- I asked my Strava community for the best cheap running shoes, looking for some help in putting this video together. We had loads of comments (thank you!) so I decided to get these three most frequently suggested shoes all in and test to see if they were actually any good. Thank you to everyone who commented!

My favorite part of these reviews is how you always manage to find some dreadful puddle to go and have an absolute STOMP through. It is genuinely hilarious and satisfying.
It’s not that hard to find some big puddles at the moment 😂
I love the fact you concentrate on how comfortable the trainers are and their intended use for running. Great to see other brands get mentioned in the video, seems many are tied to Adidas and Nike. However, I'm a massive Hoka and Asics user purely for comfort/walking long distances.
Really happy to see this sort of video, highlighting really good, more affordable trainers. So many shoe/run-tubers pushing more and more expensive trainers it's so refreshing to see someone cover three solid pairs of trainers that are all comfortably under £100. Nice work.
Mr.Ben Parkes you are a good motivator when it comes to running.Keep safe always all the best for you and Ms.Sarah!God bless always!❤❤❤
Ben just wanted you to know I used with your half marathon intermediate guide for my second half marathon this year. The last one was 2:07:30. Today I ran 1:56:40! Thank you so much. My next race is in Las Vegas in February I will shot for 1:45:00.
Did you make it
Love the velocity nitro 2! Ran my first marathon in them this year.
I've ran about 300k in the Puma VN2 and it is great shoe. Although I must agree with you Ben, the stability can be an issue. My right heel twists to the outside during my runs, despite that I run on my forefoot and do not pronate. It feels almost like the heel isnt connected to the rest of the shoe.
Overall comfort is very good, and the grip is supreme!
I like the Puma VN2 a lot, it's an amazing value for money ( I have 2 pairs :D). And I confirm that the only downside is that is quite hot in warm weather. Being in Portugal, during summertime you can't run in these.
I'm a massive fan of both iterations of the Puma Velocity Nitro and got both for around the £50 mark. In the recent atrocious weather my beaten up version 1s have been my go to shoe (well over 600 miles and still going strong). Never had any issues with stability or over heating. Have used both for the occasional session - especially those on wet grass or wet roads and I didn't want to take out something with inferior grip. Would recommend to anybody (except those requiring Stability options).
yep I use them as day to day shoes and occasional running. thinking of getting the new ones ( or maybe the asics gel ?)
My favourite in this price range is the NB Rebel v3.
The Reebok Floatride 5 is a fantastic shoe. It's just a really good workhorse of a shoe that can easily do 800k. I tried the Velocity, but that just doesn't work for my feet. I do my long runs (unpaved) on these and they are just amazing.
MSE has a 25% discount code valid till monday 18/12 for Puma gear, tonight managed to get my size in the VN2 for £78 ..... Couldnt get Bens price anywhere in size 11 but still happy, another smashing video Ben
👍👍
I ran about 100 miles in Velocity 2 and its still a little too stiff for my liking but its built like a tank. I am considering to buy another pair just to have it. Outsole barely has any sign of wear. For 60-70$ its really good shoe. It does not feel like 10mm drop, more like 6-8mm
Hoka ATR6 @£65 these are great from treadmill to trail, my first pair are still going strong with over 700miles on them, I've done everything from a fast 5k treadmill to a 50k trail run, plus they are also my go to driving shoe. If its serious bogs and mud, they are out of there depth, but looking at your reviews I don't think many subscribers venture too far from the tarmac and trails. Great content Ben!
I own the Puma VN2s and Nike Pegasus 40. Dont the Reebok Floatride 5 but have the 4. The 4s are okay for shorter distances but could do with more midsole.
The Pegs are hit and miss, sometimes feeling like massive clown shoes. Can also feel the air uints. Their saving grace is that they dont seem to get wet in the rain.
Best by far is the VN2s but could do with more stability after about half marathon distance.
I bought the Puma Velocity Nitro 2 for Winter Runs and love them!!!👍
Bought a pair of Scott Speed Carbon RC running shoes for £45 recently, which included the postage! They supposedly retail for £180. Will take them out tomorrow for the first time. Intrigued to know how they'll perform.
