On Sunday the 21st December, we joined forces with HWF Fitness and Stay Dialled Run Club for a Hylo Demo Event with a festive twist! It was great to collaborate with two local run groups to host a massive Bedminster run. Plus we got Hylo involved to demo the incredibly comfortable Hylo Impact!

A big thank you to Carlos from Hylo for bringing along so many shoes for us to test and to the HWF Fitness and Stay Dialled Run Club leaders for co-leading the run! We did a 4 mile run around the harbour to demo the Hylo Impact and everyone who wanted to test a pair was able to.

We met at the HWF Fitness gym here in Bedminster where everyone had the chance to pick up a pair of shoes to test. Once everyone was kitted out in the latest Hylo trainers we set off on the run. It was a nice morning for it and everyone was in good spirits. We ended the run at Boona Boona coffee shop for some well-deserved post-run coffee and pastries from another local Bedminster business!

With it being December we incorporated a Christmas twist and encouraged everyone who attended to wear some fancy dress. We even had a prize for best dressed with the winner wearing an impressive Santa costume!

Founded with a vision to merge performance with sustainability, Hylo Athletics are committed to offering runners a responsible running shoe choice that doesn’t compromise on quality or style.

The British brand utilise recycled materials and innovative fabric technologies that minimise environmental impact but still delivers comfort, durability and optimal performance. A dedication to transparency and ethical manufacturing ensures every Hylo product purchased supports a more sustainable future.

As a recent start-up, Hylo currently only offer one model of shoes, the Impact, which we stock at Kinisi Run Hub and the shoes we trialled at the event. These are the everyday road running shoes getting the brand established in a highly competitive market (keep an eye out for some future shoes from the brand next year!).

The Hylo Impact incorporates a lightweight, eco-friendly design with a knitted upper made from bio-based nylon and a water-repellent DWR coating. The midsole is both responsive and stable through its geometry and medial side wall. An insole made with 20% bio-based foam offers enhanced comfort and support while the outsole, inspired by Formula 1 tyres, ensures optimal traction even in wet conditions. Ribbed laces reduce slip and increase durability. Runners of all levels will appreciate the performance, comfort and sustainable nature of this shoe. 

This shoe is proof that nature can perform. Enjoy a perfect balance of cushioning and responsiveness for those everyday miles. 

Once again thank you very much to both HWF Fitness and Stay Dialled Run Club for collaborating with us for our Hylo Demo Event. Plus a big thank you to Carlos from Hylo for bringing the shoes! Kinisi Run Hub are proud to work with such great brands and support so many amazing local running clubs!

We are already planning more events with HWF Fitness and Stay Dialled Run Club in 2026 so stay tuned for updates!
