      That's all fine... But when 2 of the shoes you didn't like were shoes you didn't give actual tries and you said otherwise liked... Then you are just judging the books by their cover without any actual evidence. So it's a poor review. But it's just your 2 cents so you're entitled to it 👍 but just don't call it a "review" when you haven't actually put in the miles on the shoes you haven't tried. But then again you need a click bait thumbnail so it is what it is to get people to click 🤦🏽‍♂️

    The Hyperion Tempo made the list?!?!?! No no no... It may be my favorite shoe of the year... Sooo easy to get down to 5k pace, even more so maybe than the Endorphin Speed. Seriously, best thing about your channel is you're completely honest... Not all shoes work for everyone. Also, on your over pronation.. Wear shoes that work, the whole "you can't wear neutral" is a bunch of crap. I've been running 22 yrs and can over pronate... 20 of those years I did true stability and had knee pain and never was able to run daily. Last 2 years I went neutral and some stability and can run daily and up to 70mpw. Your biomechanics are unique to you and forcing a correction may not be right if other joints not set for it. The only recommendation I'd have is do some foot strengthening exercises to help but wear the shoes that work for you.

    As soon as I saw the title of this vid, I thought, yes! Finally more details on the shoes that didn't work for you. We need more reviews like this. I wonder if some shoes work less well or better for lighter runners. Most running shoe reviewers are blokes who are naturally heavier ( because they are tall and male) and will experience shoes differently, I'm sure, than lighter runners ( less tall, and generally female or smaller framed male).
    I recall one of the reviewers on roadtrailrun said that he preferred the Pegasus 37 women's version because it felt softer underfoot. The Pegasus 37 for women is softer under-foot by design to accommodate the lighter frame of women. Rightly so, I think. In fact, it occurred to me, other than the Peg 37, all women's running shoes are only designed to handle the difference in the shape of women's feet, not the lighter female body frame overall.
    It would be interesting to know the weights of all the other running shoe reviewers and if a runners weight has some influence about how they feel about a shoe. That is not to discount the impact of biomechanics which would also have an impact. Anyway, some food for thought here.

    • @RunLikeHeller
      @RunLikeHeller  4 роки тому +1

    re: “stability” shoes, when I started running 10 yrs ago, a running shoe store performed the iPad-treadmill video test on my stride and suggested stability shoes. One ankle pronated a little more than the other. I wore those first running shoes for some time while suffering a persistent ache in my hip flexor area on one side before deciding to revise the shoe decision. I think they were ASICS gel Kayanos. I have been fine ever since with scores of neutral shoes only. I’m sure there are people with severe pronation, extremely flat feet and other issues that might make stability shoes appropriate. But for garden-variety pronators, our feet and ankles are designed to pronate. And so many neutral shoes have supportive features. Even a good heel lock-in (such as I find in my adidas Bostons), or a great midfoot lock-in (as I find in the Brooks Hyperion Tempo) provide a level of stability without holding the foot and ankle in a vise that can cause problems farther up the mechanical chain.

    @levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 4 роки тому +1

    Emily, nice to hear the honest thoughts. I think a couple of commenters or replies were hinting they’d take shoes off your hands if they’re practically new. I’ll take those Brooks Hyperion Tempo if they’re a W size 9 and barely worn! I’m one of those who thinks this is the best Brooks shoe of late. I’m very light (100 lbs), petite, efficient with a quick natural cadence and they work great for me. The midsoles seemed to improve as I ran more in them but I agree they’re for people who like responsive midsoles. There’s one very overlooked good Brooks model, the Revel 4. I had v3 both both have gotten stellar reviews but too few reviews. They’re a very versatile shoe, light, fun, bouncy and one of those does-it-all shoes. Most notably, they’re only $100. For that price, more people should know about them, and those who have reviewed and praised them (eg. Believe in the Run and Road, Trail, Run) make this point as well. These are the two Brooks shoes that I think are on the right track. Martha

    I don't about the Brooks levitate 4s, but I own two pairs of the 5s(laceless version and stealth fit). I personally love them. They are a very ferm shoe compared to what else is out there. Definitely not a shoe for everyone, or even for most. Not a ton of feed back at slower paces so you'll really be exerting yourself more, but at those faster paces, I would say 7 minutes(a mile) or lower, pretty damn decent.

