow the medieval Via Francigena pilgrim route. The day before the event do not miss the guided tour of wineries to taste the "new" Brunello di Montalcino (from five years ago) before it will be officially available for sale. www.brunellocrossing.it |
