Hey yall at TRC! I recently started running, and really am enjoying it. Actually ran my first 10k yesterday in 58:49! Thank you for the many educational videos, they've really helped me start my journey
I got the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 this summer. I used them twice, and smashed my 5K and 10K PB with them. Trying on different super shoes was tricky though, I did not find any shops that stocked a lot of super shoes, so I ended up ordering them online because I thought they looked cool and the reviews I had seen made me hope the shoe was suitable for me.
After watching Andy review the Kiprun shoes, I decided to get a pair, and completed my 1st Marathon 8 days ago. I loved them so thank you for your time and I have spent a lot of time leading up to it watching your videos and got so many useful tips from you all.
Ive been lucky enough to have access to heavily discounted shoes for the last 12 months. As a result I have LOTS (an obsessive number) of running shoes including: -Nike Alphafly3 -Nike Vaporfly3 -NB SC Elite v3 -NB SC Elite v4 -Adidas Adios Pro 3 -Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris I love them all for slightly different races... The adidas are probably the most durable.NB most comfortable, Asics fastest (for me) on 5-20k, Nike AF3 fastest for 42.2..... I couldn't chose just 1 pair!!!
I've got a pair of Adios Pro 3's and I really want to love them but I just can't! Picked up some Endorphin Pro 3's and I find them so much more comfortable!
I got the puma deviate nitro elite v 2s as a cheaper option a few months ago and been really impressed so bought the v3 and great shoe. For price they are a really good option there is no doubt slightly faster shoes it depends what you want I find them very springy and more stable than I expected.
I recently bought the Adidas Adios Pro 3 (on a discount) and ran a half marathon PB in a time I hadn't dared to imagine to be possible. So far I am delighted with my purchase :)
I’m with the TRC office on this one, I bought the Deviate 3 on an educated guess on my preferred foams and drop etc and raced in it on Sunday, it didn’t disappoint.
What would you guys recommend for mixed terrain? My local halfmarathon is like 70% road 30% gravel / forest paths. I recently got Vaporfly 3s which I do like (only used them for a 5k so far) but looking their durabilty don't think I want to use them for it. Most super shoes don't seem to be made for anything other than roads...
@@runningchannel haven’t made the jump quite yet, but since the Rebel V4’s are the only shoes that fit me beautifully, gonna try the SC Elite when I’m ready!
Yeah, new balance is so good with all their widths compared to Nike, currently rocking some 860v14s, wonder what other shoes I should try that I can get in a 2e, but I’m also wondering if my foot might be wider since my feet are still like filling the whole bottom
I think new balance have just released a wide version of the supercomp. But yeah it's so frustrating that there's seemingly none for runners with wide feet!
@@clrtomsett123456 maybe I’ll check those out, currently building up my rotation and I’ve heard great things about the sc trainer, wish Nikes has wides. Nike is slightly poorer quality but as a student everyone is rocking Nike shoes and all and just feel like I’m not fitting in yk materialistic problems 😔
Sadly, there isnt an easy way to tell if a super shoe is right for you unless you ran in them for between 15-50miles. No amount if testing it at a running store, or try their treadmill at store, it just wont work. Finding the right super shoe is actually costly if you dont know how to find it right.
Could you include in your shoe review videos a discussion about the toe box? As someone with thin heels and a wide toe box, it is very hard to find shoes that work well, especially at different distances and speeds and terrains (and I can’t afford to have 7 pair!). It’s maddening because often, a pair will be okay on shorter runs and then tear my feet apart on a longer run, but also vice versa! anyone in the TRC office experience this? Advice?
