The woman style Hyperdunk 2010 is available in many different colors such as purple, white, blue, black, white and metallic colors with silver accents. These shoes are high top versions, and offer additional ankle stability and are very light in weight. The upper portion of the shoe offers mesh and a synthetic mix and a midsole made of Phylon to help with instep cushion. There is an additional plastic insert support for the instep as well. The outer sole is ideal for traction and has a long life due to the traction pattern therein.
Another style worn by many women is the 6.0 Dunk High. This shoe is available in black and white, red and blue to gray and purple. This style offers a high top to help support ankles and has an upper made of nubuck, suede and leather. The tongue is made of mesh therefore the foot is able to breathe, and the midsole is full length so that impact from jumping or running is minimal.
The Shox BB Pro shoes come in any available color Nike offers, because it can be customized by the Nike iD. This is completed on the site when you order the shoes. You are able to opt from patent or regular leather as well as nubuck for your uppers. The midsole is like many others mentioned and offers Shox columns while Phylon is used near the heel for more than enough support.

The midsole of this style offers the Zoom Nike is known for, and an air pouch at the heel to help with the impact from running and jumping. This is one reason it is found in both the running shoe and basketball shoe areas of the site. The outsole has the same pattern as other basketball shoes, to help with traction.

After clocking Neymar and Danny Welbeck testing out and all-new Nike football boot early this month, it would seem the Swoosh are stepping up their latest round of testing as even more prototypes of this exciting upcoming release have been spotted in the wild.
This time, however, it’s two players who haven’t been seen wearing these prototypes before who have been snapped in this exciting-looking new silo from Nike.
Following in the footsteps of their England striking colleague Danny Welbeck, it’s Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge who have stepped into these blacked-out version of the latest Nike cleats.
And whilst this batch of prototypes as opaquely black as the ones we’ve seen on Neymar & Co., there’s certainly no mistaking the distinctive dimpled upper on this upcoming release
As well as their nationality, Rooney and Sturridge also share another thing in common – they’re both T90 Laser IV wearers. We’ve heard rumours already beginning to circulate that this new silo could be ousting the Laser from the Nike line-up, and given Nike seeking feedback from Rooney and Sturridge this could well be the case!
However, the fact that Neymar and Welbeck are Vapor wearers, there could be more to this story than meets the eye, with this latest Nike boot possibly tackling a slightly different angle to the traditional ‘power/accuracy’ ethos of the Laser series.
Speaking of Neymar, the Brazilian star has been back in his pair of prototypes this past week, giving us a great look at the soleplate on this new model.
It would seem Nike are going for something exceptionally unique with this new silo, with a figure-of-eight chassis supported by a four-stud heel.
Whilst early shots of this' upcoming' release seemed to show a three-stud system in the heel before, the more traditional four-stud version shown here employs low-profile conical studs, which could make them the perfect boot for players who value the full-foot support of boots like the Copa Mundial, but prefer a more modern aesthetic.
Either way, we’re sure to find out soon enough – having this amount of players testing their new footwear out can only mean Nike are nearing the final round of player feedback!
Big thanks to Ramzi S, Alex B and DDChile for sending in these great spots and images!

RADAR 2017 RIGHT CARBITEX VAPOR BOOT -
The Vapor Boot
Vapor Boot is all new for 2017 with an amazing new material called Carbitex to offer the ultimate in light weight, responsive fit. When you mix this with our Boa Lacing system you have the most advanced, best fitting waterski boot on the market!! This perennial favorite among our pro team continues to progress the boundaries of high end ski footwear.
KEY TECH ON THE 2017 VAPOR BOOT
• The glass filled nylon reel and high strength polyethylene lace are bombproof in all skiing conditions. Dial in your fit.
• The Original Hybrid Ski Boot now upgraded with Carbitex - Reactive Wrap Construction.
• Dual Density Liner with Rigid Outer Foam
• Molded 3D Tongue
• Full Length Injected Orthotic Insole
• TPU Integrated Lace Cove
• PVC Free Construction
Lighter, Stronger, More Reactive
Our boot designs have always been focused on maintaining a solid line of communication between skier and ski, while never compromising on fit. Our latest material technologies, Carbitex and Reactive Wrap, have augmented this ethos, which has become synonymous with our line of footwear. The result is a remarkably improved line in both form and function. We have never been more excited for you to hit the water with a new pair of our boots and feel the difference.
