WHO Runners, Shoe advice
|
|
I know there are a few on here who run as well,
What shoes do you use?
Using ASICS Nimbus 23 but looking at getting the Hoka Clifton 8, any good? Or what do you use.
ASICS can fuck off, only 4 months old and sole is badly wearing and upper developing a hole in the mesh.

Not a runner but I walk fucking miles every week.
On Running trainers are by far the most comfortable trainers I've ever had and they're resilient as well

I second ON. By far the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I've used them on 60 mile walks.

I’ve always used ASICS gel, the only
Issue I’ve ever had is, as you say, holes in the toe box. Don’t see it as a problem though, improved ventilation and more space for the big toe ;-)
Usually get up to 1000 miles out of a pair without any niggles

Been using the Asics GT2000 series for 15 years now and never had a pair that hasn’t developed the toe hole in the right shoe. They’re the only ones I’m comfortable running in though so have to keep buying them.

Another vote here for ASICS if you're running.

Have used Asics for a few years but the last 2 pairs just have not lasted, think I will give the Hoka a go, reviews are good.

I like Brooks. model depending on your foot width and how your running style suits good to do a pronate test see how you put your feet down any rolling on your knee etc

I've had Asics, Brooks and Saucony in the past all good. What I find with all of them is you get to like a model then they tinker with it for the next iteration and it doesnt work.
I got gifted some Hokas and they are the tits for the rare times I do distance but for every day 5 - 10k and boot camp I have a pair of odd coloured Sauconys that work. For Trails and Winter Boot Camp New Balance work perfectly for me.

I have bought Nike Pegasus and On Cloud Flyer in the last few months after previously wearing Asics for a number of years. All are good running shoes but the Nike just feel so much more comfortable and I run better as well. I street run by the way.

I would get in touch with Ascis- how many miles old are they… sound like a product issue
I have only run in Pegasus as I know they suit and don’t want to risk others. I tend to buy in the sales just after the newest incarnation comes out for half price.

I did return the first pair of Nimbus, they had done only 270klms according to Strava and the Garmin watch, they replaced them and the new pair are at 570 Kim’s so better but usually I would get closer to 800 plus from my shoes
Think it’s just a quality issue with that particular shoe, other than that they are very comfortable and good support.

Potentially stupid question, those who have any of the On runners - do you wear socks with them? I gather they are a triathlon shoe and obviously wouldn't be worn with socks usually.

I use Mizuno Wave Rider and found them to be very comfortable and have lasted pretty well.

They do many different shoes for many different uses.
I use the Cloudsurfer.

Its a bit of a contradiction in that a Boot Camp should be intensive training for a short period of time and I have been going for 10 years.
Just works for me, good intensity, outdoors whatever the weather. Have stuck at it longer than any gym.
