Do you think the Frees are good for your running? Like, in the sense that they prevents injuries the way minimalist advocates would say. I dont run that far: 5-10 k at the most. But most of my shoes are pretty cushiony (like the Reacts) so im curious if adding these to a rotation help me or...
I picked up thr Vomero 14 a couple of weeks ago. I never had the older Vomeros. Its definitely bouncier than the Pegs. Its more like a Peg than an Epic React, but you can notice the React cushioning compared to the Peg. I like them. The padding on the ankle takes some getting used to but...
You can try the Odyssey React. It's the same price but the React is bouncy and soft compared to the Pegasus 35. Especially for casual wear. I'm still on the fence whether I like it for running. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I don't.
The React is a little thinner on the Odyssey. You may not notice for an everyday shoe, but it is evident when running. The upper on the Odyssey is a lot snugger due to the neoprene tongue. It feels more locked in. I like them both, but I prefer the Epic for running.
The Peg 34 definitely irritated my achillies. The 35 is a lot better. I'm sure the looks is an added bonus for Nike (I like it as well), but it was to the point that I couldn't even walk around in my 34's without my achilles *****ing. That's the only shoe I had that problem with. Probably the...
They did people with sensitve hamstrings a huge favor, though. That's why I love the 35s over the 34's which I couldn't wear after a while becuase the sides of the heel collar dug into my ankles.
I've had my Odyssey Reacts for a couple of months and Epic Reacts for a month. Long story short: I like the Epic Reacts better.
Long story long: the upper on the two is very different. So different that it's almost not fair to compare them. The Odyssey has a snug fit, mostly from the...
I run with my phone in a SPI belt. I find if i position it correctly it wont bounce and i dont notice it at all. (about halfway between front and side for me)
I have the Odyssey React and the Pegasus 35. I run about the same distance you do. Between the two, I think the React foam is more "fun" to run in. But both are good shoes. It just depends on which feel you're going for. The React foam is very cushiony and bouncy but the Odyssey's upper is...
