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.

Adidas Ultra Boost. The most comfortable shoe Ive ever owned. Been wearing them for over 2 years now and gone through 2 pairs

Decent enough deal on Sports Direct at the moment with the code Autumn20. 20% off. NB 1080 to be had at a decent price. Good chunk off the Adizero Pro too.

Cheers... Pegasus 37 there in a reasonable spread of sizes for €96. I can't justify getting them just yet though

I have about 200 miles on mine now and you wouldn't know it apart from the dirt. Amazing shoe. Ran a tempo yesterday and an easy long run today in them. They're great for both.

Same, 225m on mine and they're like new.
The only drawback is I can't go easy in them.
Have ordered the Shift for easier days

I've run in pegasus for years but too many changes over recent versions have made them unrecognisable. On top of that I've had some plantar fasciitis issues, bit of googling has led me to Brooks Ghost and I really like it, about 300 miles in.
I also wanted sth afor faster sessions and gave the Hoka Cliftons a shot. The first 3 or 4 runs felt strange, just didn't like them. Persevered and now I love them, they feel light and bouncy.

My plan was to get my gait analyzed but now we are in level 5 i am going to wait until new year. I was looking at the Saucony Kinvara 11 before and i moved to the Nike zoom fly's - decisions, decisions.

Haven't wore them but a couple of lads in the club have. A stripped down, lighter version of the Adios Boost by all accounts. A proper racing flat and if you liked the Adios Boost, which I know you do , then wouldn't be a bad purchase. One of the lads wore them for a marathon and said he wouldn't wear them again over that distance.

This turned out to be completely accurate! They got their first outing today. One for the Adidas purists for sure. Love them. Not a marathon shoe for me anyway. Wouldn't wear them beyond maybe a HM.

I got the pro when they were first released. Sorry!

From a recommendation on here I picked up the other two a few months apart from startfitness

I’ve now completed the endorphin collection.

No more shoe buying for a while. I promised Mrs Slideways. :eek:

Were the Pro a recent purchase? If so, where?

Can anyone recommend a good trainer for running in the now rainy weather?

I’d be in favour of Reebok/Adidas but open to more. Would only run 5km-10km a day outside on path surface.

If there’s a thread anywhere for winter gear, a link would be great. I did try a search.

Thanks

Most people just wear there regular trainers even in wet conditions. While there are some shoes that offer some extra weather protection, unfortunately any shoe that stop water getting in through the fabric willl stop water getting out through it as well, and will also be less breathable.

It might be best to have a few pairs on rotation, and make sure to take out the inner insole when you're drying them, this will help to stop them stinking up the place later on

I have had injury niggles since I bought the Endorphin speeds, I felt good today, got a decent 5k time, felt lovely nice bounce out of them..
Not sure if they are as fast as the 4%s though..

Waiting on Saucony Pergrines for the trails.
I have fallen in love with Saucony trainers, Kinvara 11's for my everyday runs..love them.

The peregrines won’t disappoint. I have them and the Brooks Cascadia and the Saucony piddle all over the brooks

Don’t have the speeds. Have the Pro and the shift. Did a fun run mara in the shift and pulled up relatively well considering I was injured before I started and had done hardly any training for it. Reckon the cushioning and toe off saved me

Asics trail runners going cheap on the outlet website. I've gone for Fujitrabuco 7s for 70, here's hoping they fit ok.

Missed the boat on the Endorphin Pro's. Sold out. Will have to wait.

Got 300 KM up on my Endorphin Speeds and still loving them, best pair of runners I've ever owned, had to treat myself to a pair of Endorphin Pros!

Just got some Speeds but haven’t run in them yet. Have a pair of Shifts and love them

Probably a thread in itself but how does the Saucony stack up vs Nike/Adidas/Asics/Hoka/NB equivalents? Ive been told my xmas present this year will be one of the above so decisions decisions!

Seth James DeMoor on youtube has a shoe matrix on alot of these shoes..and probably individual reviews of these shoes.

I really enjoy his videos (and jealous!)

Well if it's a carbon plate shoe you wan then it's hard to beat any of the next % models for racers unless you are ideologically opposed to Nike and their ethics. I think other brands are still playing catch up. I've only raced up to 10km in them

It's the price tag moreso than idealogical reaaons!

On the racers or training versions? On the training version I prefer the Nike Zoomfly FK I've got the new Nike tempo but I haven't used it yet, I'll reportback when I do. My second choice training shoe would be the Adidas adizero pro it has mixed reviews. It feels a bit more solid not as springy as the Zoomfly. I have the Saucony endorphin Speed and it comes with great reviews but I'm not gone on it. One of my dislikes of this shoe is the lack of purchase on wet conditions, maybe it will grow on me in time. For racers I prefer the Alphafly Next% to the Vaporfly Next% but I people who returned their Alphaflys but love the Vaporfly

More specifically the racers I guess. I think I have plenty of training shoes between Adizero Adios, Zoomfly FK, Adizero RC, Boston 8, Fuelcell Rebel, Epic React. Also pretty well set for shorter race distances like 5k/10k with 4% and adidas sub 2. Looking at the ever growing collection (mad really) I dont see something obvious i'd use for HM or Marathon (when the time comes

)

Is this the monthly subscription? I think you'll only get 150 miles out of them

I'd not expect a lot of miles from the base model as there is no rubber on the sole, just foam. The Artist has a 1mm rubber layer which should add some durability...but not much :pac:

How the subscription works is that they send out a new pair every month. I'm not sure the cost of the subscription but I think it's less than 100 US dollars per month

It's not a monthly subscription or a pair a month. You select how many pairs per year. It could be a pair every 4 months. The carbon plated shoe is not part of the subscription model...
