SUPERBLAST 2
Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

zoom fly 5’s are super comfortable by nike standards. saucony endorphin are also legit imo, but your feet will hurt regardless if you’re new to outdoor running lol
Would you categorise currex runpro as orthotics? I just got the evo SL, and after the first run had a panic because I felt a tiny tiny niggle in my knee. I had the Zoom Fly 5 and this caused havoc on my knees. Since I’ve always aimed for a shoe with a wide sole. Having said this though, I added the currex runpro a couple of years ago and I’m thinking that the added support in the arch will stop my knees caving inward. If anyone fancies weighing in it would be appreciated. The EVO SL felt so good, just besides the momentary knee fear.
I like the Nike Fly Zoom 5. Super cushiony and propellant effect. Makes me feel like a kid running around just for fun.
Yes I’m coming around to this but did wonder if anyone found any regular shoes to be plenty stable before going any further into true stability shoe territory. I have a set of Gel Nimbus 27 and Evo SL and they’re both too soft for me now, I’ve gone back to my old Nike Zoom Fly 5 which feel better but they’re pretty beat up.
I bought the zoom fly 5. I think that is the worst running shoe of all time and it put me off Nike
Once you have race used carbon plated shoes you can use those as trainers for harder sessions and have a fresher pair come race day. I like the Vapor Flys and thankfully they go on sale pretty often if you don’t care about how they look.
