Early Adoption Program for Running Shoes
Is there any sort of early adoption program that vendors offer for running shoes? The reason I ask is that in my case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm running a marathon at the end of May. Saucony is releasing the Kinvara 3 just two weeks before. I'd love the upgrade to the shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but two weeks is not a great amount of time to break in a shoe for a Marathon (in my opinion). So, it got me thinking. I wondered if any shoe manufacturer releases shoes to a "beta" group earlier on so they can get feedback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reviews, etc.
Are you aware of any or are you aware of a sporting goods store (running warehouse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dicks sporting goods, etc) that offer some sort of program?
I doubt you'll have much luck with a vendor. I happen to work for a seller of running shoes and it is incredibly rare that we get stock of new generation styles well in advance of when we're allowed to sell them. Occasionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we may get a single pair to evaluate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that usually comes with pretty strict guidelines about the distribution or access to that sample pair.
Your best bet is going to be to go to the manufacturer directly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I expect. Those athletes with sponsorship deals generally have access to the new generation shoes prior to their street availability precisely for reviews,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], feedback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.
The Kinvara 3 is scheduled to be released on May 1st at the Boston Marathon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], depending on how close to the end of May your marathon is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that might give you an extra week or so to break them in. Based on the updates to this generation, it doesn't appear that the break-in period will be that much different than that of the Kinvara 2, so if you're familiar and comfortable with that shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should be able to gauge.
Not really a direct answer to your question,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but hopefully it helps: I never break in race shoes more than a week or two. My protocol for new shoes: wear them around the house the night I buy them. Take them for a shortish run (3-5 miles). Then take them for a longish run (10 miles). And you're done.
I agree that you probably won't get shoes early from the vendor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unless you are sponsored by them. If they are going to be released at Boston,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], something to do would be to find someone who is in Boston that week, and have them grab you up a pair or two, and Fed-Ex them to you.
