Just took a risk and bought the Mach X2 with $90. Found it more fun than Sperblast 2. The bounce from forefoot feels so good. Also no issues with the ankle.
Some combo of MagMax 2, UFO, Superblast 2, Megablast, Aerogoat 3 GRVL, Sky Paris, Vomero 18, Rebel V4, and most recently Azura. Rotate based on vibes, minus the race shoe really everything gets worn for whatever I feel like.
I’m wearing on cloud surfers right now at work in a clinic. I got them at a running swap meet. I would never in a millisecond run in them. Day to day, running errands, in a clinic, around the house, sure. But literally running, absolutely not. Some brands sell a lifestyle, others sell actual running shoes.
(I know that last line was harsh and I’ve worn cloud monsters and I have a pair on Mach 2s I got as a pacer for a group that I wear sparingly. Like I said, fine, but I’m a new balance girlie. I’m on my 7th pair of fuel cell trainers and just tried sonic blasts from asics because the rep is an acquaintance and has been hyping them since TRE last year)
thanks! this is great to hear. I have them in my sights but i am a bit cheap and waiting to get a (heavy) discount voucher will i get in 2 months or so :)
I am training for my first marathon and think these might be a good choice (my latest HM is 1:36, targeting 3:30 for my first FM). But even if not, i am sure i will get to use them in shorter races. How do you think they compare to the Endorphin Pro 4 for comfort? While i love light shoes, I guess my top priority should be comfort for my first marathon. (and i probably dont need anything too fancy for a 3:30)
I have a few other shoes :)
Superblast - Always a good choice as I find them super comfortable, but they can feel a bit like too much shoe at times.
Mach X2 - Love this shoe but it tends to give me heel blisters if i dont use plasters, so i wouldnt trust them for a marathon
Vaporfly 3 - My shoe of choice for anything up to HM, but i am not sure i could manage a full marathon in them, my calves suffer in the end of HM (although my FM pace will be a lot slower than HM pace).
Endorphin pro 4 - I really like them, I havent found a fault in them yet, but i just bought them barely any mileage on them
