You call out your “middle of the pack” capability, but your reviews are elite! Great, informative and approachable comparison for those of us not built to be runners
Thanks for watching!
Love the Cielo X1. The cutout in the midsole lateral side prevents over pronation ❤
I look forward to Sunday mornings to watch your reviews
Yep--I drink my coffee, eat my oatmeal and get ready for my Sunday morning run while Heller tells me what to spend my money on.
I love my Cielo X1's They truly are super comfortable, and really just help you fly. I run a full minute faster per mile in them ,vs my other shoes
I have the NB SC Elite V4 and I’ve done a 10k and 10 mile race in them and they are 👌🏻
Sending loves from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you for making this! Super informative and loved the perspectives 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️
Thanks for watching it!
I love these videos Keep them coming!!!!!!
I absolutely will!
Great video! Fellow mid-pack runner here and agree 100% with your rankings. I ran Cherry Blossom in the Hoka Cielo X1s and they were perfect! Would definitely choose them for half and full marathon. For 5k or 10k I would choose Asics metaspeed Edge Paris
Great review and comparison! The only ones of those I've tried are the Endorphin 4 and SC Elite 4. I wound up choosing the Endorphin for my marathon this past weekend because even though the SC Elite felt faster the Endorphin felt more comfortable. It also didn't rub the back of my left ankle like the SC Elite did. Will be using the SC Elite for a 10k in a few weeks though since it works great for me at paces faster than marathon pace.
I agree 100% on all the specs you expect from supershoes. That's why you are my favorite youtuber. I thought I was going to get NB elite V4. But i fell in love with Diadora gara carbon. The most beautiful supershoe out there.❤
I’ve heard good things about that shoe!
I always enjoy shoe comparison reviews. Best of luck in Boston 🏅
I’m not actually doing Boston! Just wanted to weigh in on the shoes I think people will be wearing 😊
Appreciate your insights as a fellow middle packer. The ASICS shoes look quite nice, wish they were cheaper 😭
Saucony pro 4’s are my first super shoe and they aren’t the most comfortable. I’ll run in the half in them if I’m not beat up, but I’m trying to find a different choice for marathon. Sounds like your top three are worth the check out for the marathon! Nice reviews!
Very informative, concise and enjoyable as always. A bit surprised the ON Cloudmonster Hyper was not included on this list, tho. I think It can easily fit in it!
I wasn’t a big fan of
huh.., who knew ? great video.
Great list, the Hoka is my favorite also and the one I’m crushing miles in. I tried the V4 also…my only issue with it is the price. It should be 200.00. I paid 300.00 for the Hoka, and would do it again, it’s amazing. The V4 isn’t aggressive enough, V5 needs a more prominent rocker and a better tongue.
I’m training for my first long run (half marathon) and I tried on nearly all of these shoes after getting fitted and found new balance the most agreeable as well. I didn’t try the X1s, so interested to try some and compare.
Got my PB on 10 and 13 miles wearing the Cielo X1! I love it except for the laces. 😁
So happy to hear you're a fan of the NB SC Elite v4, Emily! Oddly enough, I'm a fan of both the SC 'Elite v3, of which I've owned two pairs of, as well as the Endorphin Pro 3, which I've completed two marathons in. So, this video couldn't come at a better time as I move towards my next purchase! Your thoughts and rankings of the SC Elite 4 vs the Endorphin Pro 4 will definitely have some bearing on which of the two I buy next. Thanks a ton!
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered the Hoka Cielo X1 can’t wait to run in them. Want to use them for 10K and above.
Adidas Pro 3 fan here, looking forward to the Pro 4 and hoping there aren’t many changes. Very intrigued by the Meta Speed Sky, mostly due to the very light weight.
I agree with the Cielo X1. However, it is slowly becoming a super trainer for me rather than a race-day shoe. The Sky Paris I got disappointed at first because I was expecting it to be like the Sky+ which I really loved. I did not expect it to feel really firm for my taste. In spite of this, the shoe is somewhat growing on me. I mean it should because I paid a lot of money to have it. 😂.
