What shoes you wearing now and what next?

Cartman78

Maybe we should have a dedicated Nike thread at this stage

Have a couple of pairs of Pegasusususes on the go now and have been alternating them with a trusty pair of NB 880's for regular runs but the 880's seem to have vanished recently ()

Anyway, is there much of a difference between the Epic Reacts and the Pegasus? Anyone wear both? The price point is tempting I have to say

Tried on my new epic Reacts yesterday but haven't run in them yet. First impressions are they are very different to the pegasus most notably flyknit. Will update when I run in the epic react.

yeah very different feel to both. I have barely worn the Pegasus since I've got the Epic Reacts, but I know a couple of people who have found the Epic React a little unsupportive around the heel and maybe the cushioning a little too soft. Yeah there is a bit of a Nike love-in on this thread, of which I have contributed massively to :rolleyes:

Yeah but eBay so there wasn't many. He's one left in size 11.5 I think:

I know skyblue loves it

On the epic reacts I'm a little apprehensive after trying them on whether they'll be a good general miles runner but we'll see. The heel was a bit "rubby " but hard to tell until you do a run on them.

Thinking of trying out New Balance. Looking for a cushioned pair for easy miles ideally under €80

Any recommendations? I'm not too bothered if its brand new or older model

Bought a pair of Pegs 35 on Nike's website using the code JAN20 for €77. They had the 36s for the same price but I preferred the 35s. Probably my favourite easy miles shoe

The women's equivalent are coming in at €67 with free shipping. It seems madness to leave them there at that price.

Anyone tried the Pegasus Zoom Turbo 2's? Just picked up a pair and curious to see what people make of them.

I like them. Lot of reviews say not as good as the previous edition of them. They are lighter than the Pegasus. I haven't used them in a session but I use them on longer easy runs.

Picked up a pair of Kinvara 10s for €72. 11s are out soon so big price drops on the 10s at the moment on a few sites

For those that have purchased the next % or vaporfly, how much of an improvement over 10k have ye noticed?
Thanks

I ordered a pair of Pegasus 36 on 26th Dec, the delivery was due 3rd Jan. They didn't arrive. I logged into my account and went on and used their online chat today, i was told my order was still in prepping stage they would escalate. I never had this problem before with Nike. I am now waiting on new e-mail with delivery info.

I have gone on a couple of runs in these, and I am impressed, they’re very comfortable and lightweight and a great fit too around the foot.

Not really a 10k shoe. I don't use them for anything other than marathons. Have found them to be beneficial.

Thanks for your thoughts. Imagine they're more beneficial for the longer distance alright. There's probably a cut off point where the come into their own.

I saw a bloke run a 14:25 in them on the track in a race I was in. Out paced lots of blokes with race flats and spikes on.

I can 2nd last in my Saucony Fastwitch. A lightweight pack shoe I really like

Bought Reebok Floatride Run Fast last week. Did a easy run in them straight out of the box. Looking forward to training/racing in them alternating between them and Streak 6. On my second pair of Forever Floatride Energy. The new 2.0 look a lot better. Will purchase them in the summer time I’d say.

A hidden gem, on my 2nd pair and 2 more in the stash, can be picked up for c. €60's from time to time.
I find it difficult to consider wearing other runners and nearly have to force myself to.

Never heard of them, for sale at 64 euro on reebok site.
Tempted, much support?

Does anyone know of somewhere in Dublin you can try the Next% on? I tried them on before in Elverys on Henry Street, but they dont seem to have them on the site anymore.

Wouldn't class as a support shoe, more for faster stuff, but if you're pretty efficient they have a great range and durability. I retired 1 pair at north of 600 miles, more because I felt I should, rather than had to, only signs of wear are the fabric beginning to frey at the top of the heel counter.

I'm intrigued! I can't really tell from the website if they are a daily trainer or a racer? I'm in the market for new shoes and at €64 I am tempted. Typically I train in the Pegasus as my daily trainer but they've gotten very expensive. Don't want anything too ligh for my daily running.

I was tempted too but there seems to only be size 6.5 left :-(
