r/BeginnersRunningWhat running gear did you wish you had earlier?

A watch to know what pace you're running at and to see your splits, also negates the need to take a phone. A pair of proper running shoes for my gait. I currently use Hoka Arahi 6 as I'm an overpronator and they made a massive difference compared to running in stock trainers, though I should upgrade soon.

r/AskRunningShoeGeeksBoston 13 and stability
3 months ago

I have tried Brooks Adrenaline GTS and Hoka Arahi 5 in the past. The arch support felt too aggressive for me. It killed my arches. I tried Hoka Clifton 9 and it felt similar but not as bad. Recently I tried on the NB Rebel v5 at dicks and while it felt so nice, just standing in the shoe for a few minutes, I could feel a pretty intense pressure on my arches. Bummer because I was really liking how they fit minus the arch discomfort.

r/hyroxStability shoes for Hyrox
5 months ago

Over-pronator here, training for Amsterdam too. I run and train for HYROX on Hoka Arahi 7s. Used to wear the Arahi 5. Perfect balance between speed and comfort, excellent grip, and good stability for me. However, it’s different for everyone. Do a proper analysis at runnersworld for example and try out different shoes for several km’s on a treadmill before settling.

If you want a Hoka shoe with stability, that would be the Arahi or the Gaviota.

Start with stability shoes since you have got knock knees they help control pronation. Check out ASICS Gel-Kayano, New Balance 860, or Brooks Adrenaline (all offer wide sizes and solid support). HOKA Arahi is great if you want max cushioning without losing stability. Try them on in-store late afternoon (feet swell), walk a bit and consider a firm orthotic if you need extra correction. Worth paying a bit more for fit it saves your knees and lasts longer.

I used to wear these, I've found saucony tempus and the new hoka arahi are also stability shoes with great arch support if you ever want to branch out!!

r/AskRunningShoeGeeksAre Stability Shoes are Trap?
7 months ago

This was me when I started running, ankles really did collapse in so the stability shows helped and the Hoka Arahai were so comfortable for me, but as I progressed they started to cause me issues and found that moving to a less supportive support shoe helped and then I ran in Brooks GTS of different flavours for a long long time but now I am more comfortable in neutral shoes and don't have the massive pronation that I did when I started running

r/PHRunnersBest shoes for obese wide feet
5 months ago

All 3 are quite narrow shoes so I wouldn’t recommend them. Supernova rise 2 wide toebox pero narrow sa mid. I’d recommend you get a free gait analysis sa kung san pinakamalapit sayo. But if di kaya, general reco ko is New Balance 1080, Hoka Arahi, Asics Novablast or Gel Nimbus, or Nike Pegasus or Structure. You don’t have to buy the latest model of the shoe if you’re on a budget. Kahit may Asics Novablast 5 na, I still recommend Novablast 4 to my friends kasi okay din naman tas mas mura or nakasale lagi kasi older version.

r/AskRunningShoeGeeksWould Stability shoes or Insoles lessen the pain
3 months ago

In the meantime if you like those Clifton’s just get a pair of Arahi. Is the same shoe as Clifton with a little firmer foam to help with over pronation. But exercises and running will help in the long run

r/UltramarathonTrying to find shoes that will last longer
about 2 months ago

Hi! Im a 23 year old woman who has been running consistently for around 5/6 years. Ive run a few marathons and a few ultras as well as a ton of half marathons, 5ks, 10ks, short trail races, etc. When it comes to shoes I am not picky, ive had good luck with tons of different shoes. Im just wondering if there are any brands/models that are know for lasting longer. Im a broke med student and I feel like so many of my shoes get worn out very quickly, granted I live in a very snowy wet area and run through the winter. For reference im a slow runner (my marathon PR is barely sub 4, I run like a 1:49 half, and around a 22:30 5k). I am not injury prone, the only running injury ive had was some minor IT band pain one time when I accidentally wore a pair of shoes for 800+ miles. I have very high arches but they havent caused issues and I dont usually wear stability shoes. Shoes ive worn and liked: Brooks glycerin Hoka arahi (a few years ago, i dont like the current model) Hoka mach 5/6/and X Saucony kinvara Brooks ghost Brooks cascadia (my current trail shoes) Saucony ride Saucony glide On cloud runners (these were like 6 years ago though) Hoka speedgoat Tbh ive had great luck with all of these. Ive never really had blisters except for one time on a 20 miler in a downpour and one blister during a 50 mile trail race. Im really just trying to find a pair of shoes to try that will last longer than 400 miles. I will also add that im currently training for my 4th marathon and a 50k trail race. I do also wear my trail shoes for hiking since I cant stand hiking boots. I do have narrow feet so occasionally ive had some brands that are just too wide for me. Id really appreciate any recommendations!