Carbitex redefines technical performance in ski boots. Radar partnered with the American manufacturer, Carbitex, to create the future of high performance slalom footwear. A proprietary wet infusion process is utilized to penetrate carbon fiber with a multiple polymer system, optimizing the mechanical properties of this “CX6” composite. The resulting Carbitex Vapor boot is more responsive than a hard shell chassis due to the material’s low elongation and the soft shell creates an unparalleled fit. The CX6 panels on the boot are oriented on axis to maximize response independently from the cuff, forefoot, and toe box. We have continued to progress the limits of materials technology to create the ultimate connection with your ski.
An injected structural skeleton fused onto a base textile layer allows us to dictate the location and magnitude of energy that is driven into the ski from your lower appendages and improve the boots fit all at the same time. Level 2 on the Profile is going to be a bit more responsive, while the Level 1 Reactive Wrap on a Vector or Lyric will extend your time on the water with just the right amount of give and take.
Vapor Boot Key Features:
Pro Fit Chassis
The First Last To Last construction
True Fit Insoles
Optional Leverage Enhancement
Pro Fit Chasis
The Pro Fit Chassis is an asymmetrical race-ready fit designed to secure the foot into a solid position, creating a seamless connection to the ski as if it were an extension of you. It’s the optimal combination of support, stability and balance. Smooth flexibility from the articulating cuff plates gives easy knee movement fore and aft while the internal forefoot stabilizer plates send feedback into the ski.
Our exclusive partnership with Intuition gives you a heat moldable, lightweight, pre-formed fit like no other. Just heat our liners to 120 degrees Celsius at an Authorized Retailer for a custom fit unique to your foot. This custom fit is the standard for any type of performance footwear. Vapor liners were designed specifically for waterski use.
Support where it’s wanted and flexibility where it’s needed.
The Vapor boot is still the only water ski boot that is double lasted to deliver a perfect connection between your foot, the liner and the shell. A last is the aluminum cavity we build to replicate the foot geometry, which determines the shape, size and overall fit of your footwear. Radar Ski Boots develop ski specific lasts designed around the way a skier stands one footin front of the other. Double lasting means we first form the liner on a last for correct fit and stance of a skier’s foot and leg. The second last shapes the shell and creates the perfect fit between both components. This creates a boot free from hot spots or dead air space.
Vapor boots come with our signature insoles offering heel and arch support from the ergonomic orthotic heel cup and shank. Our custom design holds your foot in place during wake crossings and fast moving edge changes.

Footwear and Protective Gear
Almost every sport has some sort of unique footwear.
In ICE SOCCER, footwear with a well–defined, substantial toe–box is mandatory to prevent toe injuries when kicking the Boot'r. Regular winter footwear with treaded, lugged or ribbed soles (or hiking boots) can be worn for play on "dirty ice".
Not allowed are ice skates (ruin the Boot'r/not intended in the sport's design), "sneakers" (injury to toes) and footwear with cleats or spikes (injury to knees and ankles when turning).
Special shoe–boots (broomball shoes), designed for hi–traction on ice, are ideal for play either on new or "clean ice" or on "dirty ice" (if allowed by local league rules) because they provide greater stability, maneuverability and speed.
This footwear is available from Taylor Sports, LLC.
Protective gear is also standard for most team sports.
The mandatory protective gear for organized competitive ICE SOCCER play includes a helmet (such as a hockey helmet) designed to provide maximum side and back-of-head protection, and hard-cased elbow pads. The goalie requires additional gear: a face–mask on the helmet.
Additional optional equipment may be worn by players; knee pads, a hip girdle with tail-bone protection (similar to inline skating equipment or hockey pads with such protection), a face guard on the helmet, shin guards, wrist guards, and for the goalie, a chest protector (like that worn by a baseball catcher), shin guards, heavy duty knee pads and gloves.

Is a treadmill your go-to fitness partner? You probably asked yourself what is better on treadmill: incline or speed? After all, we want to optimise our workouts and get the most benefits.
