Thank you for reviewing budget shoes. Not everyone needs expensive shoes to run in. Sure, you can run a little faster in a vaporfly or Boston 12 but 99.9% of us won’t win any prizes even if we run 5-10% faster.
Like the budget shoe review angle. It's how I found your channel actually. Used the duramo before. I'm a also a big Adidas adizero fan and managed to get a little quiver together without breaking the bank over the last year with eBay and vinted. I get on well with them. People often sell shoes on because they just don't like the feel.
Yes Aidan, after doing this experiment I think the way to find value is what you have done, get good shoes at discount. These are fine, but they are what they are….
You are probably right Daz. I like that atm it’s all down to me, not the shoes. Although, I’ve had my eye on some reduced Adios Pro’s but haven’t grabbed them yet…..

Hi, these are great for that. I’ve ran half marathons in these and further and have never had any knee issues. Really comfortable and easy to run in 👍🏻
Hello, thanks for watching! I love the Duramo’s and have done that length and longer runs in them at easy pace. The SL have a higher stack too so they would likely be good also. I don’t think either are a bad choice……
All good options, especially for a lower price bracket. The Supernova is the more expensive shoe RRP but I have never ran in it so can’t comment. The Run Swift and Duramo are very similar. Maybe try them on if possible and see which is your preference. I love the Duramo but others may not….👍🏻
Hey man do you know the difference to the Duramo SL 2.0? I live in Germany and the Duramo 10 is a bit hard to find (colorways I dont like or a little bit overpriced) but the SL 2.0 is available at a good price with the colorways I would want.
Hey, difference wise there isn’t much. The Duramo range has a few shoes in it all quite similar (Speed, SL, Duramo). I’m my opinion, the speed is the one aimed at going slightly quicker, the Duramo is the daily and the SL has a higher stack so a better longer run shoe. All can do all things to an extent, so grab the SL if it’s easier to get and cheaper 👍🏻
Yes, mostly. It doesn’t absorb water as it’s a plastic based upper, but some does get through as it’s breathable. Is the only shoe I’ve owned where you see water spraying from the toes as you run…..
Hi I'm stuck deciding whether to get duramo: 10, SL Speed, adistar 2.0, or the supernova 2.0. They are all good in terms of price, but the problem is I can't decide what's the best for me. Any opinion is appreciated!! Could you break down the specifics to help me pick one? I'm just looking for a shoe that is very durable and has the right amount of cushion and support, by the way, I'm just new to this running stuff so gladly need some help understanding things, thanks!
Hi Mark, they are all very different shoes. It depends what you are wanting from them. Are you getting just one as your all round trainer? If so maybe the SL is the best option. The Adistar is better for longer distances/more cushion. The Supernova and Duramo are great budget options. If you can, I would try them on in store as everyone has different preferences….
@@LARKRunningUK im just starting out so im looking for a all-around budget shoe that does a bit of everything as my 1st pair. A daily trainer that i can also bring in 5k or 10k runs, also if you know some better shoes for other brands that are in the same price range, then let me know! Thanks
@markjoshuatolentino24 they’re all okay for what you need and within your budget. If you can, try them on as you may prefer one over the others. Consider the Reebok Floatride Energy as a low price daily trainer too…..
I’ve got a few shoes at the moment I’m testing and I’ve got another lined up later in the year. I might look at getting these in my next rotation however I have concerns over the durability with no outsole rubber. Thanks for watching….
That’s a difficult combination; cheap, lightweight and durable is hard to find. Maybe an older version of NB Fresh Foam series, Saucony Ride/Guide or an ASICS with outsole rubber (gel contend etc)
They are likely to be quite similar but there are some differences. Cloud Foam in Run Falcon vs Light Motion in Duramo. Fabric upper in RF vs recycled materials in Duramo. I love the Duramo and it’s slightly cheaper but both are solid budget shoes….
Hi Karen, it’s a good shoe for any type of running. There’s nothing particularly spectacular about it but I really like it. The best thing I can say about it is that it’s easy to run in and can do it all…..
Thank you for reviewing budget shoes. Not everyone needs expensive shoes to run in. Sure, you can run a little faster in a vaporfly or Boston 12 but 99.9% of us won’t win any prizes even if we run 5-10% faster.
My thoughts exactly! People only seem to review top end shoes that people don’t always need…..
Thank you reviewing this for us because all the vid I've seen r expensive shoes that i can not afford at all. 😊
No problem, that’s why I did this series 😀 glad you found it useful…..

