    Would ye all just grow a pair, buy all the shoes ye need, get them delivered to the house and the hell with the consequences (says he who is lucky enough to have an OH that spends just as much on running shoes as me :D:D )

    Reebok have an extra 20% off a lot of sale items including the runners mentioned by Damo! Code wasn't working yesterday but is now...tested for a friend :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 613 ✭✭✭rodge68


    Got my first pair of Sauconys delivered earlier, Kinvara 11's.
    Did 10 miles in them, feel comfy.
    Only changed as my usual nike Pegasus dont last very long..

    Picked up a pair of the new Adidas SL20. I think it's being positioned as a light neutral trainer for people who wear the Adios. Very nice shoe, more room in the forefoot than the Boston, feels more stable too. Impressed with it. Will be a tempo shoe for me, I'd feel a bit sloppy in it after 60 mins I'd say.

    They have raised the prices on a few of the colour options (gone from the €45-ish to around €63) but still offering the 20% until tomorrow I believe. Limited sizes left at this point as well. I had been tempted to get a second pair to take advantage of the original low price plus the 20% off!

    Picked up a set myself (before the 20% off became available) and I know a few were enquiring for sizing. I went with 8.5 myself, although I am all over the place at times with sizes. For example, I’m an 8 in Ghost 12’s, 8.5 in Saucony Triumphs I got fitted in the Run Hub last November and a 9 in anything from New Balance and in Pegasus’s. So all over the board!

    When I first put on the 8.5’s I could feel space at the top of the toe. Probably the width of my thumb. Immediately thought ‘feck, a half size too big!’. Played it safe colour wise with the grey and blue trim in case they would just become everyday shoes.
    Brought them for a run just to see, wearing my thicker running socks and found them quite secure and comfortable over a run. Arguably could of gotten away with half a size smaller but who’s to say they wouldn’t be too tight then! Will know for sure when all this is over and can get out on a good long run in them though.

    That's mad i went on & got another pair at the 44euro price with a further 20% off when the offer 1st went up! Can't believe they put the prices back up! I was the very same with the sizing, thought maybe i should have gotten a 4 & a half but after running in the 5 and finding them really comfy i went for a 5 again to be on the safe side! I think that's enough runners for me for now :D

    Any Reeboks you’d recommend for overpronation?

    There isn't much evidence to back up the need for 'special' shoes. I have twice been analysed as needing support shoes for over pronation but last year I decided to go to neutral shoes. Not one problem have I had since then and neutral shoes tend to be lighter and more comfortable for me.

    Same as Skyblue, I was recommended support shoes and wore a few pairs when started running. Switched to neutral runners 2 months ago and haven't looked back since. Ordered 2 pairs of those Reebok above, waiting for them to be delivered

    I’ll consider the Floatrides so but the reason I say that earlier is because I love my Kayano 24s, do tend to go over my foot sometimes in other shoes.

    These look cool, seen some good reviews and are a good price, I like the lightstrike foam in the Boston 8s and love my Adios 4s so was going to give these a go but decided to wait for the Adizero Pro. They were due to be available today but now say April 14th..

    Did another tempo in these last night, the nicest out of the box shoe I've ever had. I cant get over how light yet supportive they feel. They are, prob comparable to the adios in weight. I think that the wider forefoot is a big part of that supportive feeling, would say they fit nicely to size due to it. Great shoe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 351 ✭✭boydkev


    New colour of vaporfly Next %'s released this morning on Nike.ie.

    Will or wont i, But i suppose when i decide they will be all gone......Just a pity they so expensive.

    Still wondering if i will wait for the Saucony Endorphin Pro.

    Any idea of the likely mileage you'd get from these?

    I'm ok with buying carbon plated racing shoes, but for training runs??

    Edit: ignore this - I checked the link of the Adizero Pro rather than the Sl20

    I take it the Alphafly won't be released in Europe for a while now. Probably no big demand for high end racers with the uncertainty of competitive road running caused by covid 19 pandemic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,714 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Yet another Nike question :-)

    Has anyone tried the FlyEase version of any trainers?

    I'm looking at the Nike Pegasus 36 which are available on the site for €71. An appealing price made all the better by my 25% birthday month allowance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,027 ✭✭✭opus


    Picked up a pair of those Reebok runners that everyone mentioned, couldn't resist a punt at that price. Had two ~10k runs in them so far. Seem fine so far although I wouldn't say they're better than other runners I've got.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Hi all. I'm looking to purchase running shoes that have the maximum cushioning to make it seem like you're running on air. From what I've seen the Altra Olympus 3.5 are the best I can find, but they are on the expensive side. I'd pay the money if it's worth it though. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    They're a Trail shoe. Is that what you're looking for, or tarmac?

    Primarily road running but for anything really. Been also looking at the Saucony ISO 5 and the Adidas Ultraboost. Just basically looking for maximum comfort and bounce.

    Nike Vaporfly Next% ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,030 ✭✭✭Slideways


    I have the Saucony Triumph. It’s pretty plush and has a fair bit more cushion that the Ride ISO 2


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Thanks for the suggestions.
    Nike Vaporfly Next% ;)
    As a rookie to the running click blowing 500 odd euro on a pair of runners isn't probable all that wise.

    My girlfriend owned a pair of Saucony's before and liked them. I might try the Triumph ISO 5.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,582 ✭✭✭Swashbuckler


    I'm not sure of the price right now but the Nike Zoomfly Flyknit are probably my most bouncy and comfortable shoe but one id use mainly for sessions and not for easy running.