Adding either incline or speed to treadmill routines is good, whether you’re a beginner or advanced runner. Experts agree that both can enhance caloric burn, endurance, leg strength and more. But choosing which is best depends on your fitness goals.
Are you preparing for a competition? Do you aim to build muscle? Or perhaps, you want to lose weight faster.
All these affect our treadmill settings and exercises.
Keep reading to learn what makes incline different from speed. Then, let’s match their distinct benefits to your health goals.
That way, you’ll know which of the two should be incorporated more into your routine.
What’s the Difference between Treadmill Incline and Speed?
Differentiating the two will help us answer the question of what is better on treadmill: incline or speed. Let’s compare them based on their advantages.
Most modern treadmills have adjustable incline levels in percentages. When you adjust it, the running deck surface will angle upward.
Walking or running at an incline pushes your legs to stride higher than usual, making your workout more challenging.
Each treadmill model has different incline settings. Some can go as high as 40%, like the NordicTrack X22i Incline Trainer. This model has a -6% decline for downhill training, too.
Adjusting the treadmill incline has several benefits, such as:
- toned lower-body muscles
- improved speed and endurance levels
- better workout level diversity
- enhanced caloric burn
Here’s an example to emphasise the benefits of incline on burning calories.
A 68-kg individual walking on a flat treadmill at 6 km/h can lose 8.5 calories per minute.
But adding a 5% incline at the same speed can boost his caloric burn to 10.2 calories per minute.
Any basic treadmill model has an adjustable speed feature. However, speed limits vary depending on the unit.
Like walking or running at an incline, a faster treadmill speed pushes your legs to work more. In turn, your heart rate increases, allowing you to burn calories.
Adjusting the treadmill speed also has several benefits like:
- higher heart rate and caloric burn
- improved stamina and endurance levels
- better performance at higher incline settings
- enhanced running cadence
What is Better on Treadmill: Incline or Speed?
Now that we know the difference between the two and their benefits, we can match these settings to your fitness capacity, goal and preference.
Here are some aspects to consider.
Add incline for weight loss
Increasing the intensity of your workout is key to successful weight loss. And you can quickly achieve this by adjusting your treadmill incline.
Compared with exercising on a flat deck, your body needs to work harder when walking or running uphill. The extra effort results in an increased heart rate, too.
In turn, these lead to caloric burn that you need to lose weight and body fat effectively. Moreover, you burn more calories as you increase your incline settings.
To understand this better, here’s a comparison table of an 83-kg person walking, jogging and running on a treadmill for 30 minutes.
|Walking (4.9 km/h)
|Jogging (8 km/h)
|Running (10.4 km/h)
Here, we can see that increased incline leads to more calories burned. When you adjust to a faster treadmill speed, calorie expenditure becomes higher, too.
These values further stress fitness experts’ advice that interval training or high-intensity bursts with low recovery periods help with weight loss.
Focus on speed for outdoor race preparation
If you’re an experienced runner, doing speed drills on a treadmill will increase your chances of winning a marathon. It can help boost your athletic confidence, too.
Speed drills can prepare your body for outdoor running with lower injury risk or muscle soreness.
One study showed that focusing on speed enhances the performance of distance runners.
Researchers of the same study also concluded that training values are better on a level-grade route than on uphill training.
Of course, the intensity and frequency of your speed drills depend on your sport or competition requirements.
But if you want to do this, the rule of thumb is to run faster than usual for a short interval.
For example, if your usual running pace is at 9 km/h, try increasing it to 12 km/h for 10 to 20 seconds.
Afterwards, go back to the 9 km/h setting for a 2-minute recovery time before boosting the speed again.
Alternatively, you can also stick to your usual running pace for an extended period.
For instance, work out at 9 km/h for 2 minutes before slowing down for a 2-minute recovery time.
Ideally, complement your treadmill runs with outdoor training to acclimatise your body to terrain and weather changes.
Go for incline training to build and tone muscles
The belt does most of the work for you when running fast on the treadmill. That means your muscles are not as active either.
However, the load on your leg muscles is different as you propel your body upward.
Incline walking or running results in higher leg muscle activation, particularly your glutes, hamstrings and calves.
You can try this by doing a quick walking pace at 5.6 to 6.4 km/h. Next, increase the incline to 5-7%. Hold on to the handrails for balance if needed.