So great that the puma is in first place. Totally agree, absolutely great deal at Start Fitness, might have to get a second pair!
I agree with everything about the Puma’s! I bought them bc they were on sale and didn’t put much effort into the purchase but they turned out to be a hit. The only minuses for me: they are slightly too narrow, and the bottoms tend to pick up a lot of soggy debree like crushed leaves, etc.
In the US, honestly it’s probably the ride 15 or triumph 20
I took a punt on the Pumas a few months back. I was really disappointed with it in terms of feel. It feels sluggish, bulky and in the orange far too hot even in winter. Super comfy and fine for recovery runs but I never find myself reaching for it. For the money however, it's well worth it.
I practically live in the velocity nitro gtx at the moment. Dry feet + fantastic grip!
Thanks for a great review Ben✅As a result, I’ve bought a pair of Puma Velocity Nitros, big leap of faith as I’ve been using Mizuno since 2019😊
For any Asics fans out there, the Evoride Speed is extremely good value for the money. It has enough cushion for longer runs but is also light enough with some pop to do your faster runs in them. I would argue anything from 5k to the marathon.
I really like the Adidas SL20.2s. You can get them for under £60 and they're pretty lightweight and breathable for the price. I really get on with the firmness of the lightstrike foam, but some people might find it too harsh. Fantastic grip and durability too, I've run 900k in my current pair and they feel just the same. Just make sure to get them 1/2 or 1 size up. Haven't tried the SL20.3s yet, but they're even cheaper (almost off-puttingly cheap for the current model)
On my second pair of velocity nitro 2. Did almost 1100 kms in my first pair! Amazing value!
Adidas Adizero SL. Great daily trainer you can do fast workouts and long or recovery easy runs too. They are usually on sale. I bought my first one for $68 and the second pair in a better colorway for about $80.
I have the puma velocity nitro 2.., great shoe. nailed it on that one
I run in Mizuno Inspire 19's. About £70 if you shop around for offers on them. Good support for flat footers like me.
thank you 🙏🏿
Endorphin Shift 3! Incredible value right now for a great daily trainer, good at normal price but now can be had for half off
And what about a shoe that is just comfortable? I’ve ran 500kms with the ASICS Nimbus 25 and I found them too “hard” for easy runs. I have the Novablast 3, also very recommend, but today, after 19kms, I had a bit of knee pain and the front of my feet. I don’t remember ever had it.
What do you recommend that’s just comfortable, don’t care for something that’s also faster?
I got Brooks Glycerine for £49 @ Start Fitness originally £140! Bargain daily winter comfort.
Please suggest shoes for plantar fasciitis
I agree with the puma velocity nitro 2 being an absolute banger. 800 miles plus per pair, comfortable, grippy, great daily trainer. Not for faster runs but still great.
Good for long or easy runs?
Yes, they’re very versatile. I wouldn’t use them for tempo or speed sessions but everyday runs, long runs and easy runs are all absolutely fine. 😁
@@jamesthomas2196i actually use them for base runs and broken tempo runs (tempo runs with intervals). On longer unbroken tempo i prefer deviate nitro
is it similar to the nike pegasus 38 ? because I need new trainers and I'm thinking about the puma's is it worth it ?
@@staneviciiute definitely worth a try. Can’t really go far wrong with Puma. Prices on start fitness are great
I managed to get the nike invincible 2s at the wembley nike outlet for £60 a while ago 💪
Hi Ben, what is your experience with novablast 3 and superblast sizing? Are the sizing the same or any difference? Thank you great content!!! 👍
I sized down half a size in superblast vs nova blast.
Any recommendation for wide foot?
i cant wait for the Valencia Marathon review,
I just got the Deviate Nitro 2 for $96 so now I’ll go see how cheap the Velocity 2 is going for!
Have you tried any Scott shoes I have the pursuit for under £40
took your advice amigo and got the pumas - they're great
I've just ran in them - wow - ran further without noticing - loved them, They felt like I'm floating a little. I have watched your other videos and I've took a shine to the vaporflys. My running experience is boxing and karate training in the 70s with trails for the British Karate team for 82 Olympics (I was a bad boy). Did the first 1983 and then 84 Derby Ramathons (full), then 20 years of successful international powerlifting. Threw in some 10k's around 2010 and still powerlift with now an over 60s world deadlift record. My previous experience with running shoes was the Spondon specialists in Derby, but these modern shoes are way better. My son's have taken an interest too as they also run and lift. Thanks mate, you've got a fan - gonna swing by your site and look back through your UA-cam vids.
