Amber on day 5 of Trans Rockies Run. Broken(?) hand, cut knee and “crazy socks.” (and Avia AVI Stoltz trail racing shoes ) Too bad the event was “too short - really got going after 3 days…”

Conrad Stoltz talks about Stuffitts

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I had long forgotten about the impromptu interview/chat at XTERRA Alabama with Mike Huebner from Stuffitts.
This morning I accidentally spotted a @Stuffitts Tweet. Mike has been a busy man, he edited and managed to create a coherent video clip from the couple of hours we chatted at the Oak Mountain State Park.
Considering I literally ran [...]

Monday, May 17th, 2010

And it comes in cool new colours that matches the weeds in our garden! The only change we made from the “old” shoe, other than the colour (duh) is a firmer mid sole. (65 Shore A Density) Read  here about the thought process, (Cave people DO think!) and development which went into this unique shoe. [...]

My dad is right- one can count a humans’ age like a tree- by the number of rings it has.  My dad says he is at the age where you can count the rings around his knees. One can count the number of USA XTERRA Titles I have won by the [...]

Avia Avi Stoltz Xterra Racing Shoe
After the traction disaster that my wife and I both suffered during the Granite Bay Duathlon, we went looking for a shoe with better traction that qualified as a racer. We both have significantly [...]

Rich Cruse was my boss for 10 minutes

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I met sports photographer Rich Cruse at my 1st XTERRA- Richmond VA 2001.
Since then we have become close friends, but also we managed to do a lot of business together. He would shoot pics at races and make me look good- not an easy task- and I would offer it to the press and sponsors [...]

Customizing your Avia AVI Stoltz for mud…

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Special conditions calls for special measures. I modified my Avia AVI STOLTZ Caveman style…

Step 1: Buy a handful of 1/2 inch screws with big heads.
Step 2: [...]

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Behold the new Avia AVI STOLTZ!
I’m super excited. The moment I got the shoes I test ran them into the Dallas sunset. As I stood there on the levee, I marveled at the full moon rising over the skyscrapers of downtown Dallas and I realized: “This is my proudest moment of the year.” “This shoe, [...]
