I bought most of the shoes, these guys told me, so i now have: Superblast 1 and 2 Endorphine Speed 4 Puma Velocity Nitro 3 Saucony Hurricane 24, Puma Magmax Nitro Saucony Triumph 21 Agree with consensus opinion that Superblast is best.
I'm a starting runner and still more than a bit of a plodder. Superblast 2 does everything I need right now. I actually have to make myself use other shoes just to even out wear and give it some rest.
Superblast is best for longer runs. Find some cheaper shoe for your other runs. And use the Superblast where it excels. One other shoe for easy runs and one for faster efforts. Cost is not a problem. You need to look at cost pr kilometer. And Superblast is very expensive. So you will save money.
Superblast 2 all day.... Definitely not fastest at 5k, but I've ran it across all distances up to 50k and it's a gift that keeps giving. Also decent durability.
I’ve got a pair of Saucony Speed 4s arriving this afternoon-my first time trying Saucony shoes! I’ve been running in the Puma Deviate Nitro 2s, so I’m excited to see how the Speed 4s compare. Can’t wait to take them out for a run this evening! 😁
@@z.3368 So some initial post first run thoughts. Right off the bat I wasn’t sure I was going to like these, the foam felt much firmer than the dn2’s. The dn2’s I can literally squish the foam with one hand, I can’t do that with the ses4’s and was thinking it was going to be too firm a ride for my liking. Two steps in that fear was expunged, the foam to touch is deceiving but this is by no means a firm shoe. They’re super responsive and nicely cushioned but you don’t have that bottomed out feeling. They also feel very stable at slower paces. I felt the dn2 could be a bit unstable at times, and could have done with some reinforcement around the heel. They also felt snappy as I picked up the pace, and as I spend more time in the shoe I can already tell I’m going to enjoy these. Only a quick 5 miles this evening but so far very impressed and looking forward to putting some miles down in these shoes.
Would love to see what you guys would pick for a full shoe rotation, including race day, and training, with the only limitation being a modest total combined £600 spend, and the intention of the shoes must last one full year of races and training. Would you pick 2 highend shoes, or go for 3 or 4 lower end shoes...🤔
We did our rotations vid earlier this year, might be some changes now but you get the idea! ruclips.net/video/eThN1kzoTBg/видео.html Mine of Meta Sky Paris, Vel Nitro 3 and Endo Speed 4 is under £600 I think, off the top of my head
Amazed and impressed that Nick's marathon pace is 3:30 and 5K pace is 3:10. Is that normal for someone of his (high) standard? Mike is bang on about PumaGrip and trails. I took my (third pair) of PVN2's onto the trails of the New Forest this morning and at no point did I miss my trail shoes.
Absolutely agree with the SuperBlast 2…as the best do it all shoe. I could NEVER think about doing an easy or recovery run in the Speed 4. The Speed 4 is too firm for easy/recovery…but more importantly…the Speed 4 does not want to run slow or easy at all. I constantly run at faster paces than targeted, when wearing the Speed 4. This is why I have the Speed 4 as my speed workout shoe. It is a great shoe, but for me, it’s got one job that it does very well…but it’s not great for everything.
Any chance you guys will be reviewing the Under Armour Velociti Pro? It’s UAs attempt at a super trainer with a pebax plate and a dual foam set up. On paper it’s close to the Mach X 2 and the Neo Vista among others on the category. UA shoes are always polarizing so seeing your multi tester review would be interesting! Great channel, love the content!!
Bought the Neo Vista with high hopes, but realised there was no space to do a runners loop due to the lace design. Disappointed as seemed great otherwise!
i can not stand the neo vista it was so soft i almost hurt myself plus after one run mizuno would not take them back had to resell on the secondary market
For me it is the novablast 4 its half the price of the superblast 2 because of the many discounts on the novablast 4 and its almost no different in performance.
I would not agree with the "almost no difference". If so a Jolt 4 runner could also say their is almost no difference to the Novablast beside its half the price. Novablast is a good shoe but their is a reason why Superblast's are out of stock. In the end both shoes are good. One is better but also more expensive. Better one costs more is clear... If the price is fair at all is subjective.
@@scherry2900 Superblast are out of stock because Asics makes far less of them, not because people buy more of them. Asics sells more total NB than SB shoes.
Kieran picks the Speed 4, all is good with the world! Great shoe, bought 2 weeks ago, love wearing. Mach 6 also very good.

It has to be the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2.

I went from deviate nitro 2 to speed 3 and haven't looked back since
Plese give some update, also run two marathons in puma DN2 and want to switch to saucony speed3/4 or pro3.
Did my first marathon (3 hours and 43 minutes) in the Pro 3. Lovely shoe -great bounce, great rocker, super light. @@z.3368
I keep coming back to the Endorphin Speed, enjoy the 4s!

This is a very good challenge, especially adding in a budget
This is a good one. We have spoken about this before. Would be fun to do.

Mach X2 for me. Brilliant shoe for speed work
Hoka mach x2 wins for me. The superblast is good but it's just not much fun compared to the Hoka mach x2

what do you think about the mach 6

Does anybody recommend newbalace rebel v4 over these shoes ? Or should I buy the adidas boston 12
I have both. It depends on what you like. If you want softness, go for the rebel. The adidas is slightly firmer
i can not stand the neo vista it was so soft i almost hurt myself plus after one run mizuno would not take them back had to resell on the secondary market

Hoka mach X2 has bad back heel, I reckon ES4 instead. Hoka u made a mistake!
Speed 4 was a downgrade compared to Speed 3 for me.
Can you please elaborate in more detail.
@@z.3368 more flare, more narrow, less soft
I’ve had both and prefer 4 over 3 . Retired my 3s at 1000km and currently over 500km on my 4s .
@@df123456ifyaass yes the 4 is faster, the 3 is good for easy runs
I had 3 pairs of the 3s and I'm now breaking in my 1st pair of the 4s... I couldn't say if one is better than the other, both work for me
