What shoes you wearing now and what next?

The Black Oil · 01-07-2020 9:00pm

Looking for another pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19. Seems hard to find online - most are either out of stock, don't have my size or have moved onto the 20. Is it risky to jumping for the 20s if I've been very happy with the 19s?

These are been sold on Ebay for up to €500 they must be faster than the Alphafly

Reasonable selection of sizes available there.

I have been wearing Adrenalines since the 14, quite a change when they got rid of the medial post and moved to guide rails but you do get used to them. I fould little or no difference between the 19 & 20, the 20 mighe be just a tad narrower in the forefoot than the 19 but it's minimal.

Ordered the NB Fuelcell Propel, €72! Coming to the end of my 3rd pair of Reebok Floatride Energy.

Need a change from the Floatride for a while.

Interested to know how you get on with those. I picked up a pair in Kildare Village before everything kicked off. Nice shoe but I’ve had a fierce issue with the collar cutting into the outer ankle bone if I wore them for longer runs. Still haven’t sorted that myself (admittedly, haven’t really read how to fix it either!!)

I had a pair of the propels and found the sizing odd, the size 8 felt short and the 8.5 was too long, so stuck with the 8 and wore thin socks. They are a great shoe and i think i got about 350 miles out of them before they started to feel very flat as if the foam had lost its bounce.

Thanks Glencarraig. Size 10s seem hard to come by. I know there are some on Amazon, but the price has gone up and I want a different colour. :P I'll consider the 20s.

19s served me well.

Just a general mileage shoe for me - a bit heavy compared to others, but at some of the paces I'm doing my easy runs at (8+) , they work for me.

No pop in them, if you want a shoe for easy miles that'll last for ever, then these are your man.

I was expecting epic layers of cushioning - but no - just a robust running shoe.

Best shoes for speedwork?

(200's/400's/500's)

Spikes if you're doing them on the track

Would like to avoid spikes!

I'd say any racer or fast shoe that you are comfortable in is fine. I'll normally use Nike Zoom Fly or Adidas Adizero for most my sessions. I got the Saucony Endorphin Speed last week but I haven't used them yet

Zoomfly flyknit or adizero for me. Takumi sen were a nice surprise for faster stuff too.

As an aside, epic react flyknit 2 on Nike App for 74 quid with SUMMER30 code.

Cheers for that.

Did you find much of a difference between the 1 and 2?

I found the 2 much plusher on the heel - same feel on the run though.
Great shoe all the same - a real all rounder.

Actually scratch that - I'm getting mixed up with the Epic React Legend - which has the plusher heel.

My 2 other pairs are actually 2's

Jaysus - I've too many pairs of 'everyday' runners.

It's been scientifically proven that you can never have too many pairs of everyday runners.

MIne are landing from Nike tomorrow, got them in the sale for €70

For speed workouts, I have the Saucony fastwich (SP), love them

How do people find the Reebok floatride energy and floatride run fast?
I am not if I find them too spongy especially the floatride run fast which is their flat running shoe.

Tried the brooks hyperion(old) and asteria but not sure. What do people here prefer?

Picked these up in the 30% off sale - got them for €38 and find them great. Very like the peg turbo maybe not as light. Brilliant everyday run shoe for the price.

I just got a pair for €45 and looking forward to running in them as my Daily trainer.
I also have a pair of the Run Fast's and use them for races up to half marathon. I think they are a great shoe but i did have to change he insole (nike peg 35) as the one them came with were very thin and kept creasing and giving me a blister.

I have the Floatride energy and find them to be a reliable daily trainer for easy, steady or long runs. A bit lighter than Brooks Ghost but not as light as Nike pegs.
