What shoes you wearing now and what next?

I think I'm going to buy the Adidas Pulse Boost HD today from Sports Direct. €72 so within budget. I'd prefer the Nike Peagus 37 but they're coming in at over €100. Also quite tempted by the Nike DownShifter 10 coming in at around €50 on the Nike site.

You'll get the Pegasus 37 cheaper than 100 on Alltricks.

I'm not a light-weight gazelle of a runner, but I had a previous Down Shifter: it's not really a running shoe. Grand for the gym and can handle the odd easy 5k or whatever, but any time I tried running properly in it I felt like I was being under-served by the shoe.

Lads - convince me on the Nike Invincible??

Bluesquare · 25-03-2021 1:23pm

I bought a new pair of Nike Pegasus 37 but couldn’t run in them so gave them to my son who loves them . They now seem to barely fit him but he has other nikes in a size 7 that are too big .

So my question is : are mens shoes bigger ( than ladies version in same size ) even though same size . ? I spotted an elverys sale and would like to buy him a new pair but no 7.5 in stock

Bluesquare · 25-03-2021 1:29pm

Just to report back - based on recommendations from the thread I bought endorphin speeds and Nike reacts .

Love the speeds so much I bought a second pair you know just in case . Sometimes I feel they are going faster than me .

The reacts I can’t wear - Nike seem to have increased the size of their shoes - they are massive and feel like two bricks . I have gone back to wearing the hoka Clifton 7 for east runs . Which is ironic as it was my problem with them that started me in this spree. Why did I ever find this thread !!

I recently
gave my lad a pair of my Nikes (Turbo 2), they are a women's EU40. The last pair I bought for him which still seem to fit him also are the Nike Revolution 5 in size 6/EU40. He's 11. Both seem to fit him but the women's seem a bit more snug - or else it's just he has his own pair stretched from pulling them on/off without opening the laces :rolleyes:

I think womens shoes are narrower but I'm no expert.

That could be the exact issue here as well - probably the same shoe as well ! I might just sit tight for a Nike sale and get him the 7.5. He’s stopped complaining of leg soreness after runs since wearing the pegs so deffo a good investment . As long as he doesn’t cotton on to my new speeds tucked away in the closet !

Thanks ? Had a look at that yesterday - it seems to be only for Nike air products ( I swear I have other things to do bar buy/look for runners to buy)

100%. I've bought from them twice and plenty others on her without issue. My Next% early birthday present are on the way.

Omega28 · 25-03-2021 5:42pm

Any thoughts on the Adidas Pulse Boost HD?

Probably because Asics launch a new line of race shoes at the end of this month.

Just saw these photos of the ASICS MetaSpeed Sky.

Unfortunately, I've barred myself from buying any more runners until I get a new pair of spikes, but looking forward to hearing what these are like.

Top of my wish list

The Magic Speed which are also new look like a budget Metaracer and would probably be worth a punt for the shorter stuff. I think they will be one of the cheaper carbon plate shoes but without the stack height of the Sky...

They have a discount code (15%) on their new running shoes. If you want it : ALLTRICKSRUN15
I don't know how much time it's available.

I've 65km up on my pair. Initially I found them a very different feel. They have a rocker on them that force you to land on your forefoot. I'd be a mid to forefoot striker so I felt these shoes exaggerated this so I had to sit more back into them it you know what I mean for a more comfortable transition. They are super comfortable although a little heavy for my liking. I have found the arches are causing me issues on an existing/on going injury. While I like the soft feel for recovery days I don't think I'd recommend them solely because of the issues they are causing me.

Omega28 · 26-03-2021 11:28am

Lads, I'm struggling here with a budget of no more than €100. Adidas Pulse Boost HD, SL20 or Nike Peagus. Any

What do you intend to use them for? Sessions? Every day running?

I was looking for some decent prices for a while now as well. Used the Alltricks info provided on this thread recently. Got pegasus 37's delivered for €102, just make sure you pick one of the ones with the RUNSPRING20 or 10 code.

Total basket : 120.00€
Discount : 24.00€
Shipping costs: 5.99€
TOTAL ORDER : 101.99€

depending on sizing I see you could get as low as €87 delivered (whihc would have done me as they now have it in 42.5, might be tempeted yet :-)

Every day running. I've only been running a little while now but the runners I'm using are very old.

SouthWesterly · 26-03-2021 3:19pm

Are the Nike a wide or narrow fitting. I usually wear adidas

Im starting out running and looking for something with decent support ( have a bad back) but that wont break the bank. Under 100 é would be nice

I've found the Pegasus-type models run narrower in the toe-box and the Infinity-type models run wider. Both similar in mid-foot to Adidas.

I don't know anything about the Pulse boost so I won't comment on them.

The SL20 are popular with anyone I've talked to that owns them. However, of those people it's mixed in that some of them use them for sessions and others use them for easy/uptempo running.

Pegasus are typically an easy/general use runner for most people. The 37 haven't got rave reviews from anyone I've talked to. Personally I don't mind the 36. I don't own the 37.

I wouldn't over think it though.
