Glycerin GTS 22

I was thinking about these, but I don't need the extra cushion in the forefoot. Bought the 22's at a discount. They are feeling a little better as the mileage rolls on, but still feel a step or two behind similar choices. The 22's are comfy, well cushioned and supportive, but feel heavy, sluggish and big. They are my primary long run shoe at the moment.

Hey I had the Pegasus Turbo Next Nature. "Isn't that great" is being kind. It's an awful running shoe. Terrible transitions, clunky, hard to put on, not well cushioned, heavy, not responsive... It is a great walking shoe though. I'm something around 95kg. I really like the Asics Glideride Max 2. I didn't at first. It felt a little stiff. After about 20 miles it got a little softer and smoother. It's pretty light weight especially considering the stack height. It's lightly firm, but has endless depth of cushion. To me that's ideal for a heavier runner. I've run up to 10 miles in it without issue. I did some intervals at a 7:30 pace without issue. It's relatively nimble for being a tall shoe. Lockdown is excellent. I don't need as much cushioning in the forefoot, but overall it's a reasonable shoe. In my current rotation: Glycerin 22 gts : Heavy, comfy, stable, well cushioned, like taking medicine in shoe form (fair) Vomero 17: Soft, conventional feel, comfy (good) Balos: Soft, lightly bouncy, comfy, plush, very rockered, favorite long run shoe (awesome) Waverider 28: Firm, feels like an economy version of the Glideride, but high drop (fair) Noosa Tri 16: Firm, light, fast, stable, smooth transitions (great) I've run at least 10 miles in all of them. I've run up to 16 in the Balos and it's wonderful on the long run. I struggle to make the Balos go fast, but an under 60 minute 10k is easily doable in any of them. The Noosa Tri is the easiest to run fast in and the least amount of cushion.

If only it was that easy. Buy the SUX5000. Sure it costs $300, but it's the absolute best long run shoe for every single runner. You have to actually like try them on and go for a run. My favorite is the NB Balos, but it may be too soft for you . I also do long runs in the Glycerin 22gts which I don't like much, but some people love them. This morning I ran in an old pair of SC Elite v3's which I love, but they still bite my ankles even after almost 200 miles. I loved the Triumph 20's, but some people oddly enough find them unstable. I loved the Nike Invincible OG, but they ruined it by the time the Invincible 3 came around. Some people actually liked the invincible 3. Point is don't obsess over reviews. Look at reviews, but then take a pair for a run and see how you like them. It's how they feel to you that is important.
