I have ASICS Cumulus 27 in size 11 and they are comfy but am looking for a speedy/tempo shoe. I got the asics magic speed five but found the inner arch uncomfortable.

I tried endorphins speed 5 in 11 but my big left toe was too close to the end. I tried 11.5 and again I wonder if the toe is too close to the end/side when I wear them mainly on the left foot.

They are reasonably comfortable but I’m unsure how they might feel after a long race.

Do I size up to a 12 in the endorphin or try a different tempo shoe?

Currently run around 20mins 5k, 42 mins 10k

Title: First half marathon in 1:46—stick with the EVO SL for my first full?

Just ran my first half at the Detroit Free Press International Half Marathon and finished in 1:46! My goal was simply to break two hours because ive never raced before, but I felt great for much longer than expected and ended up surprising myself. I wore the EVO SL because, obviously, it’s the best shoe on the planet.

Now I’m looking ahead to the full Detroit Marathon next year. Would you stick with the EVO SL for the full distance or consider something else?

I’d also love some feedback on a realistic marathon goal based on my current training. I started running consistently in February and have been averaging around 35 miles per week for the past couple of months. I’m training for a trail 50K in April mostly for fun, but Detroit will be my main goal race next year. What would be a reasonable time to aim for?

My current rotation:

• Mount to Coast C1: Easy runs and easy long runs.
• Adidas EVO SL EXO: Workouts and long runs with progressions.
• Nike Vomero Premium: Recovery days or when I’m feeling especially beat up.
• Adidas Adios Pro 4: Only one run in these so far, but I’m having a hard time imagining they’d be comfortable enough for me over 26.2 miles.
• Mount to Coast H1: Trail and bad michigan weather days

Anyone here raced a full in the EVO SL or had their opinion of the Adios Pro 4 change after a few more runs?

Note: Had 0 issues or pain with the EVO SL for the half marathon at all, they were amazing

Hi! My size 11 is a bit big as shown on the right and my size 10 is pressing into my left foot’s pinky toe

Is the right call here 10.5 for all Vomero plus purchases moving forward?

Hey everyone!

I'm very interested in getting a pair of Dynafish Xiaonian shoes, but I'm finding it pretty difficult to get them in Europe for a reasonable price.

Most of the options I've found seem to cost €140 or more, which feels a bit steep. (like Aliexpress)

Has anyone in Europe managed to buy a pair for less than that? If so, where did you order them from? I'd also appreciate any tips on reliable Chinese websites or sellers that ship to Europe without excessive shipping costs or import fees.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Can someone please tell me if they are fake or not, i bought them from an outlet, but in doubt because i have never seen any evo sl before (i know they are popular, but in my country we have almost no options)

Looking to buy my first race shoes. Hesitating between Adidas Adios Pro 4, Saucony Elite 2 and NB Elite v4/v5.

I’m 150lbs and a heel striker. I plan to run mostly races between 5K to Half marathons. Suggestions?

Anyone taken the 361 Mega 3 Pro to marathon distance yet?

I'm looking for some advice on what shoe to buy. I always have 2 running shoes to rotate between runs. Now, I had to retire one pair of shoes. What I'm looking for at the moment is a shoe that can handle fast interval trainings, but I can also use on race day. At the moment, I run in the Adidas Evo SL for my intervals and 'easy' runs.

The new shoe should be durable but also fast. Because I don't race that often on the street and more on track, I want to buy shoes comfortable for interval runs but also races, so I don't have to buy race shoes for a few races a year. I only race 5k and 10k on the street. I am a fore/midfoot striker. My 5k PR is 16:39, which I'm trying to break with the new pairs. The Nike zoom fly 6 caught my eye, but I don't know if it's fast enough. Maybe you have other ideas?

Thank you in advance for your reply!

Is this considered as too narrow?

Do you think other models in wide will work?

Hello there!

I currently have the Saucony Endorphin Azura. Love them! I use them for every run, short run, tempo, long run…. Etc
But I want to invest in another Saucony shoe for tempo work and I want to buy the Endorphin Speed 5.

Based on your experience, do I buy them the same size as the Azura or a 1/2 size bigger ?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all. The quest to find something like the saucony shift 3 continues. I’ve read various posts across the web that the azura has a similar vibe to the shift three, with it being a neutral stable shoe. Does anyone have any experience with the azura ?

I’ve tried the hurricane 25s however I feel they’re too stability focused for me as I feel it’s pushing my foot to the outer edge too much.

Thanks

Hi All,

I used to run in Nike Zoom fly 4’s - but had to stop due to severe pain on the sides of my shin. I got professional suggestions after an analysis, now I run in ASICS GT2000-15, great for my pronation and I have hade no issues since changing to those!

I am due to run a HM in Madrid in 2027, and I’m wondering if race day shoes are necessary or if my GT2000’s will suffice, and also which ones to look for? I like the look of some of the Saucony Models.

Thanks in advance for your help!🤩

Ive always had wide feet ever since i was a child shoes would hurt me especially in the mid foot and maybe the heel i guess?

thats why when i decided to start running i bought new balance 1080 in the wide version thinking it would solve my problem. i went for a group run today and they hurt me badly, i could barely stand on my feet afterwards cause of the discomfort.

what the hell do i do? they were so expensive and not sure if i can return them.

is there any shoe that genuinely has a midfoot and back of the foot wide enough so that i can run in it? how do i find it and make sure it actually works?

please id be so grateful for help id really like to get into running :(

Anyone wearing EVO SL? Is the middle of this shoe too narrow? I tried one, middle of it felt like my foot is sitting on the corner of the shoe, not sure if just that shoe’s midsole was weird or just how the shoe is

Hello,

I saw that online most of endeavor max cushioning shoes are sold with the go run logo on the side, meanwhile in store i saw mostly with max cushioning logo instead.

There are any differences?

Looking for gym and running shoes (separate pairs are fine) that also look good casually. Prefer zero drop, minimal cushioning, flexible mesh, and bunion/toe room. Gym pair needs lateral stability. I’ve worn retro New Balances for a decade but need more width now.

Approximate measurements in cm:
Right tracing: 28.7 length, 10.8 ball width, 10.9 overall width.
Left tracing: 29.0 length, 10.3 ball width, 10.6 overall width.
Right wall method: 28.8 length, 10.6–10.8 width.
Left wall method: 28.6 length, 10.5 width.

Considering Lems, Wildling, Splay, Be Lenka, Vivo, Xero, Bohempia, and Softstar. Which models/sizes would fit? Many sites don’t list widths.

Attaching measurement photos and my current WHITINs. The mesh feels incredibly comfortable with no bunion pressure, but my feet overhang the removable insoles—is that a fit concern? Looking to add more options in the rotation.

Im about 150miles into each shoe and have been battling various IT Band, front knee, and lower calf pains. Nothing too bad but each one pops up every few weeks. While this could be due to my mileage increasing, I want to be sure my shoes aren’t creating the problem! I know for a fact I pronate. These are both 361 Kairos 3’s, which are support shoes. I had really bad pain in my Ghost 17’s before switching to these, and the pain has been much better but still keeps popping up. I’ve got a half in 5 weeks and I want to make sure I don’t injury myself before then! Any and all thoughts are appreciated!
