What shoes you wearing now and what next?

nellocono

Hi Folks,
I always am interested in what other runners are wearing and I always tend to look at others shoes in races...:D

Just wondering, what shoe are you wearing now, your reason for wearing it and what you plan on purchasing next?

Cheers.

Brooks best on the market. Got a pair of Ravennas half price down from €120 on sportshoesuk.com

ASICS don’t even come close, last much longer for running

The UK site is showing some Speeds in stock at the moment..

https://www.saucony.com/UK/en_GB/men%27s-endorphin-speed/44573M.html?dwvar_44573M_color=S20597-10&icid=search_suggested_products

I had ordered from them a few weeks ago but then got an email the next day saying sorry they were not in stock but worth a try if they have your size.
After failing ordering directly I bought from Runnerswarehouse in the US and used AddressPal, took two weeks for delivery but zero duties!

As for the runners, absolutely class, coming from years of various Adios and Bostons it's a big change (felt fairly unstable at first given i've never had anything but low stack heights) but once you get dialed in they're great.

Saucony uk is saying sold out for the Speeds.
Runningwarehouse USA says it will dispatch in October !!
I'll just hang on..
I managed a slow 26.2 miler last week in the Peg 35's...

I wore Ravenna 5 and 7's, they were lovely..Didn't like the 9's, used them as everyday shoes..all of them last for ages !
I have had 2 pairs of different Asics, didn't enjoy either..

I ordered one of the Indestructible Shoes...

Pure chance from an online ad, but anyone have any luck with them?

I really liked the Merrell shoes I got back in 2018, but they are breaking now after lots of wear.

Quality shoes though.

I have my eye on a Saucony pair, but they're at £98 now, seeing if they come down in price.

It was a friend that recommended the brand to me recently.

Do you all find them good?

Could I ask you, with addresspal you just pay an post 15 euros for a US address, get the runners shipped to the fake address and get free US shipping.
I was going to buy the endorphin pro but its additional 30 dollars for shipping and probably customs on top of that

Yup, I paid 155 dollars for the Endorphin Speeds, no delivery charge to the New Jersey AddressPal address and then 15 euros for AddressPal. I ordered on the 11th July and delivered on the 24th. Got lucky with no duty but even if I got charged duty would have worked out around the same total price all in.

The new range seems to be back on sale in the UK Saucony site.

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

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

So have ran a bit in the Nike Milers and I now have an ingrown toenail. Not sure if these have caused it but only thing that has changed for me running wise. I thought the toe box seems a big tight on the top but not to either side. Heading to a podiatrist next week anyway, will see what they reckon for the toe

Did you order your normal sizing, I am tempted to get these to replace my Hoka Carbon X. I usually take a size 8 (42.5) in Nike and 8.5 (42.66) in Hoka.

Yeah..to tell the truth I didn't even consider sizing..i always wear a 9 ( in Nikes also) but could possibly of got away with an 8.5..i haven't ran in these yet but feel roomy, which I like..seem to lock down ok also..

Adidas Adizero pro

I've them in navy, I was given them as a gift. I haven't worn them yet. Lots of mixed reviews on them. It will be interesting to see how they compared to Sacouny Endorphin Speed

What's the best top range fast marathon shoe at the moment?

Vapourfly next % and flyknit 4% are like gold dust, same with Adios pros.

Then there are the Adizero Pros and Hyperion Tempos too, I haven't kept up with Asics /Saucony / NB so don't have a clue.

Switching between 2 pairs of Epic React 2s at the moment for training but I'd really like a race day shoe if anyone has any recommendations to try out. I like the look of the Adizero and decent reviews, I'd prefer to stick with the Nikes above but can't get any of the above in my size (uk11) (I also love their return policy if sizing is wrong). Any other recommendations?

I have both the next% and Saucony Pro and I much prefer the saucony to run in. All reviews when comparing the two place them as very little between them.
I found the next% fast but not near as comfortable to run in, they don’t feel as stable and I found over a marathon they are a lot harder on your calf muscles, haven’t ran a marathon in the saucony pro yet but over a half distance I love them.
The adizero are not a direct like for like against the next% or Pro, that’s the Adios Pro which isn’t out yet.
If you go on YouTube you get reviews comparing all the brands together and all seem to put the next and Saucony very close together but way ahead of the rest.

Thanks Freddie. I'll check them out!

Picked up a pair of Saucony Endorphin Shift from UK and wore them for the first time today. Really comfortable but also responsive. Tired legs today but comfortable from the getgo

Ended up grabbing a pair of Nike Zoom Fly Flyknits from the Edge Sport Shop, Cork. Waiting on delivery

Best runners for stability? Want a change form kayano

Slideways

Mizuno Waveriders. They’re pretty stiff and should keep your foot stable
