Female runner. I usually run a 7:30 to 8:45 min/km. I run 5-8km on weekdays and 10-14km LSDs on weekends. I currently have the **Puma ForeverRun Nitro 1.** I like the reponsiveness of the shoe, but I get blisters beyond 6km runs plus it's been with me for a year now. I'm looking to get **Anta PG7 Float as a daily trainer** and the **Nike Vomero Plus for my LSD and daily trainer rotation**. I'm planning to keep my Puma for speed sessions since it's quite responsive before I fully max it out. I have a limited budget since I'm still in college. Adizero EVO SLs are not an option for me since I've read several reviews stating the shoe is quite unstable. Given that I supinate and run slower, I think the instability might cause a problem for me. Do you think the two shoes I'm planning to get will suffice for now? What other shoe recos can you suggest as a bang for buck trainer for everyday runs & long runs? 🥹
I have that shoes. Puma is too narrow. Sumasakit paa ko kapag more than 5k na
I have a cheap pair of Scott trail shoes I use for muddy runs which have nice lugs perfect for a muddy field. They're not cushioned, but the grass and mud provides the cushioning. And Parkrun is only 5k so you don't really need all the foam. For rainy/puddly runs I have a water resistant version of my favourite shoe, the Puma run forever nitro, designed for over pronators. The Puma grip is legendary and will cope with slick, icy/frosty pavements well.
I overpronate and I've been using the deviate 3 too. It feels quite stable and is so much fun. My regular shoe is also Puma: the run forever which is a stability shoe with a bit of pep. I have the first version which you can pick up for about £60 and many people say the originally is lighter and better than the version 2.
How much stability are we talking? If you want a stable neutral, there are some options like Superblast, but not for everyone and not the same level of fun as a Evo SL or Megablast. I consider the Megablast a stable neutral, but it’s soft enough that it might not be stable enough for some runners who need a bit more stability. Basically, more stable than the Evo SL, but less stable than the Superblast, which is a very stable neutral shoe. Saucony and Hoka are notorious for adding stability elements to neutral shoes. Something like the Saucony Ride or Hoka Mach 6 can be a good compromise. The upcoming Saucony Azure looks extremely interesting. If you need more stability than that, I suggest looking into the Puma ForeveRun Nitro. More stability elements, but fun and non-invasive enough that attracted neutral runners as well as the stability runners. For a pure race day shoe, a very stable neutral race shoe is the Rocket X 3.
puma forever nitro is GOATed. Got mine for like $60. Have over 250 miles on em and still going strong. Would buy another pair instantly if i ever found a price close to that. I got the NB 1080v13 actually reminds me of the puma to a degree. Just more soft and not as much support. They run real similar to me tho. Maybe just a little slower
A good shoe store will give you good advice. And stability shoes are not a trap if you actually need them. For me, they made all the difference. I love the new balance vongo V6 and the Puma foreverrun nitro.
How is the 2 treating you? Did you have the old one? I was thinking of getting a new pair. I have over 670km in the [original ](https://amzn.to/3JdFxaH)and they're still going very strong! I would definitely recommend them.
I got the puma foreverrun and i can say it is good. Used it in a 21k