But once you get used to it, let go of the handrails and swing your arms instead to keep your muscles engaged.
Create an incline interval routine when ready to make it more challenging.
If you’re a beginner, start at a slower pace with a moderate hill and flat recovery, then gradually progress.
(Don’t forget to check out our excellent page on how to improve your fitness routine with these 5 treadmill workout tips for beginners.)
Remember, working out with a high incline too soon might also result in injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis and knee pain.
Try training uphill to reduce the risk of injury
The good thing about using the treadmill incline is that you can intensify your workout while lessening the impact on your joints.
Incline training can help athletes recover while staying active. It’s also ideal for regular gym-goers who prefer using the treadmill for intense and low-impact exercises.
Exercising at an incline is also more controlled than running at fast speeds, which is safer for people with balance issues.
There are contraindications, though. For instance, incline training can exacerbate knee or lower back pain.
In this case, you might want to exercise on a lower incline or stop it for a while.
Both treadmill incline and speed are excellent workout add-ons. Specifically, they make monotonous routines more exciting and challenging.
However, these two elements produce different effects. And so, it’s a must to match your treadmill settings to what you want to achieve and what your body can do.
Whichever you choose, make sure to start slow and progress gradually. Give your body time to adjust to a new incline or speed level.
More importantly, avoid overdoing it. Try incline or speed training once or twice a week. Then, do it more frequently once your body is ready.
Are you looking for a new treadmill with the right speed and incline level? Check out my top treadmill selections and see which unit suits your fitness goals best.
Speed varies based on the treadmill model or brand. Budget-friendly treadmills, for example, have a top speed of 13 to 16 km/h (or 8-10 mph). Mid-range machines have a max speed of 19 km/h (or 12 mph). Still, others can go as fast as 24 km/h (or 15 mph). Your choice should depend on your tolerance and preferred workout.
2. Does walking on an incline burn belly fat?
Running on a treadmill for 30 minutes five days a week can lead to weight loss. When you complement this routine with consistency and a good diet, your belly will naturally shrink within 4 to 6 weeks. But if you adjust the incline, core muscle engagement and caloric burn become higher, too. Consider doing abdominal exercises on the treadmill as well to get toned abs.

Add color to your golf game
Bender Golf was created out of a simple idea of wanting more options for our golf gear. We were tired of seeing the same white gloves with brown belts and loved the thought of wearing color that could match our shirts, hats, or pants. We figured we weren't the only golfers who might feel this way, and so Bender Gloves was born!
We developed an idea that was aimed at golfers who were looking for gloves with some uniqueness and a bit of attitude! There simply wasn't anything that resembled "fun" when it came to golf gloves, so we took it upon ourselves to kick it up a notch by creating our color golf glove line.

Lag Shot: Will This Training Aid Fix Your Swing?
Lag Shot: An Overview of the Training Club That Promises Greater Distance, Improved Accuracy, and Perfect Timing
The latest buzz-worthy training aid on the market is a golf training club called Lag Shot.
This club promises to:
- Help you finally master proper golf club lag
- Create a smoother transition and better golf swing sequence
- Achieve solid contact with more consistency
- Enjoy better distance and accuracy
In short, the Lag Shot golf training aid promises to help golfers of all levels make the improvements they’ve always dreamed of making.
But how does it work? What’s the logic behind the design? And how is it different from other golf training aids?
We’ve got all those answers right here.
What is Lag Shot?
Lag Shot is a training club with the length, loft, and lie of a seven-iron. It features a black, wear-resistant club head and a blue, whippy shaft.
This training aid is designed to be used for practicing a range of shots, including drives, iron shots, and even wedge shots. You can use Lag Shot to simply practice your swing motion, or you can actually hit golf balls with it.
So . . . what’s the point of this training aid? Why the whippy shaft? How does that help?
It all comes down to one of the biggest buzz words in the game of golf: lag.
What Problem Does Lag Shot Solve?
Just about every amateur golfer dreams of mastering lag like a pro. Many golfers think of lag as the ultimate solution for increasing clubhead speed and getting maximum distance.
