Hmm. Endorphin vote being split here while Nike enjoys catch-all category!

We'll just combine the Saucony at the end 😉

To be fair the love of Vaporfly Next% and Alphafly isn't unique to Boards

I’m just glad that the hoka vote means “there will be a winner” 😁 can’t be a 50/50 result now

This is very true. It was more the grouping of the shoes I was on about....sure it was like an open goal to me and I couldn't refuse the kick 🤣

As for the shoes it looks like '23 could have a few shoes that will be 'fly beaters for some. The new Mizuno and Saucony Pro Elite are genuine contenders. There's also a sneaky underdog from Xtep, a Chinese brand.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best all rounder and greatest shoe of all time belongs to Saucony in my mind.

Best racer is Nike tho.

Disagree on the Allrounder (hoka) and the racing shoe (anything but Nike) 😁

Swashbuckler

Have you worn the endorphins though?

babacool

No. Have you worn the supersonic though? 😁

Swashbuckler

Haha yep...👎

Has nobody any love for New Balance? I tried most of the others but keep coming back to NB. The new Fuelcell SC Elite 3 is a great shoe. Have just ordered the Supercomp trainer also.

The SC Elite in my view anyway is as good as any of the Nikes or Endorphins

Lots of love for NB. The TC were one of my favourites for a long while. Ive never worn the SC Elite. Purely comparing Pro and Speed vs TC and RC Elite and the endorphins win that one for me.

Really? Surprises me 😁 (the yea I tried them). In that case… I can’t disagree with you and that’s ok 🙂 I’ll take your word for it and just run in the second best allrounder
