Invincible 3

I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 45 minutes in New balance 1080 v13. I highly recommend them. I tried the nike invincible 3 and novablast 4 in my long runs, but the 1080s were just perfect, comfortable and stable.

I have to disagree on this, my Achilles tendons do not like them. I've been using my Invincible 3's and ZF6's and it getting slower better, the problems occured after using the SB2 for longer runs.

No, not sure, maybe because I'm on the heavier side, fit but heavier for running, 90kg/220lbs. Next Tuesday I have an appointment with a physiotherapist, I'll bring my Invincible 3's and SB2's. Today I did an easy run on my ZF6, for the 2nd time, I still feel them, but it still feels like it is getting better.

The Invincibles are great shoes for long, easy miles in my opinion. I have over 500k of them and they still hold up. Left upper is coming loose a bit from the foam, but they still feel great. However, I am thinking about with what shoe to replace them.

6’1, 205 (was ~245 through training) my favourite daily trainers have been the triumph 21 (hated them at first but after ~50km they became my absolute favourite) still going strong 500kms in. I also enjoyed the Nike Invincible 3 (600kms in but they’re dead now)

I just got the Nike Invincible Run 3 for long training sessions. So far so good, but hard to tell because my quads and glutes have felt so cooked lately. I gotta get over this feeling, no pain, just heeeaaavvy upper legs. 

I purchased the Vomero 18 with high hopes, but had to shelf them. My calves and shins were so sore after each of three different 5k easy runs. I’ve heard such good things and really wanted to like them, but figured they just weren’t right for me. I have run in the Nike Invincible 3 for past couple of years and been very happy. My understanding is the Vomero Plus has replaced the Invincible. Is there any reason I should give these Vomero Plus a try if the Vomero 18 didn’t work for me?

Not OP but I have 135km in my Vomero Plus and I just lace them normally, but the only shoes I've had for do a heel lock lacing for is the Nike Invincible 3 and Puma Velocity 2

I picked these up today and did a double day with these going first on a 15km then 10km later on with the OG Invincibles (my second pair, my fav max cushion shoes of all time. Hated the third btw due to heel fit and dulled ride). I feel that those who liked the first version (and second too I’d guess, as the first two are more similar than different) will most likely get on with the Vomero Plus well, though with caveat being of course that I just got the Plus and my 1’s already have 150km or so on it. The fit in the heel is fixed from the 3 and is almost identical to the fit on the 1, and the underfoot feel of the last is very similar as well. Upper fit similarly, although Plus seems maybe tiny bit narrower in the toebox but it still didn’t cause issues for my slightly wide feet. Did not notice much difference in terms of breathability. In terms of the cushioning, the difference in forefoot cushioning is substantial, with Plus having a LOT more there - forefoot strikers will definitely appreciate this more than the 1. The ZoomX feel overall is different, however; the OG ZoomX had this very pleasant sink in then having this very natural energy return/bounce back as you lift off. The new formulation in the Plus still has the initial sinking in, but it almost feels like your feet hits something quite firm and refuse to sink further, then gives this abrupt propulsion forward… is the best way I can explain it. I would say this definitely makes the heel strikes more stable on the Plus over the Invincible 1’s, as 1’s heel can definitely sometimes feel unstable at times. Overall, it is definitely much more max cushion than the previous versions, with the 1’s now almost feeling more like a daily trainer by today’s standards. I’d call this the true evolution of the Invincible 1/2’s; had this Plus version been the Invincible 3’s, I feel that the 3’s would have been received a whole lot better than it was.
