No experience with Evo Sl. Have 3 pairs of Feidan 5's love them that much. Very versatile and poppy. The only other shoe I stocked up on like this was the OG Nike Invincible for my easy/long/recovery runs FWIW.

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.

The OG Invincible. It was so ugly, I almost felt too embarassed to go out of the house. They looked as though they'd been designed by a bunch of five-year olds. But as soon as I did, it changed everything for me. I basically did 95% of all my runs for the first two marathon blocks - including the races. They made me want to go out and run.

That's one of my favorites though I liked it from the very start (though v2)

I’ve found all the Nike line to be too unstable for me. Even the Invincibles require a lot of focus not to roll my ankle. I’ve tried a lot of brands and I’ve enjoyed Sauconys, Brooks, New Balance etc, but my current rotation is pretty much all ASICs or Adidas.

Biggest surprise of last year for me. Only Nikes I ever put stock in for years were racing shoes. The invincibles and Pegasus lines and any other daily trainers felt like trash. The Vomero 18’s and especially plus’ really surprised me. I’m on my 5th pair already haha
