Comments

I think the Osma3 is going to be a great shoe. It looks good and the sole design appears to be a significant improvement over the previous version. The Vasko has potential as a good fall/winter/spring running shoe, however we will reserve judgement either way until we have tried it. It will be interesting to see how well it breathes and how the sole fares in the more extreme conditions for which it was designed.

We are supposed to be getting some in for review. As soon as we have more hands-on details, we will be sure to let you know.

Availability

The expected release for these new models is early October 2012. In addition to the usual online shops who carry the Feelmax line, Fastway - an online retailer based out of Finland - will be selling and shipping them worldwide.
