Just recently had to start using custom orthotics for my messed up feet. Problem is they are thick and in almost of my running shoes the heal slippage is insane now. Anyone have any suggestions of higher backed heal areas of running shoes??

Try the Infinity; its insole is ridiculously thin. I’ve swapped it for a Turbo insole—which are kind of thick—and had no problems with the fit. In fact, it improved the ride.

Also, I’ve used Currex insoles in the Infinity with no problems.

My only experience running in ASICS is the Superblast so I haven’t previously paid attention to if/when their shoes are discounted by the brand itself or some other merchant. But lately I’ve been on the lookout for the Superblast on sale, with no luck. Are they a stingy brand?

Asics hardly ever had any discount on their shoes, unless you are first responder or a medical staff.
Saucony and Adidas offer good discount few times even on their current line up.

It’s just disappointing when they’re excluded from promos EVERYWHERE. Smh.

Might wanna keep an eye on Footlocker. They carry 1080v12's. NB running shoes usually eligible when the footstore 25-30% discos pop up. I got a pair of 1080v11's last year with the 30% off discount.

The Tonal Yellow one will be taking my moneyz!

If anyone likes the very minimal, lightweight tempo category, the Puma Liberate Nitro 2 just launched on Running Warehouse. V1 was an incredible shoe for the price, my only wish was for a bit more forefoot cushion which it seems like they’ve added.

They’re actually described as “Pineapple”.

It's easily the best cw for the EP3s to me! I want to scoop them up NAO, but I learned my lesson from the Campfires.

Had a workout in the SC Elite’s this morning and was pleasantly surprised at the propulsive effect from them. My perceived effort was significantly lower than the paces my watch was showing, which wasn’t the case with the RC Elite v2. A word of caution, I’d wear thick socks with these as the upper places a good amount of pressure on your lateral ankle. Otherwise they’re great!

Was curious about the ankle collar situation I’ve been hearing about. You think thicker socks resolves it?

The stitching along the collar protrudes inwards and applies pressure to your ankle. I could see thin socks really being an issue but I did 7 miles in these with a thicker sock and didn't have any irritation afterwards. It feels like a design oversight from NB which is a shame because the rest of the shoe is really good. It wasn't bad enough for me to not train in them but just something to be aware of if you're looking to buy them.

I’ve read and watched reviews of a couple of users complaining about the upper. The knitted certainly looks nice though! I’ve got the Pineapple cw OTW, and I can’t wait to try them out.

It's super comfortable except for that one area where it presses on your lateral ankle. That said, I didn't feel the pressure at all when I was running, just make sure you have a bit thicker socks to prevent rubbing right there. Enjoy them, it was a LOT of fun!