My biggest issue supershoes is finding out they just don’t work for you because of rubbing, hotspots or even sizing and then you can’t return them. That’s an expensive mistake. The ones that offer a run guarantee are rarely available ☹️
@@runningchannel I mean normal shoes that ordinary people can afford...ie not the latest/shiniest, just solid/dependably comfortable 'clogs' for the rest of us 😂
@@AdrianMcGavock Back in the 70's I remember wearing Adidas Gazelle's which seemed to last forever; there must be some similar shoes in existence today that are affordable and long lasting.
It depends what you mean about normal price. Every day running shoes often retail for £100-200! If you want last years models I've seen previous generations of carbon fibre supershoes from Puma, Mizuno & Nike vapourfly 2 on sale for under £80 in the past few months. Vapourfly 3 were also on sale at £119 2 weeks ago. For outright speed any of these are likely to be faster than your bog standard running shoes from Hoka, ON, Adidas, Nike etc.
@@runningchannel I ran 20 miles in 2 hours 50 minutes 6 miles left legs started Cramping. I was on pace to finish 3 hours 35 minutes I will redeem myself next year two half marathons in April 💪💪💪💪💪
What would you say are the most stable super shoes? I use stability shoes for everyday runs, but interested to know thoughts when it comes to super shoes.
First comment! Excited to watch this :D Edit: Currently I only own Adidas-runners (as I really like how natural and light they feel), is there any other brand that could fit me? I've tried Nike and Puma, but it didn't feel right
What is the best race day shoe for a marathon for someone who overpronates this year I ran Manchester Marathon in gel kayano 30 in 4.36 but I would like to get a PB when I run Edinburgh Marathon in May
Prices are ridiculous but making this shoes available to the masses when they last so little it's even more ridiculous when people are always concerned about the environment. Are they at least recyclable?
I also wonder how much they actually help the avg. runner. Elite runners are so much more efficient and faster and intuitively I believe they would benefit so much more from the bounce of a carbon plated shoe.
Adiós Pro's for half/marathon....anything shorter Takumi sen 10 you can't beat it for speed sessions and 5km/10km races..slightly lower stack if you consider 33mmheel lower stack and loads of grip
I would never use Vaporflys for marathons, they are way too low to the ground for me. I only use them for intervals or tempo at most Also feel the Asics Sky Paris were disappointing. While fast, the tongue slips down like crazy and the laces are barely long enough to do the runners loops. Aggrivating enough to make me go back to the regular Sky Plus
"Would you count a pb in an illegal shoe?" Considered it & going with no. I want to know how fast *I* am. A good shoe helps, but I think there's a tipping point where it's more on the shoe than on me. So it doesn't count (for me). Having said that--those weird bouncy shoes look like something out of a Wily E. Coyote cartoon & I 100& want to try them.
Don't race in illegal shoes. Yeah, you aren't going to win races or take prize money, but it's a bit like cutting a course in a race. Keep the playing field level.
Your pronunciation of Adidas just kills me. It goes against everything I have heard for 50 years of running. I realize it is the German pronunciation, but it isn't how most people in the USA say the word. They were my first pair of shoes as a high school cross country runner in 1973 and I'll never pronounce it your way. ;-)
Me watching this knowing I will just inevitably just buy another pair of Nike Pegasus haha
hahaha

