    Question really is has anyone seen that much of a difference between the 35 and 36 Pegasus in terms of foot comfort?
    I prefer the 35s mainly because it was softer around the achilles

    Got some Pegasus 37s delivered end of last week and sent them back today. Lovely shoes overall but far too much heel slippage for my liking. Gone for some new NBs instead.

    Nike are ok with sending back shoes even having worn them?

    Yep. Currently 60 day returns for any reason. Obviously, there might be issues if you’ve run through a bog, but otherwise they have a very good returns policy

    Went for my first run in the Peg 37s today, definitely noticed the heel slippage alright but I don't mind too much.

    On first impressions, I'd prefer my Pegasus Turbo 2's as they feel slightly lighter and give more of a forward spring in the step.

    Think I'll keep the 37's for training and the Turbos for races and faster paced runs.

    I’ve gone through several pairs of 880s over the past few years but wanted to try something with a bit more cushioning so opted for the 1080v10.

    Good news :D

    I was sure I had missed any chance of getting a pair of Endorphin Pros but last luck shone on me. Snagged a pair today.

    Hopefully will get them out on Saturday for a good session.

    Where did you find them? Still undecided whether I'll go for those or try for Adizero pro when released next week..

    https://www.adidas.ie/adizero-pro-shoes/FW9604.html

    Adidas's other new carbon plate shoe, the Adios Pro, looks mental, got 5 rods in the forefoot as well as a carbon heel plate, reckon it'll be months before they're available though, cool to see something different..

    Looking specialist running place here in Perth WA called The Running Centre. Had arranged with the physical shop for the Australian version of Running Warehouse but they let me down.

    Saw a review of the adizero on youtube this morning, it was a bit luke warm. He appeared to get his nose out of joint over the weight of them but I think I’d take a bit more weight and have a decent wearing sole which the adidas looks like it has.

    Just as a follow-up to this (credit where credit is due and all that) I dropped the Nike shoes off at the PO in Athlone yesterday and they have already refunded the full cost to my PP account. Return post was free BTW. Very impressive service IMO.

    Initial run in the Saucony Endorphin Pro.

    Was a bit smashed from a heavy week but I gotta say, they are awesome. Like running on a cloudy trampoline. Fantastic cushioning and bounce. Looking forward to doing a 5k time trial in them soon.

    I haven’t tried the Nike versions but they blow the socks off the Hyperions.

    Just bought myself a pair of the Endorphin Speed, reviews are very positive, very similar to the Pro with a little more give.

    They were due to be released at 2pm
    https://twitter.com/SauconyUK/status/1277536578345275393


    but they're up now early on the UK site..

    Would it be a shoe more suited for sessions rather than a race?


  • #2219

    Registered Users Posts: 66 ✭✭ImportMeHappy


    If you're thinking faster threshold sessions then sure, if you're thinking slower easy pace or recovery runs the third model in the range, the Endorphin Shift may be a better choice. The Pro and Speed are both high end marathon racing shoes, with the Pro using a Carbon plater while the Speed uses a Nylon plate. I would have happily bought the Pro but they're sold out everywhere until August, other two were launched today..

    Need a change from the Floatride for a while.

    Sound I've been looking out for a replacement for my Nike Zoom Flys for sessions. I was going to wait for Nikes new version of the Zoom Flys but I take punt on these instead.

    Looking for another pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19. Seems hard to find online - most are either out of stock, don't have my size or have moved onto the 20. Is it risky to jumping for the 20s if I've been very happy with the 19s?

    Reasonable selection of sizes available there.

    I have been wearing Adrenalines since the 14, quite a change when they got rid of the medial post and moved to guide rails but you do get used to them. I fould little or no difference between the 19 & 20, the 20 mighe be just a tad narrower in the forefoot than the 19 but it's minimal.

    Interested to know how you get on with those. I picked up a pair in Kildare Village before everything kicked off. Nice shoe but I’ve had a fierce issue with the collar cutting into the outer ankle bone if I wore them for longer runs. Still haven’t sorted that myself (admittedly, haven’t really read how to fix it either!!)

    I had a pair of the propels and found the sizing odd, the size 8 felt short and the 8.5 was too long, so stuck with the 8 and wore thin socks. They are a great shoe and i think i got about 350 miles out of them before they started to feel very flat as if the foam had lost its bounce.

    Thanks Glencarraig. Size 10s seem hard to come by. I know there are some on Amazon, but the price has gone up and I want a different colour. :P I'll consider the 20s. :) 19s served me well.

    Just a general mileage shoe for me - a bit heavy compared to others, but at some of the paces I'm doing my easy runs at (8+) , they work for me.

    No pop in them, if you want a shoe for easy miles that'll last for ever, then these are your man.

    I was expecting epic layers of cushioning - but no - just a robust running shoe.

    I'd say any racer or fast shoe that you are comfortable in is fine. I'll normally use Nike Zoom Fly or Adidas Adizero for most my sessions. I got the Saucony Endorphin Speed last week but I haven't used them yet

    Actually scratch that - I'm getting mixed up with the Epic React Legend - which has the plusher heel.

    My 2 other pairs are actually 2's

    How do people find the Reebok floatride energy and floatride run fast?
    I am not if I find them too spongy especially the floatride run fast which is their flat running shoe.

    Tried the brooks hyperion(old) and asteria but not sure. What do people here prefer?

    Picked these up in the 30% off sale - got them for €38 and find them great. Very like the peg turbo maybe not as light. Brilliant everyday run shoe for the price.

    I just got a pair for €45 and looking forward to running in them as my Daily trainer.
    I also have a pair of the Run Fast's and use them for races up to half marathon. I think they are a great shoe but i did have to change he insole (nike peg 35) as the one them came with were very thin and kept creasing and giving me a blister.

    I have the Floatride energy and find them to be a reliable daily trainer for easy, steady or long runs. A bit lighter than Brooks Ghost but not as light as Nike pegs.