Good to see someone reviewing budget shoe, please also review duramo rc someday
No problem Vishal. I agree, everyone seems to just review the really expensive ones! I’ll likely pick up more Duramo’s next year…..
Massive kudos to you running in budget shoes you would find it much easier in some better shoes
You are probably right Daz. I like that atm it’s all down to me, not the shoes. Although, I’ve had my eye on some reduced Adios Pro’s but haven’t grabbed them yet…..
Should review a pair of mid priced Decathlon running shoes too
Yes I’ve been looking at their Kalenji range and might grab a pair or 2 for testing…..

Love the value shoe videos. Adidas have massively expanded their Duramo range this year - any plans to try out the new ones?
Hi David, glad you have enjoyed them. More than likely yes, I love the Duramo so will probably grab some others when I need to retire these 3….
Nice vid, can you try the adidas duramo speed? I think its the newest duramo and it costs around 60$
I have seen them. I might look at getting them next time I purchase a rotation……thanks for watching!
A subscriber from Philippines here. 🎉 Hello. What do you think is the better pair for a 12-15 km easy runs? Duramo 10 or Duramo SL? Thanks in advance.
Hello, thanks for watching! I love the Duramo’s and have done that length and longer runs in them at easy pace. The SL have a higher stack too so they would likely be good also. I don’t think either are a bad choice……
Love from India
Thank you Vinod! Thanks for watching….
Whice one is better for 5-12km run and daily walk Adidas duramo 10/nike run swift 3/ adidas supernova+ they are all for the same price
All good options, especially for a lower price bracket. The Supernova is the more expensive shoe RRP but I have never ran in it so can’t comment. The Run Swift and Duramo are very similar. Maybe try them on if possible and see which is your preference. I love the Duramo but others may not….👍🏻

Is it water repellent, during drizzly weather conditions? Thanks
Yes, mostly. It doesn’t absorb water as it’s a plastic based upper, but some does get through as it’s breathable. Is the only shoe I’ve owned where you see water spraying from the toes as you run…..

Does your feet get wet when running on wet surfaces [not puddle pool of water] ?
Hi Tony, sometimes. The plastic recycled materials of the upper don’t absorb water so any splash/heavy rain end up in your socks. Minor negative……
Make a review on Asics versablast 2
I’ve got a few shoes at the moment I’m testing and I’ve got another lined up later in the year. I might look at getting these in my next rotation however I have concerns over the durability with no outsole rubber. Thanks for watching….
@@LARKRunningUK i just bought it for like $45, it's lightweight+ comfortable but it doesn't have rubber outsole.
@@LARKRunningUK can you recommend me any shoes under $50 which is lightweight+ durable?
I’m not sure they’re available in the UK as I can’t seem to find them…..
That’s a difficult combination; cheap, lightweight and durable is hard to find. Maybe an older version of NB Fresh Foam series, Saucony Ride/Guide or an ASICS with outsole rubber (gel contend etc)
any thoughts on runfalcon 3? is it better than duramo 10?
They are likely to be quite similar but there are some differences. Cloud Foam in Run Falcon vs Light Motion in Duramo. Fabric upper in RF vs recycled materials in Duramo. I love the Duramo and it’s slightly cheaper but both are solid budget shoes….
Is it good for hill running?
