Currently running in a pair of Triumph ISO. Totally different shoe to the previous models but so far so good after 50-60 miles in them.

Different in a good way???
Have a pair on order. A big fan of the Triumph 10's not so much of the 11's

Cona

Got a new pair of Pegasus 31 after having a couple of pairs of 29 and 30.

First reactions were not great. They don't seem as comfy for some reason but I will hold judgement till I have about 50 miles done in them.

Looking at the Adios 2 Boost (as a next marathon shoe) - but they're pretty damn expensive

Rotating Saucony Ride 7, Adidas Boston 4 and Brooks Pureflow 2. Saucony Virrata for very very occasional use. So an 8mm drop, 11mm, 4mm and a zero... Am I safe in presuming this is not a good thing? Should they be rotated a certain way or matched to particular runs? Is it better in general to stick to a particular heel toe drop?

I'd just be careful on the zero drops if you don't want an injury if you're not using them that much and not used to them- i.e. not using them for a month and then going out for a long run could be a very bad idea! (so much tougher on the calves and achilles). It's a personal thing of course but I have given up on 0mm drops as don't use them that much and could only do a short run (5k) without hurting the calves in that case (not being used to them). 4mm I'm fine with.

Thanks BB I wasn't aware if that site. They look like 2's as the 3 has a reflective flick near the little toe on the upper. It's the 3 I want as I had tried on a gorun 3 at vmlm expo, some people had issues with the 2's

I had a bad experience with some pure drift's I purchased off T'Internet after liking the pure cadence so i don't want another unused pair under the bed

I think I want the ride as they have more cushion than the gorun and I was going to use them for long runs, anybody have experience of both?

After upgrading from these to go run ride 4 at the weekend. Must say I cant see myself changing to anything else. Having worn asics, nike, brooks; have found skechers are the shoe for me. So comfortable! Way less achilles problems since I started wearing them. Think its the lack of a heel counter that does it. Whats the bets they go and change evrything for the next version!

these look cool but are fairly sh1t for running. the sole is rock solid and don't seem to changing much with break in. oh well, needed a gym shoe in any case.

got a pair of go run ride 3 - really like them. had the go run before. not much heavier really and more cushioned. feel nice and light on the feet.

Got three pairs on amazon for 140 euro. Great value when you could be forking out almost 200 notes for the likes of kayanos

Interesting design by Reebok... Looks very similar to lots of other styles out there with the signature 4mm/heat molded upper, flexible etc etc.

Let us know how they feel/fit and perform..

overpronator

Picked up a pair of Brooks ST5 as I've been looking for a marathon shoe. I ran a long MP session in them straight out of the box on Saturday and they were fantastic. I was surprised by the amount of support too, I reckon I would even be able to use them as a general training shoe eventually.

Bahanaman

Brilliant shoe! Ran two marathons in them last year. Have thought about using them as a training shoe but reckon they might be a little on the skimpy side!

bought a second pair myself. gorun ride 3 manages to feel light but with nice cushion. 8oz for size 9. 4mm drop. you can leave out the provided insoles if you want to get more road feel. already one of my favourite shoes ever. apparently they are durable also - saw a review after 400 miles on t'internet somewhere.

as I was saying in my previous post, would not recommend these reeboks - the sole is very unforgiving - really really hard and after about 30 miles it hasn't really softened up to any extent. they also feel not-so-light on the feet. would not recommend, unless you like a rock-solid feeling!

I picked up a pair of these Puma Decendant 1.5 during the week. . €30 including shipping. Ran a 6 miler on Thursday. Initial impression is that they are good. Will let you know if that changes.

The v2 are in sports world for €55. You can pick them up for €30 something on sports direct and there is another 10% discount code in the bargain thread.

sportsshoes.com have quite a good exchange rate on the £ - € at the minute, and free shipping on orders over €40.

Just gone for another pair of Kinvara 5s myself, last pair completely worn.

Can anyone recommend shoes for a total beginner?

I get shin splits easily and am wondering if any one shoe can possibly help; or is it just a matter of training until it stops being a thing?

adrian522

For a beginner the thing to do would be to go to a specialist running shoe shop like Amphibian King or Runhub and have them recommend a shoe. There is really no perfect shoe for everybody.

As regards your shin splints this is not necessarily caused by your shoes, but if it persists you should probably see a physio.

Go get yourself fitted for runners, no good anybody advising you on runners as they dont know if you need neutral or stability runners. If your in Dublin you cant go wrong with Amphibian King. They also have a store in Oranmore if your based in the West. Would be inclined to stay away from Elverys, Lifestyle and the likes, they would not have an extensive knowledge really.

Cool, they're only up the road from me (by car).

Just got a pair of the sequence boost. I'd love to know what's the general feeling on the boost cushioning system.
