    GOAT tweener has to be Noosa Tri 14! also got mine after watching your review of that shoe last year. Effortless running, don't have to focus on how you are striking or your form etc. Perfect grab and go shoe! I even went so far last year and did a 3:18 marathon in them.

    My tweener shoe has been the Saucony Speed 3s. They've withstood my long runs (22+ miles), speed workouts, and everything in between. And they're still holding up after logging well over 500 miles on them.

      My favorite shoe as well….Absolutely love it…However, I’m a little concerned with the durability….the outside rubber on both heels are showing lots of wear after about 90 miles….Which is a little disappointing considering the rest of the shoe looks and feels like it could go for 500.

    QD: Tweener shoe for me is the Noosa Tri 14. Bought on your recommendation and mainly use for daily, tempo and also intervals. Tbh I even often use them for easy days. I find it hard to grab a different shoe these days unless it's wet out.

    My favorite "tweener" shoe of the last six months is the Asics Novablast 3. It does a good job from easy to hard and short to long runs. I just retired them after 400 miles and plan to pick up another pair when they go on sale later this year.

    QD: #1 tweener shoe for me would be the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. That shoe is good at everything. Speed, daily, easy, race… you can pretty much do it all in that shoe.

    Seth, I know you are awesome and that I can trust you when I buy a pair of shoes on my own just to try them and I categorize those shoes in my head after 5 or so runs. Then your Matrix comes out and you put that same shoe in the exact same spot that I put it. I love your Shoe Matrix. It has really helped me get back into running after decades away from the sport. You are much appreciated!

    QD: The Altra Escalante 3 has impressed me a lot over the last few months! It's a tweener to me because I didn't expect to get daily miles and great tempo/track miles out of it. Small, light, and fast if your feet/ankles are up to it!

    QD: Mach 5! Easy, Daily, Tempo, Long and you can even race a marathon if you don't want a plate. Love having such a snappy, yet smooth ride with no plate. Also has an epic lockdown. That and Speed 3 are the two road shoes I use by far the most.

  • @tabe5686

    I might pull the trigger on triumph 20's even though they're 160. Your reviews of the 18 and 19 were good. Too expensive at 150 and too heavy. The 20 increased the stack heigh but got lighter. I liked my 18's I got on sale. No use waiting for a sale on the heavier 19's, but I might go for the cheaper novablast 3's instead. Maybe even the speed 2's which I don't like, but they're fast, versatile, and last so long.

    Tweener show was just my daily/long run/longer race shoe was the Hoka Mach 5. Race was a 25 mile trail run on a route that didn’t need a dedicated trail shoe. I put over 500 miles in them through 22/23

    I don't get all the qualifiers for the Kinvara. It has 27mm of stack - something that would have been considered max cushion two years ago. I ran 2 marathons in the Kinvara 9, which has 19mm of forefoot stack!

  • @davidehrensperger9769
    @davidehrensperger9769 Рік тому +1

    QD: I am currently using the Kinvara 13 as a tweener, and it's relatively new to my current rotation. I loved previous Kinvara iterations (really light, fit right out of the box, etc.), but they only tended to last about 200 miles per pair. I made other shoe selections for this reason, but I am hoping for better durability results this time around.

  • @chaseegozcue7637
    @chaseegozcue7637 Рік тому +1

    QD.... surprisingly, after all the less than rave reviews and lack of fanfare, I very much enjoy the Nike Zoom Fly 5 as a bit of a tweener/do it all shoe. Its just one I find myself picking up more than I expected for those daily to tempo runs. I also have the SC Trainer and find it better suited for my easy to "steezy" pace runs. I def agree with you about the More V4 being may fav easy/recovery day shoe. Cheers!

    How many saucony in this list! I can understand, i love them. I am using Triumph 20 for easy days and longer distances and endorphin speed 2 when i want to be faster and for the race. Incredibile combination. I'm looking for another pair of Speed 2 but it's not easy to find. Hope that Speed 3 could be a good option to replace them.

    I use to run in Hoka Carbons X2 and Rockets. But switched to the Noosa Tri 14s after your review. Love them for longer distances, 60k race coming up. Love them.
    For faster stuff - Not such a fan.
    But hoping they’ll help me move to the Magic speeds for half marathon races (70.3).
    If you could explain the difference between magic speed edge and sky, I would be so happy! Thanks. Love the content.

    All my shoes are tweeners still, because I've yet to really find what I need and what I like in a shoe, and it seems to change too. I usually do prefer a lighter shoe with low stack height, even if my feet are hurting after a long run. But that leads me to often use my tempo shoes on my daily runs and long runs too.

    I have found my body and mechanics just don't get along with Fresh foam. I use the Gylcerin 20's for daily and long runs (tweener for me). Since I am a co-op member at REI, was able to return my More V4's that I was just sinking through and picked up the Hyperion Max for Tempo work. I love the idea of the pillow midsole, but apparently in reality do not get along with it.

    Any tips on a shoe for wide feet? I haven't run for two years due to illness, but back then I was loving NB 1080 V11 in a wide fit for daily, easy and tempo. I only switched for intervals and races. I like a firm feel in contact with the ground, rather than soft. Apparently NB have ruined the 1080 by making it super soft now, so I'm stuck.

    Asics Magic speed 2 - Is my option , firm yes, not rigid, im 64 kg but the shoe is ligheweight. 4:13 min/km on my last 21K , I feel the way of run changes with a shoe or other. Adidas boston 11, has a kind of plate, but the midsole material is extremely hard for my weight , is a heavy shoe and extra rigid.

  • @colemabie5288
    @colemabie5288 Рік тому

    QD: Have been using the Kinvaras (12 & now 13) as tweeners for almost 2 years now. I use them for everything but easy days, including for racing. I keep one pair to only use for racing/fast paced runs to keep the mileage down and use another pair for long runs and daily training. Really hard to beat the value for the price, especially when you can get the previous year's model heavily discounted. This year I might finally shell out some $$ for some better racing shoes for the Detroit Marathon!
