    Puma deviate nitro 2

    ASICS magic speed 3

    I have really flat feet with a REALLY wide midfoot and find it hard to find a shoe with enough room without spilling off the side of the arch. I usually go for 2E but even that doesn't help. Can you think of any running shoes that have that wide midfoot. The only shoes that I've found that fit are the New Balance 860 in a 2E (I find that stability features help). Just tried the saucany tempus in a wide but even they are too narrow. Any advice would be truly appreciated.

    @BenMayMusic Год назад +4

    i definitely agree. i took them on a faster 8 miler and they felt quite effortless. I have the Boston 11 and it's a completely different shoe.
    I probably wouldn't use them for recovery runs or would steer away if you're a slower runner; this is definitely a performance trainer like the ES3.
    The lacing system isn't my favorite but it worked well enough. The heel system has no padding, which may irritate some.

      The adizero is always light and that energy rods and lisghtstrike pro will always push u forward. I only use this for the tempo and all speed.

    Received it and took it out on a short run even though my Garmin told me to stay home and rest. Haha. Couldn't resist. Took it real easy just to get an initial impression and it's exactly as you say - including the weird tongue and lacing system. I don't think I've dialed it in properly yet but I'm sure I'll get there. Overall, it feels great and is such a massive improvement over the Boston 11. I had been using the 11 for the occasional treadmill runs at the gym but I don't think I'll even do that anymore. The 12 looks like it'll become my main daily trainer now.

But, I didn't care for the Boston 11 and the Adios 7 was just okay. It seems Boston 12 is the "proper" daily trainer that we've been waiting for from Adidas. And it sounds like Adios 8 will be the ideal speed/tempo trainer. Adidas is making all the right moves and the best seems yet to come with the PXS 2 and the AP and TS with Strung uppers eventually.

    I have just come home from my first run in the Boston 12 - ran at a mix of speeds to try and get the measure of them . They are great. Honestly, I think they are much better than the Speed 3 - cumulatively i have done over 1500km in Speed 3s and Pro 3s. For me The Lightstrike foams are head and shoulders above the PWRRUN foam in the Saucony - firmer and much more responsive. The Boston 12 seems a versatile shoe - I wouldn't waste it on easy and recovery runs - this is where he Cumulus 25 will work (the Cumulus 25 cannot do anything but easy stuff), you could do quicker workouts (I would use the Takumi Sen 9 for out and out speed), you could do a HM in it although I would probably want a tad more cushioning and snap for HM and above.

    Boston 12…. How can you make an upper so bad??? Really think they are on to something with this midsole and glass fibre rods but that upper!!!! First Run 8 mile run and will never wear them again. The material across the toe box is constrictive and the heel cup is a disaster. The heel cup from what I can see consist of three pieces of plastic or stiffer inner material. I know this because I have 3 blister on each heel. The shoe was even uncomfortable to walk around in. When you spend over £100 on a pair of shoes and have to consign them to the bin after 8 miles is ridiculous.

    I just couldn’t vibe with the Boston 12, which sucks because the midsole feels fantastic. The upper, tongue, and lacing system were non-starters for me. My right foot is slightly wider than my left and it felt constricted in the mid foot, and even my lower volume left foot couldn’t get totally comfortable. The tongue and completely wacky lacing system just killed the shoe. The tongue folds and bunches and then the laces are all but impossible to deal with. Hopefully they don’t change the midsole, but redo the upper on v13. For now, the 12 is a regrettable pass for me.

    I loved the old Boston series up until the 10, although truth be told, they wouldn't cut it in today's shoe market. Didn't run in the 10 or the 11, but just got my pair of the 12's and this thing is great. Everything that Fordy says is spot on. The shoe is super versatile - it can go slow or fast and feels great underfoot. It just lets you do what you want. I wish the upper was a little less flimsy and the heel was a little more traditional, but for the summer months, the ventilation will be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to put a ton of miles on these. Also love that it's soft enough, but not super-squishy.

    I disagree: the only shoe you need in 2023 is the PUMA Deviate Nitro 2. It does everything the Boston 12 does, but better. Similar setup, high level foam under the forefoot, standard in the heel, supported by a carbon infused nylon plate, Pumagrip outsole with massive grip and durability. Plus it is cheaper and weighs less.
