Hurricane 24

Ugh too many. Lol. Mainly roads here. Saucony Hurricane 24s for easy runs. Cushiony and supportive. Saucony Endorphin Speed 4s and Adidas Boston 12s for tempo and intervals. The ES4s have 220+ miles on them and are becoming less snappy so I started rotating the B12s in a few weeks ago. Adidas Adios Pro 4 for racing.

Recently bought a Saucony Triumph 22. It's soft, cushioned and still have some spring on it as it has the improved PWRRUN PB foam so you might be familiar with it considering you have the Ride 17. Apart from that you also have the Saucony Hurricane 24 if you want some stability. Reviews lean more positively on the Hurricane but do try it in a store first as the Hurricane is heavier and can be clunky. Both are also on sale too at runnr's and Toby's for the same price. You can also try an Asics Gel Nimbus 26 if it's on sale. It's heavier than the Triumph though in exchange for a bit more and cushion. All shoes should fit nicely with your current pace, just a matter of foot mechanics as the Triumph and Nimbus suits heel strikers better and the Hurricane for midfoot strikers.

Check out the Saucony Hurricane 24, I am 6'1", 220 and they are treating me well. Tons of cushion, but still feel good and responsive. They were my first real running shoe so I can't really compare them to anything else. There is a 25 out now, but haven't tried them yet. Ultimately the best bet is to check out a running store and try some on. What work for my feet may not work for yours.

Everybody's feet are different, so that's a tough answer. I have collapsed arches and over-pronate, fairly severely with my left foot, and have had varying success with wildly different shoes. The key for me is a stable heel matched to a non-intrusive arch. I had to trial and error quite a bit with different shoes. I like running in the Saucony Hurricane 24 because it has a lot of good cushion, a lot of different stability elements going on, without having a traditional medial post. There's enough cushion that I feel protected, matched with enough guidance that I'm not moving/wobbling excessively anywhere. The New Balance 860v14 is similar for me, though it's less exciting and the arch-support is slightly more intrusive. I tried the Saucony Hurricane 25 on in store and they seem lighter and a touch more sporty feeling. The Saucony Triumph 20 oddly enough works great for me as well because the lockdown is flawless for me in addition to a stable feeling heel. I think a good, stable heel keeps my inner-ankle from rotating inward and is just enough that I'm not beating up my foot/arch. These next two are really oddballs for me and it took me years to even consider giving them a shot.  On a whim I tried a Saucony Kinvara 15 and Altra Escalante 4 recently and love them both.  I always figured this type of shoe would never ever work for me, but they do.  The light, low, firm setup is inherently stable and the ground-feel allows me to really focus on my form: not slamming my feet or heels down, running quietly is what I tell myself.  I think many shoes just have too much height and squish that allows too much movement for me and lower stack, firmer shoes leave less room for error.  The Kinvara feels both light and minimal but just protective enough at the same time. They also have minimal arch-humps so I never feel uncomfortable pressure there. I keep runs in these shoes less than 5 miles since they're on the more minimal side. Here are some that did not work for me: Saucony Guide 16: horrible, painful stiff medial post, slappy shoe New Balance 860v12: too firm, invasive arch New Balance 1080v12: insane instability Adidas Adizero SL2: I occasionally use these but they are very soft with minimal structure Topo Fly-lite 5: rock-hard, invasive arch support, wildly uncomfortable Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19: like running in a wooden clog 

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on my next daily trainer/long-run shoe. I’ve been running casually for about 1.5 years and am training for my first Half Marathon in June. **The Runner Profile:** * **Height/Weight:** 1.90m / 105kg (approx. 230 lbs). * **Foot stats:** Length 29cm | Width 10cm (slightly wide volume). * **Pace:** \~5:30/km (8:50/mile). * **Mid/forefoot striker**. **My Shoe History & Issues:** 1. **Asics Novablast 4 (Size 48 EU / 30.5 cm):** * *The Good:* Great cushion and energy return. No joint pain. * *The Bad:* **Overheating.** My feet felt way too warm, even in winter. I returned them solely because of the heat issue. 2. **Saucony Hurricane 24 (Size 47 EU / 30.5 cm):** * *The Good:* Loved the plush, bouncy feeling. * *The Bad:* **Blisters.** On runs longer than 7-10km, I consistently get blisters on the side of my right foot's 1st metatarsal (ball of the foot). I suspect the arch support isn't aligning correctly because the size (30.5cm) might be too long for my 29cm foot. * *Current State:* After 14 months, they are dead (burning sensation in soles), so I need a replacement ASAP. **What I'm Looking For:** A shoe that can handle my weight (105kg) for long distances without bottoming out, isn't an oven (breathable), and accommodates a slightly wide foot without causing blisters on the arch/metatarsal. **The Contenders (and my sizing doubts):** * **New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6:** Considering size **30 cm (US 12) in 2E Wide**. Is the breathable enough? I'm worried about the heat compared to the Novablast. * **Brooks Glycerin Max:** Considering size **30.5 or 31**. I've heard good things, but I'm worried about the width since it's hard to find 2E versions here. * **Asics Superblast 2:** Considering size **30.5**. I loved the Novablast ride, but is this one cooler/more breathable? Is it stable enough for a 105kg runner? * **Saucony Hurricane 24 (Again?):** Should I try these again but size down to **30 cm (US 12)** to fix the arch alignment/blister issue? Any advice on which of these (or others) would be the safest bet? Thanks!

I have the same issue you do; from my experience, the Magmax always manages to keep me slow. It gets in the way of anything that requires speed. You could have a different experience, but out of the list you have provided, and I've tried them all aside from the Vomero Plus, the Magmax feels pleasant but cumbersome, so I keep it slow with them. Other shoes that play that role well are the Hurricane 24 or 25 and the Neo Vista 2. They have the same vibe as the Magamax; those are the models I reach for when I don't have the discipline to stay slow, so I require a shoe to do it for me.

Seconding this. They’re my pick when I need to make things easier on my feet. I wear Guides when I need to be a little faster. They’re still cushioned, just not as much. Switching to these two shoes made running on an arthritic knee feasible in the long term, while I work on body recomposition.