Unfortunately, it’s really, really difficult to get lag right. In fact, a lot of casual golfers are better off foregoing this skill altogether than suffering the consequences of bad lag timing.
What is Lag?
If you haven’t heard this term before, lag refers to a swing sequence that loads speed and power into the clubhead just before impact. Professional golfers use this technique a lot.
Here’s how lag works. The golfer drags the clubhead along behind the clubhead in the transition and downswing instead of swinging the clubhead out wide. They wait until the bottom of the swing to release the clubhead lag, whipping it through to strike the golf ball.
This whipping motion loads the clubhead with speed for maximum power at impact.
It’s a great skill to have if you can master it. But mastering it is not easy. Your entire swing is over in the blink of an eye. How are you supposed to make sure you’re releasing the clubhead at the perfect moment?
This is the problem Lag Shot promises to address.
How Does It Work?
With its ultra-flexible shaft, Lag Shot is designed to show you what masterful lag actually feels like. As you swing through, LagFlex Shaft technology guides the motion so you load the clubhead naturally.
In other words, this golf training aid forces you to fall into the proper sequence without any conscious adjustments. In theory, you learn what to do with your hands, arms, and body naturally.
Then, when you get the feel for proper lag in your body, you can find it again in your actual golf game.
Now, if this all sounds familiar, it’s because it should. A lot of other training aids already attempt to help golfers solve the same problem using similar techniques. Does Lag Shot actually offer something new?
Well, yes and no. There are other lag trainers in the golf market, notably the Orange Whip. In fact, the Orange Whip is a great product that we would also recommend, especially for warming up before a round.
But the big difference with the Lag Shot is that you can actually hit a ball with the club.
All we know is that the designers of Lag Shot say they’ve put their product through rigorous user testing and consulted PGA Professionals to create a golf swing trainer that would excel where others fell short.
We actually got a chance to use the Lag Shot, and used it in the video below.
How Do You Practice with Lag Shot?
You can use your Lag Shot with or without a golf ball. This is an added advantage for golfers who can’t make it out to the range as often as they’d like. You can still take a few swings at home every day and work on the big picture goal: training your body to execute a great swing motion.
Now, there are a few potential benefits to using a product like this to improve your golf swing.
First, it improves tempo, timing, and sequencing by teaching your body what a good golf swing feels like. Feel plays a huge role in our ability to learn and improve quickly.
Another plus is that practicing with Lag Shot is easier on the body than, say, running a ton of practice drills. The extreme flexibility of the club shaft promotes a tension-free transition and effortless downswing.
This brings us to our next question:
Who is It For?
According to the makers of Lag Shot, this club is for everybody. Golfers of all levels and ages—male and female—can reap the benefits of Lag Shot.
However, the designers also suggest that this training club might be especially beneficial for senior golfers, those with limited mobility, and anyone struggling with joint pain. In other words, anyone who may have given up on improving their swing because the physical strain was too much.
What Does It Cost?
So, that’s what Lag Shot does. Now, what does it cost?
Lag Shot currently sells for $119, and shipping is free. You have the choice between a left-handed or right-handed Lag Shot club. Your purchase also includes a Lag Shot video training series. The series is taught by Adam Bazalgette, a three-time PGA Teacher of the Year.
And what if it doesn’t help your game? There is a thirty-day money back guarantee.
The Big Picture
So, quick recap:
Lag Shot is a golf training club designed to help you improve your swing motion. It features a whippy club shaft that forces you to find proper timing, tempo, and sequencing naturally. This helps you master lag and hit longer, more accurate golf shots.
This training aid is for golfers of all levels and can be used with golf balls or on its own. It is currently priced at $119 with free shipping and a 30-day money back guarantee.
Do You Own a Lag Shot Training Club?
Does this training aid pique your interest? Or have you tried it already? Let us know in the comments if it helped your game! We’re curious to know more.
While it may not give you the perfect , it can help you build the proper lag in your . And that proper lag can help you improve your and increase your

PROs & CONs
What We Like About Merit 1
- Lightweight aluminum frame
- Shimano Claris 2×8 components
- Decent Tektro brake calipers
- Comfortable 28c tires
Points of Improvement
- Merit 2 and Merit 3 offer more for not much more money
- Some riders struggle with assembly
I love doing reviews of cheap road bikes because I can show that cycling is not an elitist sport reserved for those who have a lot of money to spend on it. Raleigh Merit 1 is proof that you can get a decent, aluminum road bike with quality Shimano components at a very affordable price.
