Adizero Boston 11

Sales + runrepeat. Needs to be at least half off. If I’m being honest more like 66%+ off. I’m running in speed 2s, Boston 11s, triumph 19, and glycerin 20s because they were on sale.

Never tried the endorphin speed 4 but love the endorphin speed 5. Before these I've been a huge fan of the Adidas Boston line. Got over 400 miles out of the Boston 11 and Boston 12, and I have a pair of 13 waiting for when my Ultra boost 5x hit 400 miles. I'm 6'6 220 and a bigger guy but the Boston are definitely worth a shot. Plus, they are on sale quite a bit

The Megablast is a great shoe, and it can do it all, but it's expensive, and I'm not sure I'll get 250 miles on mine before the outsole on the heel wears through. You can still find the Adidas Boston 10, it's cheap, it will last for 500 miles, it's the most underrated shoe of the last 5 years, and that's a hill I will die on. It's not the greatest for easy/recovery days, and it takes about 30 miles to break in, but it's otherwise excellent.

The upper is a perfect fit for my foot, they strike a great balance between stability and encouraging a roll through my stride, I can run in them 5 days a week through 500 miles and never get any weird niggles in my metatarsals, ankles, shins, calves, knees, hips, etc... the outsole has fantastic grip, and it outlasts most of the competing shoes I've worn over the last 4 years. It was widely panned by shoetubers because it does have a pretty long break-in period. They don't have time to put 50 or 60 miles into a shoe, especially when it doesn't feel optimal out of the box. Why would they waste time on an underwhelming shoe when they need to put miles on a dozen others? I admit it's a little stiff and blocky at first, but if you do put those miles in, the Boston 10 starts to shine. At a time when I was training in both a pair of Boston 10s with about 300 miles on them and a retired pair of Adidas Pro 3s, I noticed that those two shoes had many more similarities than differences in ride and performance. The firm, yet bouncy and responsive foam was almost identical between the two. I'm on my 5th pair of Boston 10s, and occasionally I'll spend a lot of time rotating through other pairs of shoes, and find myself questioning if the Boston 10 is really as good as I remember after all these years. I might somewhat reluctantly pick up a battered pair for a low-stakes interval workout because it's raining outside, proceed to crush the workout, and re-commit to acknowledging their greatness. It's the best all-around workhorse shoe I've ever owned. It's not the best for slow recovery runs, but at least you won't hurt yourself running slow in them. I haven't tried the Boston 13, but I think I had 2 or 3 pairs of the Boston 12. The 12 was an excellent shoe, but it started losing some pop around 250 miles, which is about the time the 10 was transforming into a super shoe. (PS It's worth noting that I average about 175lbs. If you weigh 130lbs, your Boston 10 MMV) (PPS When you get a pair, which you should, compare the silhouette and the midsole geometry to the Evo SL)

If you are training for a marathon, I would say go for something that balances comfort and support over pure speed. Carbon-plated shoes like Alphafly are great for race day, but not ideal for daily runs, they wear out faster and can strain your legs over time. For everyday training, shoes like ASICS Gel-Nimbus or New Balance 1080 are solid picks, comfy, durable and still responsive. If you like lightweight ones, Adizero Boston could be a good middle ground. Try a few pairs and see what fits your stride best.

EVO SL for daily use, Boston if you want to push to a little more speed/tempo work

You don't want stiff and bulky, but shortlisted the Sonicblast? Rebel has shifted into a much softer, more bouncy daily shoe than a speed one. Boston and DN3 are probably closest to your brief out of those, but I'd vouch for the Vaporfly 4 as an alternative - technically a "full carbon racer", but amongst the lightest shoes you can buy, very comfortable and huge energy return... Knocked a full minute off my 5k PB first time I ran in them and only shoe I've worn where going under 4min/km didn't feel like hell.

The answer is the Evo SL but people are discounting the Boston in here and I think it’s a fine shoe for a daily. A little firm but it’s stiffness makes it good for a range of paces and it’s a great do-it-all kind of shoe for an “average speed runner”.