    I would have kept the Clifton Edge of not for the absence of rubber. I liked the design, but when the outaole starts to shred after three miles I don't have high hopes for longevity. I've gone a total of 9 miles in the Clifton 7 now, and the soles look so much better than those on the Edge.
    My philosophy is that you will always know your feet and knees better than anyone else can hope to know them. You will therefore know what works for your feet and knees better than anyone else. If a shoe hurts your knees, stop. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Great video once again :) iv been watching you videos for a bit now. I have noticed that people say about the pronation. And i was one of them at the start. But the more i look and watch your videos i see that some shoes have you pronate more than others. Like the hyperion elite 2 i thought u looked spot on :) but you run in stability shoes and actually experience pain which isnt good. So i think you running is good and maybe if anything if you strengthen up your glutes with resistance bands like glute bridges or clam shells. You would find that it might correct you ever so slight pronation :) keep up the work :)

    I tend to agree on the Hyperion Tempo. I got one and haven’t reviewed it yet either and have done 30 miles in it. I just found it very flat and lacking in arch support and although have done a few relatively fast miles in it, just felt was not helping me much. Kind of reminded of the Rincon and seemingly was one of the few not to be overly excited about that either. The Tempo seemed a bit better on a firm trail when appreciated the relative lightness coupled with some cushioning so might give that type of terrain more of a go. But a general thumbs down for Brooks then.

At one point I had the whole Saucony Endorphin collection. The Pro was too stiff with the carbon plate and the Shift was too firm a ride. The Speed V1 is kid dynamite!!! The Hoka Clifton 7 got retired only because I learned to late I needed a size 10.5, not a size 10 which started to make my toes scrunch and bleed. Live and learn.

    Interesting about the stability shoes. I never really got the point of trying to correct what your foot wants to do unless that is itself causing issues. A while back I had Achilles issues and my physio recommended some insoles that raised heel a bit and provided more arch support. They kind of worked when it was bad and I still use them in my “day” shoes but was pleased to get rid of them for running as added so much weight which is the usual problem with stability shoes.

I'm on the fence about them becasue I think the correction may be too musch for my foot that doesn't overpronate. I see that you typically do 50 miles before giving a review but I was wondering, how many miles you think are enough to draw a conclusion about a shoe?

    • @RunLikeHeller
      @RunLikeHeller  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching! From what you’re describing, the Kayano Lite might be a good option for you to look into. I’d say I usually know within a few solid runs whether or not something is working for me.

    I also have Kayanos, and get knee pain whenever I wear them (and I often wear mild/moderate stability shoes). I think it just has too much medial posting for me. (Very comfortable, padded, sturdy shoe though.)

    Honestly, this is what more shoe reviewers should do! Seeing people run 50-100 miles in a shoe they hate (or are not feeling it) is really kind of sad. Us regular runners don't do it. Ever. To many shoes out there to waste time on shoes that just are so-so. I run in tons of brands and after 20-25 miles, I know what i like or don't.

    • @RunLikeHeller
      @RunLikeHeller  4 роки тому +1

      Exactly! I just can’t see myself taking a shoe to 50 miles that I don’t enjoy or that causes me any kind of discomfort. So I’ll keep doing this periodically if any other shoes end up not working for me!

    I bought the Propel V1's mainly for walking as the FuelCell midsole is soft and very comfortable! They're actually still on sale. Not a fan of the flared heel counter though which seems to be the style in other shoes like the Hoka Clifton 7 and the Edge. It bothers my achilles more than it shouldn't.

    I (Nathan) couldn't get along with the original Glideride either. Felt like a "clash of personalities" for me. Design of the rocker was to go fast and the upper was super thick and like a heavy premium shoe. Oh well. FWIW, I thought V2 was better.

    For too long shoes have been prescriptive, saying if you do this you need this shoe to “fix” it. During the past 40+ years of this mindset injury rates didn’t change. Studies show that the shoe that feels the most comfortable leads to the least injuries. Find a shoe that works with your biomechanics. I have had overpronators do very well in neutral shoes. I’ve had overpronators really prefer a heavy stability shoe like the Brooks Beast. It’s all about the individual and what works with their biomechanics. As a shoe fitter I look at their gait and movement and get their injury history to get a category, but I really listen to their feedback and get them the shoe that they can wear and forget about. Categories don’t matter, comfort does!

    • @RunLikeHeller

      The ghost 13 is a great daily trainer. If you’re just starting out, you’re probably going to have to try a few different options until you find what works best for you. Saucony ride 13 is another great option, so is the Hoka Clifton 7, or new balance 1080v10 or v11.

I plan on trying the Hyperion Tempo when the price comes down, but no way am I paying that much for a shoe I feel like has such mixed reviews. I don't think you are alone in dislking it. I've seen some other negative reviews (I can't remember who now though since I researched it so long ago).
