The 7 Worst Running Gear I've Ever Bought

😫The Hoka Bondi X, Nike Invincible 3, and Decathlon Carbon Kip Run were the worst running shoes I've ever purchased due to issues with heel slip and lack of comfort.

🔦The Petzl Neo Plus head torch is heavy, uncomfortable, and not very bright. I recommend the Petzl Swift RL as a better alternative.

🔌💬The Power Dot muscle stimulation device was ineffective and expensive. I found more success with a vibrating foam roller like the Hyperice Vyper Go.

💼The NormaTec Go compression boots caused severe calf pain and were not as effective as the larger NormaTec boots.
