Any one tried the Fresh Foam X Balos yet?
"OTHER BRAND" - RUNNING shoe thread - asics, saucony, new balance, hoka one one, adidas, reebok, brooks, altra, skechers, etc...
- Thread in 'Other Brands' Thread starter Started by rfx45,
- Start date
best way to describe them is a more "super" version of the 1080v13 with the balos have a very fun bounce and ride (due to rocker) that you'll really enjoy especially on those long runs

I’m looking to pick up a new trainer and am trying to decide between the Balos and the Puma Magmax.

Some shots of the new upcoming superblast 2 colorways
tbh thought the black/white pair was gonna be a bit darker on the upper.

Back order finally came in.. been wanting a running shoe in this color for a while. Time to see how these ride!
Btw Asics military discount is unmatched!
Their med/military discount used to get as high as 50% a few years ago (around the time that the SB1s launched). Can't really complain at the 25% off though!
limited drop few months back to be eligible for olympic athletes running the marathon - wider release in 2025

the metspeed sky is a great running shoe, one of the best fitting uppers and i like how wide it is on the forefoot without feeling heavy, makes it feel more stable where in other more narrow shoes, it feels like my ankle is working harder to keep my form
stability alone my make it my pick for race days over the VFs
the shoe also initially felt like it has a higher stack height on the forefoot but once you get going, you dont notice it as much, just feels like more cushion for the ball of your foot while keeping the smooth transition, i dig it… a lot
outsole could be more durable for the price but not much else to complain about
shoe looks good too but i am still one of those inconspicuous runners so i want my simple black upper/white midsole pair but the usain bolt cw does add a lil more horsepower to my legs so ill work with it

IMO still the best colorway on any shoe asics has done ever. I wish the metaspeed paris series looked as good as these shoes.

Can any of y'all comment on Novablast 4 and Kayano 31 sizing?
I may be an outlier but I had to go down .5 size from my regular 10.5 (Nike, NB, Saucony, etc.) in the NV4. TTS was a bit too long—felt like I needed a 10.25, if you know what I mean.

Men novablast 4 fit a tad long for me, had to go 0.5 down or tried a women's tts and it fit better than the men, was just right in length.

I took the Mach X2 out for a first run this morning and really enjoyed them. I ordered them from REI over the weekend and received them yesterday. I think they’re the only online retailer that has them available before the official launch date.
I’ve enjoyed Hoka’s line this year. The Skyward X is one of my favorite shoes this year and am enjoying the Skyflow recently.
The Mach X2 feels more nimble than the Skyward X and Skyflow and the forefoot rocker works really well with my foot strike as a forefoot striking supinator.
My first run was a progressive run and it felt good at all paces but shined as I picked up the pace. My only concern was the heel counter. It’s pretty minimal and didn’t feel great when I put on the shoes but I didn’t notice it once I started the run.
I didn’t run in the first version of this shoe but I think Hoka did a great job with this one.

Those look like a smooth ride? What’s the drop? Like the cw/design.I took the Mach X2 out for a first run this morning and really enjoyed them.