    Thanks for that! Was waiting for another 30% off sale! Just bagged a pair of Pegasus 36. Had a pair of Pegasus 35 Turbo in the basket too, but then all sold out before I could pay! The joys of flash sales!

    Is it just a certain colour at that price? None of the ones I see are 53 :(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    63 is the cheapest I'm seeing.

    Haha I didn't pull the trigger. I'm good that way thinking about you guys.

    It was specifically one colour in size 9 that I checked.

    I think ill have a shot at 62, still good value. Wore a slightly older pair today for my session and they were great. Zoom Fly 3 are done and dusted, dont think id buy another pair of them.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    I went with €63, it was either that or a slab of craft beer. I went a half size up on my normal size in Saucony, so hoping they fit ok.

    Pulled the trigger on a pair of them. Didn't do much research tbh. (Didn't do any)

    What shoe are we looking at here, Half/Full Marathon? Or what?

    I picked up the Peg Turbo 2's recently. Have worn them on a couple of long runs. Lovely shoe, almost too comfortable. Haven't made up my mind yet. Definitely felt better at a quicker pace...Know a few guys who have ran marathons in them.

    I love them, a very versatile shoe. Great for long runs and very comfortable but also light and responsive so good for a session too


  • Registered Users Posts: 973 ✭✭✭internet_user


    Is there much difference between Pegasus 36, Pegasus Turbo and Vomero? My last few pairs have been regular Pegasus and I find them comfortable but I might try something new


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,855 ✭✭✭✭average_runner


    Anyone buy the Brooks Tempo yet?

    Will buy a pair if I get into good shape, that's my reward

    Also wondering about this.

    I have a pair of Pegasus Turbo 2's and want to buy a pick up a pair of Pegasus 36's. Given I obviously can't try them on in store now I'm curious how the sizing compares between the two.

    Usually the Vomero would be on the very cushioned, plush side of things. The latest model however has got some dodgy reviews and is a distant second to the Pegasus 36 by a lot of accounts.

    I've had a couple of pairs of Pegasus 36 and I recently got a pair of the Peg Turbo 2. No comparison really, the zoomX foam, added to the react foam, in the turbos is just different gravy really. The 36's are a great everyday trainer though (but, for me, not in the class of the Epic Reacts). Peg Turbo's felt better suited to a quicker pace, still making my mind up about them. They are VERY cushioned!
    Sizing wise, I was a 10 across the board.

    Good to know, thanks. I'm coming up to the 100km mark in the Turbos now and really like them too. I had originally bought a pair of Adizero 4's but found I kept picking up niggly injuries in them. Switched to the turbos and its been plain sailing so far. The zoomX cushioning works wonders for my dodgy form and tendency to run too fast :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,084 ✭✭✭BeepBeep67


    On my 2nd pair of Skechers Razor 3's, lovely all rounder, the hyperburst midsole is a joy to run in.
    450 miles in my first pair, only retiring so I can set another free from my harem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,017 ✭✭✭Itziger


    Nike have cancelled my recent order for the Pegasus Turbo. From 180 to 88 euro was too good to be true :(

    Anyone have this happen in the last few days?

    No sign of them sending my Epic react Flyknit or whatever its called but not cancelled yet anyway.

    No, thankfully! Bit went online again today to see if anything available and not one shoe available in men's in the sale section...wonder if they over promised and that's why had to cancel some people!

    I got shipment notice on Pegs 36 this week, so hopefully that means all good!

    The deal on the turbos will be back again tho, don't worry! (I'm keeping my eye out too)

    3 pairs ago I finally settled on my perfect shoe. NB 1500v4.

    Had two pairs of them before my current pair which are 1500v5.

    They're due replacing. I see a 1500v6 available online.

    v4 and v5 seemed pretty much the same shoe but v6 looks to have a bit of a different shape to it.

    Has anyone worn both that can advise?

    I was wondering about the 1500v6 too. I like those detailed reviews. In fact I was weighing up the stable in general.

    I generally use the 1500v5 for tempo or intervals. I find it a very snug, solid shoe to hold form, good for that use case but not very responsive. I like them at speed but they feel like clogs on the warm up, recovery sections and cool down.

    That's maybe because I rotate 2x NB beacon 2 for daily training (for which they are awesome) and the NB 1080v10 for recovery or when I need more cushioned easy days. The fresh foam has me spoiled.

    Before that lot I went through 4 pairs of 880s, 2 pairs of 1080s.

    The thing about the 1500s is I also rotate Adidas Boston 7 for tempo and they are just better for that purpose. More responsive and more fun. Ihave a pair of Adizero 4 that I promised I'd hold off until I run sub20 5k.

    I'll pass on the 1500v6 but interested to hear your view if you get them.

    Hi there
    Relatively new to running. I want to get myself a new RACER profile shoe, especially after multiple encouraging barefoot sessions which caused me no issues
    I know I know I know, before yee start, it is difficult to recommend a shoe, but I did my homework, I know precisely what I'm looking for:

    Lightness (as if they were not there),
    High  responsiveness
    airiness (high ventillation), knit mesh
    flexibility of the sole ( bending properties 5 or 4 out of 5)
    Encourages forefoot/midfoot strike
     large toebox
     small, 9 to 4, maybe even 0 hill offset
     rocker bouncy feel (rebound), springy, firm
    freedom of foot movement in all directions


    What I certainly dont want:
     heavily cushioned mushy pillow shoe,  plush side of thing
    Sole stiffness
    No sidewalls in midsole, absolutely no guide rails
    No build up meedfoot, arch should work unguided
    No stability controls


    Ligh female under 9 stones
    "old" last season models and classics welcome, especially if we can get them online
    Gratefull for any recommendations
