Do you feel like the cushion is almost gone at all? I have the 15 and at about 100 miles mine felt dead. I still use them from time to time, but i rememeber LOVING them at first, and then they lost all their pop.
I love the fit and style though. Perfect IMO. Prob my favorite shoe.
They didnt have the wide version to try on. The originals didn't feel bad but I was thinking possible I'm just used to shoes being snug if my foots wide. The only running shoe ive had is the noosa tri 15 and was having problems with my big toe nail turning black and falling off. Didnt know if maybe that was the cause. I do use a runners loop now too. Appreciate you responding though
It’s me, I am the dissatisfied owner lol. I just want them to use a better grade durable sole on the most recent versions. I’ve been wearing Noosa tris since the 7 model, and the 14-16s have broken down incredibly fast. I’ve purchased 9 pairs and they just don’t hold up like previous models. It makes me sad because the Noosa Tri is my absolute favorite irreplaceable shoe for both trail and road running. Here’s a pic of a recent pair.

I used to love the Noosa tris but since the 14s the foam has degraded incredibly quickly to the point I wear holes in the soles after only a couple hundred miles. They are an incredible shoe, at FIRST. For the price point and the rate at which they wear out I’ve had to search for a different shoe, but have t yet found one that fits as well as the Noosa Tri did.
Best shoe in the world were my Noosa Tri 9s. And I love the insane colors they do on these.
Maybe you will have better luck with them
You've described my feet.
I have :
New Balance Rebel v5 - UK size 10- for easy runs
Superblast 2s - UK size 9.5 - for long runs and tempo
Endorphin Pro 4s - UK size 9 - for races (done a half marathon in them)
Noosa Tri 15s - now old with high mileage but use them when the weather is bad for easy/recovery runs.
On my superblasts and endorphin pros I use gap/skip lacing - this helps with the high arch/volume. I used to get plantar fasciitis before I discovered this lacing technique
My new balances have a really wide base and I don't know if it's related but I don't need this lacing for them.
My view of this subject now is that you just need to try shoes on. I have a very wide midfoot and high volume feet - the shoes that work for me (ie my foot isn't hanging over the edge) have been - superblast, endorphin pro 4, rebel v5, Noosa tri 15, Alphafly 3, azura.
The worst fit was the supercomp elite v4 - over a finger width of midfoot overhanging from underneath. The Adios pro 4 also had some overhang but not as bad.
I also have glycerin 22s and I get a lot of heel slippage and therefore blisters but they are good for width. Probably couldn't have know this just from trying them in the shop though and needed a long run in them for it to be noticeable.
Typical guidance is that the supercomp is the best for width but obviously the wasn't my experience.
Whilst hearing other people's experiences can be useful, I feel like standard guidance should just be - go try them on as feet can be so different and width can vary in terms of which part of the foot etc