Of course, more money will always get you more quality, better components, lower weight, and better design. But, a beginner rider does not need much more than Merit 1. This bike looks expensive, has a reasonable weight of 22.6 lbs, and offers plenty of comfort for entry-level riders who are not used to the unforgiving geometry of road bikes.
Even though Raleigh Merit 1 costs just $750, it still has some great features to offer to its future owners. This bike is cheap, but it’s not cheaply made. There are some things that I like very much and others that I am not too stoked about, so let’s check them out.
Intended for: Raleigh Merit 3 is the perfect road bike for mid-level riders who want to go on long group rides, do structured training, and improve their cycling fitness capabilities.
Aluminum Frame In 6 Sizes
Merit 1 is an entry-level road bike with an aluminum frame. It’s built using the famous 6061 double-butted custom formed tubing, which is most often seen on bikes in this price range.
In my opinion, the frame has an excellent geometry, oriented towards comfort and longer rides. The difference between the saddle and the handlebar is not extreme, so you will have a more upright position on it.
As I said, the total weight of the bike is around 22 lbs, which is great for a $600 bike. Moreover, it’s effortless to find the correct size for your height since Merit 1 is available in 6 sizes. Most bike manufacturers offer 4-5 sizes, so this is a big advantage for Raleigh.
Here is a short size guide for Raleigh Merit 2:
|52 cm||5’4″ – 5’7″|
|54 cm||5’7″ – 5’9″|
|56 cm||5’9″ – 5’11”|
|58 cm||5’11” – 6’0″|
|60 cm||6’0″ – 6’3″|
|62 cm||6’3″ – 6’5″|
When it comes to cheap bikes, people are usually worried that low price also means low quality.
Unfortunately, this is sometimes true. But, you can easily check if that’s the case by looking at components, which is where bike manufacturers usually make savings.
That’s not the case with Raleigh Merit 1, which has Shimano Claris components, which are of very decent quality.
This is an entry-level groupset, so you should not expect to win any races with it, but you can use it for years on regular recreational and fitness rides.
It offers you 16 speeds on a 2×8 drivetrain, which is also great since I am not a big fan of 3x drivetrains on road bikes. I think the third cog is unnecessary and just adds weight. Sixteen speeds are more than enough to get you anywhere.
Wide Tires And Good Brakes
A lot of more expensive road bikes have 700x23c or 700x25c tires. However, these are intended for more experienced riders who can keep their balance at higher speeds.
Instead, Raleigh Merit 1 has 700x28c tires which are much more suitable for beginner riders, in my opinion.
They will allow you to go fast on the flats, but they will provide you with added stability and grip when cornering and when riding in the rain. Moreover, they increase comfort as well, as to absorb road vibrations better.
When it comes to braking, you will have Tektro dual-pivot calipers and Shimano Claris STI brake levers at your disposal. We are seeing disc brakes becoming more and more popular in road biking, but they would increase the price on this set up too much.
Moreover, brake calipers are enough for entry-level riders who do not do a lot of high-speed descending. Plus, they keep the weight down.
Other Raleigh Merit Models:
Raleigh Merit 2 is very similar to Merit 1. However, it comes with several crucial differences that are worth the extra price.
Namely, the biggest difference between these two models is that Merit 2 comes with Shimano Sora components.
Moreover, it has a better set of Alex AT505 rims and a better pair of Kenda K-193 Wire Bead tires. Other than that, everything else is the same. But, these improvements can make a big difference on the road.
To whom: Raleigh Merit 2 is an excellent choice for riders who have added $250 to spend and need a few better specs because they plan to ride in wet conditions or do a lot of climbing and descending.
Raleigh Merit 3 has some significant differences compared to Merit 1, but it’s also a lot more expensive.
If you decide to spend $1,600 on this model, you will get a lightweight carbon fork, Shimano 105 components (which are a lot better than Claris), a 2×11 drivetrain, mechanical disc brakes, and upgraded tires and rims. All in all, the price is significantly higher, but you get a considerably better bike as well.
