I think my 5 years love affair with Pegasus is coming to an end....started off with Pegasus 35 and liked them, absolutely loved the 36's but found them to be pretty meh since tbh.
Got a pair of Puma Velocity Nitros a while back (following a recommendation on the Deals thread) and find them a great show for regular stuff and sessions.
Does anywhere have deals/sales on Puma?
Looked in a few of the regular haunts and found they weren't there or cost more than the Puma website 😕
startfitness.co.uk have some Puma stuff at good prices. UK based though so could work out more expensive if you have to add on VAT and duty and fees
Recently went from Asics GT 2000 to Hoka Clifton 9, I thought the asics were comfortable, the Hoka are incredible, 3 weeks in and 12 runs later, loving them.
Cheers...had a look there and somehow ended up on ASOS.com and found a pair for €71 (!)
Seems almost too good to be true....are ASOS reliable/kosher? Never bought off them before.
Edit: took the plunge...will hopefully be back next week with a positive update 😁
Ah ASOS are dead on. One of the biggest online retailers there is
Have really enjoyed a few pairs of the Asics Magicspeed, the first version.
Got a pair of the Magicspeed 2 and really don’t care for them. Any recommendation for a similar shoe to the 1?
I got my Velocity Nitro 2s from Asos. They're fine. Not a place you would normally associate with running or proper sports gear at all but obviously that doesn't matter once the model of shoe is good.
Thinking of getting the Endorphin Elites for Amsterdam marathon.
One slight worry though from a youtube review was toe knuckle chafing from the toe box mesh.
Guy said it was a problem after 21 miles. Fantastic review other than that.
Anyone got a pair?
Have you wore any of the Endorphin Pros or Speeds before?
Yeah, I've a pair of Pro 3
Better off getting the Nike ones. I heard a few saying their style are really for elite or sub 2:45 marathoners.
I just bought the Hoka Mach 5, as I want to see if they can replace my Ride 16 as a daily trainer.
I know they may have been on sale for very low prices a few months back, but the only good deal I could find recently is on misterrunning.com (they don't have many sizes left).
Paid 99.90 for the black version, which is the one I really wanted, so I qualified for free shipment as well. The price was actually 104.90 but I signed up to their newsletter and got a 5€ discount code. The code is probably a generic one and I guess it can be reused: NEWS5.
Trustpilot has great reviews for that website, not so much for farfetch.com which is another site where there was a good offer.
Next I'm going to buy the Saucony Triumph 20, but in a month the new model will be out, so there may be better discounts then on the black or grey model (the other colours are a bit too flashy for me).
Another good deal I was about to get is on the Asics Magic Speed 2, retailing at 180€, but if you sign up on the Asics website they're on sale for 126, plus an additional 15% you get when you sign up, which should be applicable to sale items as well. The price would be 107 euro that way, but I really wanted the Hoka at this time. I guess the Magic Speed can be found elsewhere for similarly low prices. I wanted to use my 15% discount but couldn't find any great shoes at good prices on the Asics website: the Nimbus 25 got mixed reviews, the Novablast 3 and Superblast are still at retail price, etc.
I just got the mens Novablast 3 for 90 and women's for 84 in elverys if your on the look out
Thanks, found them on their website now, having a look...
Edit: they only seem to have very large or very small sizes left... :(
Do you mean the Elites or Saucony supers in general?
I think it's the elites, been parks and Fordy runs did reviews recently, check them out on youtube
Elites. I've got the pros. Also going off the Ben Parkes video but also going off a few others I heard. I used them during an sacouny event over here and they felt weird. However the alphafly 3 imo would be better.
Thanks lads, I checked out Ben Parkes' review.
Hmm, his only negatives really were the fact it's no real use for anything other than racing and fast sessions, and the price point. The former is fine, and seems pretty standard, and the latter is subjective.
He did steer me a little towards checking out the Alphas though, and I will.
Picked up my first pair of Kayanos for €120 on Elverys there
Has anyone bought shoes from StockX.com? Youtuber eddbudd whom people from this thread have been following says it's an OK site, with no fake shoes as they're checked by their team.
Looking at the reviews on trustpilot a couple of people said they received fakes. Outlier reviews may be fake themselves, though.
I'm looking to buy Vaporfly Next 2 or Adidas Prime X Strung. Thanks.
looking at that site, they dont sell them direct. They authenticate everything that is sold but I am sure they could make a mistake or two, you just never know
I picked up the VF 2s on Alltricks.com for €185 over the weekend.
The 3s have had mixed reviews, so I reckon the 2s were going to become like gold dust. They'll be saved for Valencia half & full.
Arrived today....all good 👍
Checked them on ASOS again just now and they're back up to €120 so glad I went ahead last Friday
Arrived in exactly 1 week. Good price and service from https://www.misterrunning.com/en/

Fun fact, today I collected my Hoka Mach 5 I too had ordered a week ago from the same website.
Loved version 1...they can be picked up really cheap now. Looking forward to v3 after the poor v2
The Magic Speed 2 is a dog! Jump onto the V3...the reviews are great
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 (new 23 model just launched) discounted to 105 Euro with free delivery directly from the Brooks Ireland website - pretty good range of sizes and a few colours.
Adidas pro 3 - 149 on 21 run. Anyone ever hear of this site? Seems to good to be true .

Haven't heard of that site before. There does tend to be good bargains on the pro 3, I see them advertised regularly on discount
