Tip of the Week: Short Foot
A while back, when I was working through some pain on the bottom of my left foot, a chiropractor showed me this simple exercise for strengthening the foot. It's called "short foot," and I do it all the time now. You can do it while you're doing dishes, doing laundry, brushing your teeth—anytime you're barefoot on a clean surface. Shrink the foot, pause for a few seconds, and release, for stronger feet and fewer injuries. Watch this video to see how it's done.

Product Highlights
Vomero 8: More Bounce to the Ounce
The new Nike Vomero 8 provides the light feel and secure fit of a sleek go-fast shoe with all the cushioning fans have come to expect from this mainstay of our "Neutral Maximum" silo. Carried-over from previous editions, full-length Cushlon and zoom air units in the heel and forefoot provide a soft, yet responsive ride. "Dynamic Fit" over the saddle wraps and secures the foot, and a no-sew interior minimizes potential hotspots. Our initial reaction to the Vomero 8 suggests a little less volume in the toebox this time around.

April Showers, Kinvara Flowers
Not straying too far from it's beloved predecessor, the new Kinvara 4 is looking like yet another winner from Saucony. A streamlined, more flexible upper combines with an upgraded cushioning platform in the heel to give the Kinvara an even smoother ride. In footwear fashion, it all starts from the ground up. PRC is the place to get the Kinvara in all the hottest colors! With so many flavors of the shoe hitting our shelves, there's one for every taste.

New! Nike Elite Armband
The new Nike Elite Performance Armband is a super lightweight and comfortable option for runners who carry a phone or media player. This is a durable armband that protects phones and media players from moisture yet maintains touch screen accessibility. Seamless construction helps prevent chafing. A Velcro fastener provides a personalized fit to the upper arm. Cord-management keeps you from getting tangled up. For men and women.
Elite Armband: $35.00 @PRC
