What shoes you wearing now and what next?

Slideways · 29-05-2020 2:17am

I’ve 50k on the Hyperion Pros now.
First time they have came into their own for me was doing 10x400s the other day. Other than that they are a bit meh.
I’d be pissed if I hadn’t gotten them 40% off

I’ll get the endorphins for sure once I can as I rub predominantly in Saucony.

Did get a pair on NB880 and enjoying them for the easier stuff

On the subject of Boston 8 mine arrived there today. Snug for sure. Tighter than the same size in Nike. But I usually size up one size with Adidas. Feel like a tempo runner for sure which is great as I have enough session and racer shoes with recent, very welcome additions.
Looking forward to taking them out on a test drive.

I got my Boston 8' yesterday...not a fan.I only ran 5km, so it will take a while to get a better feel.
Found the lacing odd, not alot of cushioning, and loud (that is my running style)
Having said that I did a sub 20 5km in the heat !

Have a mile TT tomorrow so won't risk new runners before that. Will test drive next week for sure.

I know im a bit late with this, but as well as the hilly socks, I find the Speigen socks very similar to them! I have 5+ pairs of them at the moment and find them great

People may remember from the bargain around the time of DCM.

I love my Boston 8s, if I had to pick 1 shoe to do all my runs in it would be the Boston 8,

I couldnt stand the Pegasus 36 I had, gave them away to a pal after less than 50k I’d say, different strokes for different folks I suppose

I recently got my first pair of Boston 8s, I am a comfortable size 10 in all shoes with plenty of room. But I found the Boston’s really tight across the top of my foot, so much that I don’t pull the laces tight. I do like them as a shoe but the lacing seems wrong. Test drove Last night new Pegasus’s 36 that I picked up for 59 euro and they are fab.

Sorry guys - discount was a birthday discount which I'm surprised they gave to me considering my bday was the middle of last month. No complaints here tho

New Balance Beacon v3 out today. Not the fresh Foam X like the NB1080v10 (super squishy cushion easy show) but I'm on a 2nd pair of Beacon v2 and I've loved them.

€120 not bad plus NBGIFT4YOU gets you another €12 off. €108 for a brand new model. https://www.newbalance.ie/en/pd/fresh-foam-beacon-v3/MBECNV3-31106.html?dwvar_MBECNV3-31106_style=MBECNGB3#style=MBECNGB3&width=D

The nike birthday discount lasts for 3 months now, assuming it's some temporary Covid related promotion to increase sales.

Look very similar to the V2 - any known changes or good reviews ?
I have V2 with about 400K on them, which I mostly like. Sole durability is not great.

There will be more and better reviews soon in terms of detail but seems much the same shoe. Interesting I have 500k and 850k on 2 pairs and sole durability has been ok. Given I am heavy on shoes and the fresh foam X on the 1080v10 got about 400K

Cheers for this Damo! I went looking through my emails and I found my birthday discount which was valid till the end of this month so of course I had to use it

A pair of Pegasus 37 ordered!

Have mine a few weeks. Find them tighter on the box than the 36's but they are certainly bouncier. Nice shoe, prefer it to the 36.

Laineyfrecks · 09-06-2020 9:09pm

I'd say it has indeed to do with the fact mine are youths runners & not adults so probably won't compare them either. My 2 pegs 36 are also youths and up there with the most comfy runners i have ever bought. I checked online and there doesn't seem to be anywhere that gives the difference between the youths & adults like other companies. As I said it works for me!

Bought myself and my nephew Saucony Kinvara 11's today from Deporvillage.
Comfortable and roomy.
Going to try on Pegasus 37 instore before buying, heard toe box is tight.

Just got my pair delivered, tried them on and not too sure as the length is about 1/2 size too long compared to the Peg 36's.

I thought the same, they do look longer than my current P36, i had to check i ordered the same size which i did. I put the two on and tightened up the laces, they fitted perfectly. I'll test them out Wednesday.

I went out earlier today wearing my P37, i found them very comfortable, so soft and lightweight, you would hardly feel the impact from the ground. The last k i started to feel rubbing on the inside of my foot arch - no blister, just some redness thankfully. I'll wear these now for a few days and break them in as they say, i'll alternate between these and P36, it maybe a little early but i would definitely recommend these to anyone thinking or looking to buy, the most comfortable and lightweight running trainer i have owned to date.

I have never heard of this and I have been wearing them for a couple of years without any issue or injury. I am not saying you are wrong, I have never had my gait analysed to see how my foot lands and strikes the ground.

I know the Rub Hub on Aungier street have this facility, you can make an appointment at a cost of €25, and if you buy a pair of runners with them, this is included in the overall price, great offer and one I will certainly look to do before my next purchase.

event · 18-06-2020 10:42pm

Yeah I normally need 'stability' runners for marathons etc. Shorter distances om. I've always worn Mizuno Wave inspires but need a new pair and not liking the 16s. I bought a pair of Nike React Infinity run and I live them but not sure about long distance

I was looking at the infinity, I thought they were designed for long runs, apparently more react foam than the epic reacts (which I currently use)

Why arent you sure about long distance out of interest?

event · 19-06-2020 2:03pm

I've only worn them on one 14 mile run and they gave me a blister which never happens. Maybe I need to break them in more. For my shorter runs, they have been great & I love them. I have the flyknit version BTW

Thinking of getting the Nike React Miler for longer runs also, reviews look good

event · 21-06-2020 4:02pm

Took them out again for 12 miles. Felt the heel slipped a bit and caused me some blisters. I have over 100 miles in them now so well broken in. Could be just me, could be because they are the flyknit. But will need more support in the heel I feel.

So will go for the Nike Miler I reckon

Wore my new peg 37's last week and they still felt very long, Went out for 8 miler and was getting very sore feet and had to stop after 5 miles. Never had a that type of pain before. I have a feel that the flex of the shoe was in the wrong place for my foot, So i sent them back. I might try them again if i can get into a shop to try them on a size down.
I am also considering the NB 1080 V10 or the Asics Evoride or Novablast.

I was back out yesterday in my P37 and ran just under 10K, i had no issue, no rubbing like the first day. I still found them to be very comfortable and lightweight. I admit, they look longer against my P36, both the same size.

eposhea · 22-06-2020 10:03am

Ran a half marathon distance yesterday in my Peg 36s - only got them in April and have been alternating between them and Peg 35 since - ran couple of 15km in the Peg 36 before yesterday. Anyway, about 3kms in could feel a hot spot on my left foot, but it was a virtual race, so I continued on and paid for it after - large blister has formed. This is the first time that the shoes have caused discomfort, but was very surprised to have the hot spots.

It's been bout 5 years since I had a blister like this - was wearing Brooks then and they killed my feet.

Question really is has anyone seen that much of a difference between the 35 and 36 Pegasus in terms of foot comfort?

What shoes you wearing now and what next?
