In Episode 11 of the Kicksology podcast, show host Brian Metzler welcomes Sam Winebaum of RoadTrailRun.com and Thomas Neuberger of BeliveInTheRun.com to talk about the best running shoes coming out in 2021. They talk about new models from big and small brands, new midsole foams, carbon fiber plates, emerging trends and how to go about finding the best pair of shoes for you as you start training for what we hope will be a return to racing in 2021. Metzler is the author of the book, "Kicksology: The Hype, Science, Culture and Cool of Running Shoes" and a long-time runner who has competed in races on the track, roads and trails from 50 meters to 100 miles. In each episode of Kicksology, Metzler engages shoe designers, entrepreneurs, shoe company executives, retailers, athletes and physical therapists to talk about the evolution of running shoes, new shoe launches, breakthrough technologies, the biomechanics of running and everything else running-shoe related.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
