Wasn't trying to hide them. They actually have loads of room in the toe box, at least for my feet.

never had an issue with the look but can understand they aren't to everyone's taste.

That's definitely what I'd recommend. I tried on a pair of the Kjerag and the sizing is different. For them I felt a 44 would be right. But that said they have a very different feel under foot and weren't for me. Prefer the Tomir for the standard training runs.

@@whytrigavin my pair just arrived in the post. Went a full US size down and they are a perfect fit (look great too in new colourway). Thanks for the advice!

@@LeeSmales great. hope you enjoy running in them

For sure. Not an easy course but for me it’s really the ease of getting there and the chance to be part of the world champs which is a big draw.

No idea what it’s called. Glad you like it though

no they come with an insole. not too thick and I feel there's enough room to remove that one and put ones of your own choice in if you prefer.

lmao are you the tf2 soldier guy? this is so random seeing ppl you remember from years ago later under a shoe review

don't think so. Never been a soldier

Thanks. Was fun to do.

Glad you liked it. My Speedgoats are a size EU 44 2/3 or US 10.5

@@whytrigavin thank you!🙏

As much as I’d love to go to Kona for the “myth” it is by many accounts a fairly unspectacular course. The conditions make it challenging. I’ll be trying my best for Nice. Kona will have to wait until I move into one of the less crowded age groups.

@@whytrigavin been to Hawaii many times. Also did the half out there so I have ridden the Queen K and the road to Hawi. Also ran on the Queen K. I had goose bumps during the race knowing how lucky I was just to be doing the half. I went for a swim and stood under the big banyan tree. Overrated maybe but also special beyond description for me.

I'll get some some day. Just have to hope IM don't completely move away before I qualify.

Thanks. I’m good.

Nice does have a very long tradition of triathlon and the bike course is almost certainly better in a different way. I’d definitely give it a go

Me too

Thanks. I think it’s a cool little experiment.

Yes and no. Yes because many will want to go to Kona and skip Nice. No because this year a lot who already qualified before the change will switch to Kona, freeing up slots which had actually already gone for the 2023 edition. That’s why the races this year up to August have more slots again.

I’ll also add it’s a very watered down slot people are getting. The “racing world championship “ term should be used very loosely for nice.

that's very true. Already started last year in St George and then again in Kona. There is was a case as well of not the best athletes but often the wealthiest.

thanks for the tip. Will give it a try. I have a spring half marathon so will probably give them a real test then.

Totally agree with the alphaflys for full marathon 👍oh and good luck for the half bud.

Great to have you with us. Come back anytime

Glad it was useful.

That's a great idea. As it saves the chats I can go back and continue the conversation. I'm sure it could come up with some suggestions.

Nice.

You can see exactly what I looked for in the first video I did on ChatGPT if you haven't watched it already. ruclips.net/video/gE36YjOQ2LA/видео.html It didn't tell me exactly what pace to run but you should be able to gauge that based on an all-out effort.

Yep. I managed to get through my marathon without any blisters this time but my toenails didn’t survive. You win some you lose some.

Thanks a lot. Really wanted the sub-3 but realistically it was too much. Will get there hopefully next year. Tried getting into London but unlucky in the ballot. All the best for your prep.

For sure. Legs now feel really good but I know deep down they need a good recovery.

Thanks. Was really tough but super happy.

I think you could use it perfectly fine for some lighter hiking but it’s not a slow shoe. Wouldn’t want to take it up into the higher mountains though as it lacks the ankle support. For that there is a hiking version.

Thanks for watching. If I could find them that cheap then I'd probably buy a couple of pairs to keep for the future. I do use a shoehorn but compared to anything else they are very tight. Fully agree that a snug fit is good. didn't say that was bad. I think the blisters are more related to me having flatter feet which rubs more in the arch support area. but overall these are all little annoyances. like I said the speed does it for me.

@@whytrigavin 35 % off was the best price I saw on black friday but even better were 55 % off for the Alphafly 1 and the Vaporfly 2 so I could not resist to buy them, too.

Thanks

Thanks. Not quite sure I’ll hit the 3 hours which is my big marathon goal but I’ll give it a go. The shoe has definitely come on loads since the original vaporfly where there was very little protection from wear. And stability is much better. 👍

Great to hear you like them. Shame about the stitching issue. Seems it could be related to the issue I had in the first pair. As they're still new you might be able to get a replacement.

@@whytrigavin thanks - I just cut off the excess and we shall see how they hold up. They are a little trashed after a hard race in snow and ice - I ordered a second pair but half a size down - thanks again for your review!

Thanks and will be doing something. Just not sure I'll get much race footage.

This is very true. I use them for the races and key training sessions. Rest of the time I'm on the trails or using more cushioned road shoes with no plates.

Why will carbon plates wreck you? How will carbon plates wreck you? Where are you getting this information from?

@@jasonjenkyns5083 I found to was straining on my calf and achilles. Maybe it was just me. I’m 58 years ild and average 35-40 trails miles a week. If they work for you, you should be good to go. My friend had the same experience as me. Good luck. 👍

@@jasonjenkyns5083 as can be the case when moving from one shoe to a significantly different one, there can be a period of adaptation. Carbon plated shoes place your feet in a different position and require muscles to work differently. if you suddenly switch to doing all you running in them they can cause injury. But the same is true for non-carbon shoes. If you're familiar with Newton, they promote forefoot running but also warn you should ease yourself into the shoes with shorter runs.

Thanks for the feedback. New to this type of stuff but will make it better

tell me about it. I think I need some help

My view is the sizing is a little on the large size. Just finished my review and the video will be up in the next couple of days.

@@whytrigavin that is great. We will be waiting for it!!

@@karollam495 fuller review now up ruclips.net/video/tQmrFhBc0B4/видео.html

From this short first run it's difficult to give a definitive answer. That said, it seemed very good when it needed to be on stones and roots but not over-grippy on asphalt where it could slow you down. As far as a rocker plate goes I don't think it's needed. They're not really designed as racing shoes and for me personally on the trails I like a little more movement to allow me to feel the surface. I'll be doing a full review with my first thoughts. Video to come soon.

@@whytrigavin Thank you, Ill be looking forward to that
