Sturdy and versatile is always the way to go. Salewa's Ultra Train 2 shoes combine the sleek form factor of running shoes and the durability of climbing approach shoes. They’re sturdy and good-looking enough to wear as a casual shoe. wired.trib.al/laIhKh2 📷: Salewa 2/

Ready to run like a pro? 14 North Face athletes set FKTs wearing different versions of the Vectiv. The North Face Vectiv incorporates proprietary foam and a carbon-fiber plate which has been shown to increase mile times. wired.trib.al/evWQe6o 📷: Ivey Photography Studio 3/

If you're looking for an open toe option, the Zero Shoes Z Trail are light and flexible--they barely feel like shoes at all making them perfect for all your summer adventures. wired.trib.al/qnWLXam 📷: Xero Shoes 4/

Workouts can be unpredictable, so be prepared for anything. The Ötillö Swimrun can go from the trail to the beach to lunch downtown. Beware, they don’t provide much support though. wired.trib.al/nbkhThP 📷:Vivobarefoot 5/

Running shoes aren’t always the most fashion forward; however, the Nike Wildhorse 7 are some of the best looking shoes on the market. They're light, breathable and offer a decent amount of traction making them a solid option. wired.trib.al/x8mdIlm 📷: Nike 6/

Struggling to remember important things? You may not get as good as multi-time Memory Champion Nelson Dellis, but even a little bit of the strategies the pros use can go a long way. Here's a step-by-step guide to improving your memory: wired.trib.al/oF9mNZm [THREAD] 1/6

1. Start With Strong Images
Attach what you want to remember to a particularly strong image. The best are the ones you can almost feel, smell, and see to engage multiple senses and encourage your brain to store the memories. 2/6

2. Put Those Images in a Location
Now place those strong images throughout a location you know well—like your house. The weirder the better. This is called a memory palace, and how you place them can help you memorize things in order. 3/6

At night, all kinds of animals migrate up to the shallows to forage, and when the sun rises, they swim back down again—a great big conveyor belt of biomass that most of us never get the chance to see. wired.trib.al/5S74D8g 1/

But now a spy swims among them: Mesobot. 2/

In the journal Science Robotics, a team of engineers and oceanographers share how they got a new autonomous underwater vehicle to lock onto movements of organisms and follow them around the ocean’s “twilight zone.” 3/

On February 6, Jeffrey Fang became the ire of the internet when he left his kids in a van to chase a thief who stole his phone.

It never would have been a story if the van hadn’t then been carjacked. wired.trib.al/L7t68zZ 1/5

Fang was a DoorDash delivery driver, but even a top earner like him would have his profits washed out by a babysitter. So on this particular night, his kids were along for the ride. 2/5

On one such delivery, a thief stole his phone and dove into a getaway car. His phone was his moneymaking tool. So he chased after it. 3/5
