Yes, Kayano/Nimbus for slow, easy runs, Novablasts for daily miles and some uptempo work and Magic Speed/Metaspeed for racing - makes perfect sense 👌

NB5 is softer, that’s true. If I had to choose - I’d go with version 4. The difference is not that big and you can definitely save some money 💰

Hi! I have medium width feet and for me they were on point. But I suppose if you have wider feet they could be too narrow unfortunately

@runners_box thanks, sadly most of the budget friendly short distance racers are kinda narrow.

That’s true 😞

Generally yes, especially for those distances. But if you weigh more than, let’s say, 85kg I’d look for something with more cushion :)

@ awesome 👏 I’m at 67kg . Thanks :)

Suing for a bad review seems like a great idea 😂 There are plenty of affordable options that are better than this one (a lot of Decathlon’s offerings, some from Under Armour, Reebok)

Hi! Yes, I felt quite secure on a wet road, I didn’t slip at all :)

@@runners_box Thank you very much, my friend. I formed an absolute opinion with this video.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one 😂

New Balance Rebel v4 or Adidas Adizero Sl2 would be my top picks apart from Mach 6. You can also check out ASICS Novablast 5, they weigh almost the same as Superblasts, but have lower stack and are pretty versatile. I’ll have a review of those next week here :)

Thanks! Whenever I'm on the track and I see rain puddles, I immediately know I need to run through it 😂

I saw in your review that you had the wide version - do you usually use wide shoes or just in this model? :)

@@runners_box When I can get the wide version, I try to get it. It's not always available, for example they don't sell the wide version Boston 12 anywhere in Canada.

I need to try changing the insole then!

And how did you like the ride? :)

@@runners_box The ride is great, smooth and buttery but still responsive. On the price I got 20% discount on my first pair, then 35% on my second pair where they gave me 20% plus a further 15% for submitting an honest review.

Wow, That’s good to know they do something like this, maybe i’ll use it to test some other model 🙌 Thanks for sharing 🙌

Actually I think if you ran 15k in them in one go and felt ok - I wouldn’t change it ;) of course you could try something different, softer, but if you have no issues in Revolutions then maybe you don’t need, well, a revolution :)

Totally agree 🫡 too bad the Evo SL are not widely available, because I think they could have even better price/performance ratio. But adidas is killing it this year, not gonna lie

Nie wykorzystasz, zdecydowanie lepiej będzie spojrzeć na Hoki Mach 6, NB Rebel v4 czy Asicsy Novablast. Nadadzą się i na trening, i na zawody w takim tempie do 5:00 powiedzmy (choć mi się w nich i szybciej zdarzyło latać :))

Maybe take a look at Adidas Adizero SL2?

Yes, they’re fine for everyday life. I use it this way sometimes. But one thing to have in mind is that the upper is quite warm, so if you live somewhere with warm weather they could make your feet feel hot.

It depends on a person, I’d recommend you to visit a physio to discuss this.

Thanks for the comment and the correction 🫡 I’m EU based and while I always try to check all the pricing sometimes some mistakes can occur 😅 I think they’ll be great for long runs. My friend is using the pair I had for review now and he did a few long runs in them and was really happy with how it went.

I just run the Berlin marathon in them and they were great 👌of course Vaporflys would feel „faster”, but it also depends on what time are you aiming for. If you’re going for 1:40 and slower I think Superblasts would be great. The faster you are the better the Vaporflys will be :)

⁠​⁠@@runners_boxThanks man! I will follow your advice and stick with the Superblast 2’s! My plan is 1:49:00 but maybe I can get it to 1:47:00 tomorrow! :)

Have fun out there!🔥

That’s a really good price 👌 great that they work for you 💪

Yeah, for everyday use they’re fine - after the review I don’t use them for running, but mostly as a “lifestyle” shoe 👌

I meant tried and tested by me 😂

Yes, especially if you’re comparing older models to the new ones. I usually look not at the size, but at the insole length (most companies usually put this info in the sizing chart). The difference shouldn’t be big, but it can be there unfortunately:(

Yes, B12 is better in everything, especially long runs. That’s why it’s also more expensive;) I’d say SL2 is a budget choice. If you’re able to buy Bostons I’d always choose them over SL2. SL2 are great shoes considering the price, but if you take the price out of the equation - they’re alright, but there’s a lot of better options ;)

I found this shoe exactly like you. Good for anything but long runs. Not stable enough for trails. Long run problem is for me, under big toe there is only firmer foam. While all the rest there is soft foam. But it is good training for big toe.

That’s interesting! I’ve run in Bostons, AP2 and Takumi Sens and in every case I couldn’t complain on the rubber’s durability. While in Sl2 after ~100k I already see some wear and tear. But that’s possible that it’s because of the tread - in all of those different shoes I’ve mentioned it’s usually pretty flat. Thanks for your comment! 🙌

It’s a part of my natural running style, but to be fair - these shoes (as most of the “racing” shoes) are not stable. If you have issues with overpronation just like as I do you could have some issues running in Takumi Sens. For me it wasn’t a problem, i didn’t feel any discomfort and stuff like that, but I imagine for some people it could be totally different.

Hi! In my case usually I have no problems with using neutral shoes, but in some cases I feel some discomfort on longer distances (like here in the Endorphin Speed 4). But for example in Superblast 2 I have no issues even around 30k long runs. I have tested a few stability shoes this year, but none felt “fun” unfortunately. Next month there should be Saucony Tempus 2 - tempo trainer for overpronators so i’ll definitely check them out. You asked for recommendations - what kind of shoe are you looking for? Daily trainer or more of a tempo shoe? :)

@@runners_box Right now I have a two year old Nike flyknit that I got when I didn't have much knowledge in shoes but I see that it's a bit bouncy, narrow, and more of a heel striker friendly shoe. Knowing that you're fine in a superblast for such long runs is reassuring since stability shoes don't really look "fun" to me as well (though I've never tried them on). I'm looking for a low drop (0-6mm) daily jogger. I did order the Clifton 9 online to see if my feet will fit it and awaiting arrival. In Seoul, the New Balance Rebel V4 will re-release next week and wondering if that's a good add on to rotate in my runs for a tempo geared shoe. My other two options for daily joggers were the New Balance 1080 and 860 but wasn't exactly inspired by the designs or available color options in my country. The Tempus 2 seems intriguing. I'll keep an eye out for that.

@@runners_boxhow about Saucony Hurricane 24?

Saucony Hurricane 24 would be great as a cushioned daily trainer with some stability 👌 they look fantastic and I’m probably going to get them in the following months 🙌

Thanks! I think cumulus is a far superior shoe to the Pegs, and if you like the softness of Cumulus the switch to the Pegasus would be not so great ;)

Now that I checked that again I’m a bit confused, because different adidas websites provide contradicting info 😂 but almost everywhere there is a note that Takumi Sen 10 have glssfiber rods, but Takumi Sen 10 Y-3 have info about carbon 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the comment, I’ll definitely do more research on that 🫡

@@runners_box This true, a little bit difficult to really know:)