I just checked my strava and I've put 936km in my adios pro 3s and they are still fine for me, just did a 58 minute 15km in them.
Oh great!!
Great shoe! Love mine but definitely looking forward to the v4
You don't feel them feeling a little dead by that point? Impressive
@@LashanR i weigh 65kg so there is less strain on them

Love the Deviate Nitro Elite 3’s. They’re absolute monsters and very bouncy. Very comfortable too. I have 5k, 10k and HM PB’s in them
Amazing!!
Sarah and Rick, such a good duo.....
Yeah, Rick's my favourite.
As a middle of the pack type runner, I prefer the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4.
Nice!
@@runningchannelThis is me too. Just about to run Abingdon in them.
just got some. They're also the No1 selling carbon shoe in the specialist running store i went to.

£99.99 on Decathlon website right now

Need this kind of video more!
Next video for daily trainers of 2024? I'm almost 1000 miles on mine, so I'm looking for a replacement soon
You need some superblast2, best daily shoe on the market currently
Great review on Supershoe guys. James you were bonkers! Lol
What shops are there to try these on as suggested ? I have yet to find any shop selling a range of supershoes

Still in my Saucony endorphin pro 3s, need to upgrade soon but bewildered by the choice! 😂
Really wish more super shoes came in 2E sizes. If you need wide, you have shockingly few choices.
That's interesting! Which do you run in?

would be great to see a review of 'normal' shoes as well... (even better if you've already done a comparison vid which I've not seen yet?) 👍
Do you mean the top running shoes of the year?

Tried most and the best is the new Asics Metaspeed sky paris. Most athletes yesterday in Chicago used them as well for a reason.
have you raced a marathon in them yet?
@@runningchannel yes! 3:29 first marathon in Berlin 2 weeks ago
As a slower heavier runner I feel like for a 5k, 10k and a half I like them but for the full I'm too slow for a super shoe.
Adiós Pro's for half/marathon....anything shorter Takumi sen 10 you can't beat it for speed sessions and 5km/10km races..slightly lower stack if you consider 33mmheel lower stack and loads of grip
going to stick with my Adios, I like the 6, and 7 is Ok, and am looking forward to the 8s when they go on sale. For a 1.55 HM I dont need 'super'
A bit cheeky to slip the Adios Pro 4s in here if they're not available til next year, no?
Just letting you know!
I use asda trainers, they're fine, 24.3 5k.
Not me getting 250+ miles out of a pair of Supercomps during a marathon training block before I'll change them 😂
No mention of the asics metaspeed edge paris?
Are they bringing anything positive for somebody who is slow?
Do you have a view on Metaspeed Sky vs Metaspeed Edge?
I would never use Vaporflys for marathons, they are way too low to the ground for me. I only use them for intervals or tempo at most
Also feel the Asics Sky Paris were disappointing. While fast, the tongue slips down like crazy and the laces are barely long enough to do the runners loops. Aggrivating enough to make me go back to the regular Sky Plus
I use Adios 8s for racing^^
Do any of these have wheels built into the heel?
Altra Vanish carbon 2 for me
I'm fine with classic shoes.
Saucony endorphin pro 4 is so comfortable and responsive
Don't sleep on the 361 Miro Nude. Similar to Evo 1, at less than half cost.
where to buy them :)
I need a totally illegal shoe that will make me look forward to every run.
The majority of shops don't sell carbon races to test them out.
I can't go past the Nike Invincible run 3 when I buy new trainers
I don't ever see myself needing to buy a pair of super shoes... want, for sure, but actually forking over the cash for one... not so much.
A lot of money for just running round the park on a Saturday morning 😂
probably not worth it for park runs
Worth it for a Parkrun PB attempt in my opinion :D
"Would you count a pb in an illegal shoe?" Considered it & going with no. I want to know how fast *I* am. A good shoe helps, but I think there's a tipping point where it's more on the shoe than on me. So it doesn't count (for me).

Great logic!
“Best running supershows of 2024” but has a shoe thats not released until 2025 😅😅
Don't race in illegal shoes. Yeah, you aren't going to win races or take prize money, but it's a bit like cutting a course in a race. Keep the playing field level.
Wahoooo new shoes
I just wear minimalist shoes that cost 60 bux instead
Why did he keep saying TLC instead of TRC?
I can just never get over how ridiculous they look! I just can't imagine ever wearing them! Then again, at my turtle pace, I'll never need to 😂
which shoes do you run in?
@@runningchannel Always Brooks, Adrenaline GTS 23 at the moment for my big runs though.
Turtle realy dont need. Poor shoes in your feet 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@emanuelsantos5585 I mean, that's why I don't wear super shoes?! 🤣
Are you guys buying these way overpriced shoes with your own $$ or are you being given them by the companies? Prices are ridiculous.
A bit of both, we're lucky enough that we get sent some of them to try out, but others we purchase as a company
The positive reviews will usually give you an insight to the freebies
