    I have both ... I like both ... I definitely use my Glizzy for long runs when I need to remind myself not to speed up. They can both DO everything but the Superblast cannot let me slow down. I lock in on that steady pace and can't seem to slow it down or speed it up (That's a compliment) but the Glizzy I can really shuffle nicely at 9 minute paces. My first run after SB2s I immediately went and bought a second pair. My first run in my Glizzy was 12 miles @ 9 minute pace and I had to stop because I had plans but it was so comfortable. So what I'm saying is probably not helpful. Both are great. Both paired with a racing shoe can make an entire shoe rotation. Great video!

    @Maloha486 13 днів тому

    These shoes have managed to check all the boxes for me! Enough cushion for longer runs, responsive enough for when you want to push the tempo, available in a wide fit where it’s wide at the forefoot but snug in the midfoot and heel, and the wide fit was available in not-so-boring colors. I had not worn Mizuno running shoes before but I could not be happier and might even get a second pair just in case. Previously, I wore the NB 1080v12 also in wide, but I found the mid foot and heel to be a little too roomy for my foot; a runner’s knot helped with that but then until I developed a gripe about the max cushion outsole’s lack of responsiveness. It has become a really good walking shoe for me though.

    Last month, I purchased the Mizuno Wave Sky 8, and just a few days ago, I received the New Balance 1080 V14. When I compare both shoes side by side, it is evident that the 1080 V14 has a higher stack than the Sky 8. The 1080 V14 offers more cushioning, softer foam, and better bounce compared to the Sky 8. I am puzzled by the official specifications from Mizuno stating a 41mm heel stack for the Sky 8, while the 1080 V14 is listed at 38mm.

    I wouldn't recommend these for walking dude. They're designed for jogging and running paces and could cause someone an injury by walking in them due to lack of support at walking pace. There are running shoes out there that are acceptable for walking but most tend to be a bit firmer and less stack.

I borrowed superblast 2 and glycerin max from my friends (same shoes size). superblast 2 is crazy good for like an "all around shoe" like if you're a casual runner, join races sometimes and only need 1 shoes, this is the best and i'm planning to buy this one also. definitely a super trainer. glycerin max could also be an all around shoe, it feels like super cushiony and great for recovery runs, i can feel a very little bit of it's weight but it's really good too and i think it's a solid shoes to use if you want to run after a hard day workout especially after gym leg days.
