    I have found max cushioned shoes excellent for protecting your legs, especially if you are a mature runner. I use the Nike Invincible Zoom X and have done 400 miles in mine so far and they are just beginning to shows some signs of wearing out, mostly on the uppers near where the laces are tied as this area must get clipped by the heal of the other shoe when running. Good job I have a spare pair standing by.

    Just received my new pair of Invincible V2 (40% off) to eat up miles ahead of and into my spring marathon block. Had thought about the NB More, but once I saw that discount and my experience with ZoomX in the AlphaFly V1, it was a done deal.

      @@jakutz If I could get another pair of Invincible V2's I'd grab another pair. Current pair are closing in on 700KM, and are only used on recover runs. Everything I saw about the Invincible V3 turned me away from it (heel lift issues). Still haven't tried a NB More version. I just find NB in general uninspiring.

    I have the more V4 , and love it. I love higher cushion shoes, but this one is so far my favourite. I would like to see the shoe lose some weight though, as this could be a non plated, max stack marathon shoe for some people. (yes I known they have the SC trainer) It would be good if they could combine the road contact fresh foam form the beacon with the Fresh foam X from the More V4, with the upper of the rebel.

  • @imacfubu
    @imacfubu 2 роки тому +2

    I've done 1000km in the More V3 and love wearing them to protect the legs. The invincibles definitely feel more unstable especially if you live in hilly areas but they're enjoyable on the flat.

    These work well for those days when you just get lost, no watch, maybe just headphones. But just pure running. Also these are the first max cushioned shoes that worked for me on the treadmill. But, I bought the wide. On the first two runs they pressed on my midfoot but I eventually broke it in. I have super wide feet (should have chosen swimming as my hobby)

  • @seeleftyrun9845
    @seeleftyrun9845 2 роки тому +1

    Yes, I have a recovery shoe & it’s the Nike Zoomx Invincible version 1, which a recently bought for $95 U.S. I wouldn’t spend more than $130 dollars for it, though. In fact, I wouldn’t spend more than $170 on a shoe w/o a plate. Been wanting to try the More V4, but I feel like the Nike meets all of my recovery needs. I don’t use a recovery shoe until I’m training for marathons & I increase my mileage. My “serves all purposes” shoe would be the Saucony Ride 15. That’s what I use on my easy runs when I’m not training for a marathon.

  • @JonSnow009
    @JonSnow009 Рік тому +2

    So I bought the V4 at a discount (got them at 99$) and for that price is worth the money. However, it comes nowhere near the Invincible (which I own 2 pairs and use them all the time), neither in comfort, nor in the energy return. I felt slow like a walrus with the NB, compared to the Nike, honestly. They do look fantastic though so I will use them as walking shoes. One more point - they are indeed very stable - but I prefer "unstable" shoes, like the Invincible, because they accomodate any kind of angle you'd want to put your foot in. And it works better your stability muscles on the calves.

    I overpronate slightly on my right foot. I had 2 pairs of Invincible v1. Loved them, put 900km on the 2nd pair and wore right through the soles to the midsoles.
    But as they became worn out, my right knee started to complain. I thought, well they are pretty knackered, so I recycled them and bought some new v2s . Knee was still not happy. It seems my joints have taken against them!
    Currently doing my day to day running in a pair of Saucony Tempus, which are lightweight, stable, not super soft, but definitely a very smooth ride. Much better than so many clunky plodding trad stability shoes. Happy to pick up the pace too; just a little high-stack for all out speed stuff 👍

    I just got the More V3 for $59. For some reason it makes the arch side of my feet a bit uncomfortable. I didn't notice it much on both my 10 mile runs until I started to stand on the shoes for a long time (wearing it out casually). Hoping I need to break it in but if not, I guess I can use it for short walk with my dog. Guess I'll try the V4 when it goes on sale at my local NB outlet. I think I'll stick with my Novablast 3 TR and SC trainer.

    I currently have... Asics nimbus 25, 26, NB 1080 v12, v13, Adidas Boston 12, Altra Via Olympus 2 and just got the More V4. The nimbus is stiff, the newer one has a nice upper but they all run small and narrow and tight in general. Asics 4E isn't even close to a 2E in NB. 26 is for sure more comfy but the toe rocker and stiffness ie lack of flex, annoys me. and they just don't fit well, even in 4E. The 26 is clearly the better shoe but I can't really use either one. The Boston I can't even wear. I gave it to my kid. The 1080 V13 is really nice and comfortable, cool shoe but one major issue... the midsole in the heel is so squishy and soft that it 100% feels like it goes into negative drop and hyperextends the knee. They are already a low drop shoe, which I prefer but it's very disconcerting. Not for running but just standing around. You could get used to it, but I find it off putting. The v12 isn't the most mega or best anything but it's just an all around solid good shoe. High recommend it.. Very flexible, it has the least midsole of any of these but cushion is quite nice, however the upper is nowhere near as plush as the v13 or new nimbus tho. The Altra.. another boat of a shoe like the nimbus. Imagine the nimbus 26 but much softer cushion with no drop (vs 8 mm) and it actually fits a fat foot with room leftover. it's stiff asf but it has an annoying toe rocker to make up for it. The most forefoot cushion I've ever seen. Overall very comfy and quite plush. iMy first Altra and it's the most non Altra Altra basically but I like it and I'd try others for sure. Now to get to my point... the MORE v4.It's better than any of the above. this is the most comfy and stable shoe of the lot. Somehow it's not stiff and it doesn't have any annoying rocker in the toe. Low drop. Really amazing shoe. Downside is the upper isn't on the same level as the 1080v13 or nimbus 26, or the bondi based on what I've heard. Its still worth every cent. I really want to try the Kaiha road, but I have to save some money to get it. I've heard it's very similar to the more but even more plush. I'm all about the comfort, cush and plush. Life is too short. But it also has to be fit and should be stable. I'd also like to try an Altra Torin 7 but again I gotta save for it. Any suggestions would be great. I just wish the shoe companies didn't constantly change everything all the time. It's tedious asf. I've never owned Nikes in my life but I'd be open to trying it. Havent tried Hokas yet either.

    In general the toeboxes in NB are much better than Nike and Hoka.
    Unless you from childhood have deformed feet, always using narrow footwear with a heel-lift, that ruins the efficiency of your calfmuscles as well.
    I would always go for a NB in width E.

    is important to be honest, this is a really bad shoe, when you put the shoes on your feet it feels as if the foot/ankle rotates outwards, it is objectionable to say that these are good shoes. No other shoes I've come across have this problem. I've been running for over 30 years, so shoes are something I'm good at. I ran 110-120km a week.sent the shoes straight back.Hoka is the brand with the worst quality, wears out after 200-300km, broken heel. Many customers complain about Hoka Bondi 8's quality. The shoes feel like I'm being sucked into the asphalt. I've run over 1000km with them. They in the shop say that some Hoka models can't even stand gravel!

    No I don’t like overly soft high stack shoes. I enjoy the Endorphin Shift for my easy runs.

    Problematic shoe because it’s such a low drop, toe box is too wide and if used too much will cause numerous issues like plantar fasciitis. Soft shoes like this can be very dangerous if used too much.

      Should I use this or nimbus 25 for daily all day use? These are half the price

      @@achyutkeshinisudan4942 spend the cash and get the Asics Superblast. It will replace a need for a speed shoe and a daily trainer.
