    Posted a review on Reddit but really impressed with the EE3. I normally prefer a firmer shoe, but if Saucony was going to stick with IncrediRun, the changes are for the better here. The bounce feels more directed forward instead of a bit chaotic feeling, and the shoe feels more propulsive as a...

    Looks like the super soft foam in the Elite 2's is really working for you! Are you copping the 3's next month? Sounds like a similar feel but slightly more stable with the center cutout versus a lateral one.

    Sonicblast is more like a very protective max stack tempo trainer. It is made for long miles at a quicker pace but not really the all out type efforts of the Endorphin Pro. Pro’s more stripped back, lighter, lower to the ground. They both have a similar firm and poppy sensation if that’s what...

    I never got on with the SB2's. Felt blocky and kinda dead to me, gave up on them after about 80 miles. SB3's are much much better in that regard, still a touch big with the geometry and the heel is slightly clunky but FF Leap changed the character so much for the better.

    Yeah, in the Deviate Elite 1 and 2, Puma used a Nitrogen infused Peba. In the Deviate Elite 3 and 4(and Fast R) it is an ATPU. The latest regular Deviate Nitro 4 makes use of that same Peba from the Elite 1 and 2, which sounds like it has now made its way into the Deviate Nitro Pure in an...

    Velocity is more of a daily trainer that can do uptempo. This has Puma's better foam from the Deviate and is significantly lighter, though I agree it could cannibalize Velocity sales being only $10 more.

    Tough question, lots of things are so good right now. But if someone asked me to run a marathon tomorrow, my pick would either be the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo or Deviate Nitro Elite 4. This Hyperwarp Elite would get consideration depending on how it does on some long runs but it's too new for me to...

    Hyperwarp Elite is a banger-very cool to see Mizuno with a legit super shoe. Performance felt on par with the Asics Metaspeed shoes, which is amusing because they look similar and seemingly share the same upper. The Mizuno is a touch firmer and more stable as a result

    The Glycerin Flex being the first shoe like this in a while will hopefully inspire a few more to offer that more natural experience. The interesting thing about the Brooks is it has a decent stack with that much flexibility, so it's pretty protective. The old Pure and Free lines were very...

    Tried out the Glycerin Flex tonight for the first time, I enjoyed them but it’s definitely a unique ride/experience. I’ve spent so much time in rockered/plated shoes that my feet were not accustomed to having to do this much work! This will be great as a training tool. After a few miles my brain...

    I'm curious about the Ray but the awful looking durability and lack of stability kinda scares me away. FWIW, I ran a half marathon PR in the Edge Tokyo last week and it was incredible. The FF Leap in the forefoot gave the response I wanted while the firmer FF Turbo in the heel made it stable...

    They're really just stylistic, I don't notice them at all when running in the Hyperion Elite 5 versus anything else. Great shoe though! Maybe a touch underrated with everything out, I think Brooks misfired pricing them at $275 though in the current market, they're an A tier super shoe but maybe...

    I know elites are next level but someone using the Takumi Sen for a full marathon blows my mind. I'd probably take my pair for a maximum of 10 miles.

    It's far better than any of the boring daily trainers like the Saucony Ride, which is almost the same price and doesn't offer nearly the versatility of the Azura. Bang for the buck is off the charts with this shoe, I think it'll gather hype as more runners try it.