Love the Puma, but as you say it's very unstable... Hopefully V3 is better 🤞🏽
Cool idea and great video! 💪
Thank you Ben
At this price range you get saucony shift 3. Asics nimbus 25. And hoka Clifton 8. Your welcome.
nice review can i run 10k on puma velocity 2 comfortably.
The weather-proofed version of the Velocity Nitro 2 makes a brilliant UK winter trainer
Saucony ride 15 $26 triumph 20 $62 my latest purchases.
God damn the prices skyrocketed
The Velocity Nitro 2 unfortunately did not work for me. I believe that it has a major flaw in the design of the shoes, which hopefully will be fixed with the Velocity 3 : the dual middlesole compound was very tim in the end of the arches (closer to the toes) where the bigger stack of middlesole on that area was the.Nitro foam ( super soft ) ,while the EvA was extremely tim and ended twisting over time. Totally deformed the middlesole to amke the shoes unusable after ~90 km ran for me. These shoes are very fragile, and you got to run with them on a perfect road, and still, you can't overpronate, or you will end up breaking the shoes o .that weak spot.
This Puma reminded me about the fragile spot back in the days in the iPhone 6 line where they had a weak spot by the volume button where we could accidentally bend the phone...
It works really well for a lot of people. A shame it didn't for you. They love it at The Run Testers channel.
@Jon-hb6gx and the Puma Velocity Nitro 2 in the blue/ details in purple was super cool looking. Too bad it did not work for me
But zi have faith that the Velocity Nitro 3 will work well , for me, since it will have a bit higher stack of one single piece of Nitro foam
This time around, it will not bend or twist ...
Ben, Do under armour make any good ruuning shoes ?
Loved this video! I wonder if Decathlon has any new good models?
Hi Ben, have you ever tried barefoot shoes for running? I just switched to them and got a pair of the Hykes Pinnacle. To be honest, these shoes give me the sensation of running barefoot.
Thanks for sharing.
bro just be careful about barefoot thing my friends push themselves to running barefoot then they get injured.
Saucony Triumph 20
Thanks for the review, i might have to get a pair of those puma's.
Love my Reebok's
The best deal, is whatever the last version of any number of Saucony shoes. The Kinvara 13, for example, can easily be found for US $50
All this shoe are cheaper price at UK but in my country its expensive..my god.
Ben please try the Puma diviate Nitro Elite 2 please can pick up for £115 best priced super shoe.
Oh yeah I love these, very comfortable as well as being fast and having great grip. I ran in them for my first and only marathon to date with a better-than-expected result and got me a HM pb this morning!
Although they're the only proper carbon super shoe I've run in so I have little frame of reference (unless Takumi Sen 9s count with their energy rods? - They're pretty reasonably priced too for how rapid they are over 5-10k).
Are they true to size? At that price I might ask Santa for a pair.
@@davidpage8147 think so I’m in between sizes I m either a 10 or 10.5
10.5 I went for.
Start fitness have them for £115 in one colour way
@@davidpage8147 For me they were at size 10, yeah. Perfect length wise. Plenty of room width wise, but my feet are quite narrow.
Just make sure Santa knows the precise name of these shoes! Puma have so many similarly named ones that he could easily get confused
Mizuno Wave riders are legit
You test so fast
probably cheating but i nabbed a pair of alphafly v1 for £52 in kings cross last week
Decathlon kalenji shoes are way more cheaper
New balance rebel V3 for £75 blow the Pegasus out of the water
83 pounds is cheap???? cheap means under 40 USD
Those Pumas look awful to me. They look like some working shoes for heavy industry.
All these 3 are not exactly cheap
2nd one is
Neither is a knee or hip replacement
Reeboks are lol
They are considering the price of proper running shoes, even mine are on the lower end of budget and they cost me £145
Then earn more…
All the 3 shoes in video are dreadful
