    I rarely talk about the durability of shoes but I had the Speed 1 and two pair of Speed 2s and the PR PB being a PEBA based foam reduces the durability too much for me. After 650 Ks/400 miles got so squishy that my knees started hurting. About 650 Ks on my Bostons now and they still feel brand new. I feel like for a cheaper price with the Boston you're buying a shoe that lasts twice as long.

    Really useful vid. I've had endorphin speed 1,2 and 3s. If I do an autumn marathon, I can easily see me using that for training. 5k and 10k training this summer though, might give the bostons a whirl.

    I’ve got the speed 3 and Boston. I found the Boston really hard until you get 20-30 miles to soften the foam. I also find I get a bit of a blister on my right foot with the Boston.
    Speed 3 wins for me, did my first marathon in it and felt super comfortable and can get some pace out of it when you want to!

      @@michaelichsanprado9675Honestly, I would just as fast in either one. I "feel" faster" and more comfy if I am going all out in a 10K with the Boston 12's. BTW: I am 59, been running for about 48 years and my time is usually about 42-44 minutes for a 10K.

    I love the Boston 12's once they are on but man, the upper is fussy. It takes me a couple of minutes to get them laced properly and often I need to stop and readjust the laces once after starting out on my run.

  • @TheAkenno
    @TheAkenno 24 дня назад +1

    Nick is spot on. Love the Boston 12, I wish they would just add a slight amount of padding to the tongue just to stop the lace pressure. Otherwise, fantastic shoe even with the fussy upper and it's always on discount somewhere.

    • @fergusdenoon1255
      @fergusdenoon1255 19 дней назад

      I buy 2mm sticky backed foam from a craft store, you can use it on tongues to alleviate pressure, or on heels to stop slipping, or change a 10mm drop to a 8mm drop, very useful stuff, weighs practically nothing.

    Couldn’t agree more,your analysis is on point on all part and that’s exactly how I prefer to used them.
    Great Shoes both.
    I’m very curious how the future ASICS Magic Speed 4 and maybe the Nike Zoom Fly 6 will fair compared to those two.

    Nick how the 2 compare with Puma Nitro Elite 2? I am tempted to try the Puma as a daily trainer as after enjoying several Speed 2, I did not like Speed 3. Cheers

    • @Ginguredrunner

      The Puma Deviate 2 would be a better comparison...which is also an awesome shoe (although I wish it had a bit more rocker action)

      Yeah, this was a good video, but as the Boston is about to be updated (whilst the Speed was recently updated), it would have been useful to mention this difference in the shoes' launch cycles.

    Or get both so you can rotate. One for faster runs one for longer mixed runs. But don't go crazy like me get two pairs of shoes for every possible kind of runs.

    ES4 has lost its way… Saucony have daily trainers, bring back the “Speed”. Also couldn’t get along with the ES4 due to the tapered toe box. Much prefer the B12, but also the Tyr Speedworks - genuine contender in this category!
