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.
