ADIDAS - Adizero Boston 8

Boston 8, 9 (with Boost) - phenomenal shoes (still). ;)

Every shoe company has a tempo shoe eg Adidas Bostons have carbon rods but arent full on racing shoes,and this is a good compromise.I can get 500 miles out of then but they still feel reasonably fast for MP or tempo runs.

Adidas Bostons:i can get 500 miles plus out of them and run between 5 min and 8 min mile pace in them over intervals and long runs,just takes 50 miles to break them in properly but are usually good value between 90 and 120 pounds

I gave Nike way too many chances, but they are not for me. I found the Pegasus uncomfortable. I prefer Adidas, give me a Boston and I’m happy

ASICS movables and Adidas Boston have held up pretty good for me

I have the Boston’s too and they’re amazing! But important to note they’re not the easiest shoe for a lot of people. They do have carbon rods and they are relatively firm with a lower heel drop than some others. I’m not sure I’d recommend them for a first marathon

I don’t think “too slow” is the issue. If people see gains at a slower pace, even if they are less compared to faster runners, who cares? The issue is that for a first marathon carbon can be a lot. The current recommendation is that you should be able to do 25 single leg raises on each leg before your calves are strong enough.

For me trail.i can run on road with my trail shoes, but can't imagine going on proper trail with my road shoes (Adidas Boston). 

I don't love any of those three. Non-technical trail means road shoes will be more than fine. Pack the Peregrines, I guess, but they're just unneccessary weight for most of your time on feet. Evo SL is an amazing shoe but I find them too unstable for > 6 hours. Pro4 is the wrong tool for the job of going \~4.2 mph for half a day or a full day. In my 12-24 hour non technical races I've liked the Puma Magmax, Adidas Boston, NB Supercomp Trainer.

Long runs are always Adidas Bostons. Speed and track are Puma Deviant...with track work with newer shoes, and off track speed work being my older pair. For easy days and non-specific running I wear Saucony Triumphs. I love the Bostons for distance - I haven't found anything that matches them for wearability over 30km (but open to suggestions). The Puma's feel so right at faster paces, but by 15km they're not the most comfortable. Saucony is just easy. I literally never think about them - slip on and go.

I'm a frequent international traveler. Asics Nimbus is my top choice because it's a reliable daily trainer that doubles as a comfortable walking shoe. It's stable, has good traction, and looks good. Worked great for me while touring Europe. I would never travel with my Nova 5s. They're just not comfortable nor supportive enough to run and wear all day. Too slick on wet pavement. Cumulus doesn't have the best traction either. I've had EVOs. Personally, I'd reserve them for running only. The upper lacks that step in comfort and luxurious feel for all day use. The geometry is suited for performance running. Boston is a bit firm and might get annoying if you're walking in them all day.

I have similar issues with my big toe, so typically seek well-rockered shoes with less toe flexibility. You will likely also now find yourself running with a more rigid foot on its outside, meaning you’ll need good cushioning. Runrepeat.com does a flexibility test on shoes - might be worth a look. Adidas Boston is one model I’ve had good luck with as well as Saucony Triumph. Just make sure you have a good amount of room in the toe box to prevent irritation.
