We need more videos like this Andy. All the reviews these days are shoes less than 50 miles (or even less). Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a big name shoetuber preaching some shoe, only to look at it on their strava sitting at 12 miles 🥴
The Novablast 4 did the same for me. I'm 540k in now, and the bounce disappeared for me at around 400-450k. They are still useable for shorter daily runs but I don't really want to use them for anything else any more. I think at around 600k I'll call it a day with them.
Seeing the Brooks Hyperion 2 (a shoe I loved) makes me wonder if you'll get to the Brooks Launch 11 - that's looking like the OG tempo reborn at a really affordable price!
I've been curious about how the Novablast would hold up for you. I've been wary about it that it would lose it's bounce relatively quickly. Superblast is more expensive but an absolute tank.
You are one of those rare reviewers that haven't reviewed the Superblast. I remember you said in one of your videos that you don't try shoes above 40 mm stack height. I experienced hip and knee pain the first time I tried the Superblast. I don't know whether it will get better. Do you talk about the Superblast and/or stack height issues in detail in any of your videos?
Wow, making the Puma your A-Race Shoe really is the highest praise! Been using my Endorphin Elite v1 for my Sessions as well and currently at 142km it's still feeling good...
I raced a 5k when they had 101 miles in them and they felt fine... I did a 10k next at 104 miles and they felt flat... thought it was just me having a bad race...did a couple of training runs after and that confirmed they were dead!
I’m gonna say something strange I prefer Mach 4 and nova 4 over the Superblast 2..I’ve just started wearing them..I’m hoping when I break them in they get better..they are good don’t get me wrong

Yowana did a test after 100 miles on the Novablast 5, and he measured the stack height in the heel vs a new pair, and it compressed by 5mm!
I just check run repeat reviews before buying anything saves a lot of money skipping the flimsy shoes
My NB5 shows some serious abrasion and cracks on its sole after 100 miles.

Very important that you pointed out how the midsole cushion is holding up or if it lost some of its original bounce.

My Novablast 4 have started to lose the 'bounce' at around 280km. Still enjoying them but not as responsive.
@LeeSmales I'm just over 300k and mine are fine so far but I'm not expecting to get 400 miles in them, at least not with the bounce.

Neo Vista is over 40 mm. I think he said they don't make Superblast in his size.
Evening all. Interesting reflection, Andy. Good luck in the next workout. Like. Cheers.
I noticed the same with the Novablast 5 and I'm only 70km in
I loved the 4, I'm going to get another pair of those.
I was a bit gutted to be honest when I felt it... I hope it doesnt get worse!

Indeed, high praise for them, but they're so worth it! Would love to hear your opinion on them!
Unfortunately, there’s only very limited sizes available of the DNE3 in the US.
Sportsshoes has 13.5 in the Adidas Pro 4 silver
Yes they do, but its greyed out, which means its not in stock sadly
which shoe do you prefer... noosa or novablast? I'm thinking about which one to buy... :)
How many km/mile did you feel the midsole remained optimal in the Saucony elite v1?
I raced a 5k when they had 101 miles in them and they felt fine... I did a 10k next at 104 miles and they felt flat... thought it was just me having a bad race...did a couple of training runs after and that confirmed they were dead!
Appreciate the input! Decent amount of race life I guess. I'll save mine for mostly some key races.@@TheFODRunner

Its not strange, they were my favourite last year and I can completely see why you'd choose them
