Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I would say I generally have wide feet(maybe close to 2E but I’m not sure) I just did my first run in the EVO SL an hour ago. Came back with friction blisters on both my pinky toes. So I guess the more narrower toe box was an issue for me. I’ll probably try different lacing for a wider forefoot(hopefully), maybe get new socks or Vaseline my pinky toes. But in the mean time I’ll go back to the adidas supernova rise 2.
Hey, I also just started running again. My PB, six years ago, was 5k in 34 min (gotta start somewhere, right) and I'm aiming for the 30 min run now. I overpronate a bit and also look for shoes with a wide toe box. De back of my foot (heel?) is very narrow. I currently own an old pair of Saucony Liberty Iso and they have been great! But I'm from the Netherlands and they soak up every drop of rain (the goretex sounds good lol). Today I tried the Nike Structure 26 and the Pegasus 41. I really have to size up en the toebox isn't as wide as my Saucony's. I do like the feel of the Structure 26. I have now ordered the Adidas Supernova Rise 2. The are designed for comfort during running with a slightly wider toebox (I hope that's true) and they are said to be a neutral shoe with some support for overpronation. I am by no means an expert, but I do think when a shoe feels too snug, it probably is. Good luck on your search and keep it up with the baby, my kids are bigger en I'm only now starting to get back at it.
Yeah I just tried the Adidas and wow, they feel amazing! I'm not looking at Nike anymore lol.
Good to hear! I’ve got a pair sitting in my cart right now…I did order a pair of the Adidas Boston 13 first so I’m waiting to see how that goes. May just end up getting the SB 2 after all though just to have another solid pair of shoes ready to go.
Thanks for the input. I got a pair of the Supernova Rise 2 for free a couple of months back (using some of my club Adidas points!) but haven’t really used them much yet as they definitely were slower than the EVO SLs…but it sounds like I’ll need to throw them back on and give them another shot.
Mine is all city/urban roads so I don’t trust a single driver to be running with traffic. Already have had to jump onto the curb a few times to avoid getting hit so definitely can’t trust what I can’t see coming at me. I just ordered a pair of the Boston 13s. Was able to snag 20% off by using Apple Pay.
Supernova rise 2. I have like 4 different pairs but these are the most comfortable even with over 500 miles.
I really like my Adidas Rise 2's and think they're very underrated as a daily with a bit of pop and good stability. The Vomero plus may compliment Evo SL's better if you're after a much softer recovery shoe.
Same, I also sold the EVO SL because they were too tight. The Supernova Rise 2 was fine, EVO SL is way tighter.