Thanks for making this video. 😊
I have the New Balance super comp Elite v4 and I had a hard time with it my first 20 miles with blisters just terrible. I absolutely love this shoe now I guess it had to be broken in, now I have no troubles with it I actually lace it up daily and find myself wearing it everywhere! LOL but it is definitely my most Favorite, I want to try the new Hoka Cielo X-1 but one expensive or over 225.00 shoe per this year because I am buying every New Balance shoe that Launches in 2024 ... they are my Favorite Brand shoe!!
As someone who loves the vaperfly 2, im excited to one day try the Edge Paris. Ive found people saying because of the plate positioning they are for similar runners.
Cielo X1totally came out of left field when released. Im really surprised at how many people love this shoe so i'll have to check it out as well when my wallet is heavier haha.
Cielo X1 is a fantastic shoe. My favorite shoe. I'm just nervous about the longevity of the foam.
Super shoes at a super price 😁. I'm listening to this now.... surprised a bit by Saucony being last. I just paused the video and will now guess #1 🤔....drumroll...NB! Will now hit play....
Awesome review hon. I have a question for you. Would you say the Metaspeed Edge Paris is similar in ride to the endorphin pro 3? Thank you for putting out reviews weekly. I really appreciate them.
The endorphin pro 3 is maybe a little softer! Thanks for watching!
ill be using the sky paris for my sub 3 hour attempt
Great video and list. Ran my first marathon in the SC Elite V4 last month. They were great! Have you tried Diadora’s racer? Heard it’s good.
I haven’t but everyone is telling me to give it a shot!
I love NB sc elite. I loved v3 as well. I feel like that shoe can handle a wide variety if paces and distances with ease. Saucony and Hoka shoes have always killed my feet and arches, and nikes fits too narrow. I have fussy feet, which is another reason i love the elite v4- super comfy.
Sc elite is just soooo comfy and still fast!
You should try the Diadora Gara. I think you would love it
Appreciate the "middle packer" perspective! Would we get similar video for super trainers? Would love for you to compare the new Hoka Skyward X with your well-loved SC Trainers.
Yes I can do this at some point soon! But I will also be doing a skyward x video soon as well
Middle of the Packer?
Middle of the Packer is around a 9:00/mile pace. No! You're in the top 25%. Great video Emily! Good Luck at Boston!
I run 9min pace 99% of the time!!!! Thanks for watching! Not running Boston but wanted to give my take on some of the shoes that are surely gonna be there
I guess what's nice about being a super slow back of the pack beginner is I don't really need to worry about super shoes at this point. 🙂 But that doesn't stop my curiosity, I've never ran in a plated shoe and have no idea what makes any of these more special than a typical daily trainer. I'm still running the 1080 V13 but someday I hope to have a need for something like these!
Anyone of any pace can run in a supershoe! Thanks for watching :)
@@RunLikeHeller Listen, let me talk myself out of the FOMO and not emptying my bank account trying all of these! 😂
It gives you way more speed. For the same heart rate i am 10 seconds per km faster for example. Puma velocity nitro vs Puma deviate nitro.
I can only imagine top of the line like alpha flys. Probably 15 seconds per km faster
@@lowzyyy On I'll get there eventually, I just started a few months ago at this point. I'm running a 35 minute 5k so I'm still building a foundation. I just like all the different ways shoes can help you, and eventually I'm gonna jump in with some higher end stuff
AF 3 is still the king!!!! If I'm spending $250 or more, It's the only shoe I would buy. 3:03 in Chicago this fall!!!!!!!! Caveat: I only buy race shoes to race in. I use other types of shoes for 5k/10k, other types of runs. Not looking for versatility in my race day shoe so I totally get your rankings...
I'm not too far off from your rankings..I rank the NB sc elite V4 as the easiest on the feet..the Saucony pro4 has the lightest on feet feel but is not as soft as the NB..the hoka rolls better than the others but a tad heavy..but the one I usually grab for a race is the hoka rocket x2..since the alphafly V3 is not available I don't even rank it..IMO they are all compromises and none have all the best points in one shoe..how nice it would be to build a great race shoe from various parts of each..seems like no one really wants to make a truly great shoe..I believe it's by design and up to what the person making the shoe likes..if there is a really great marathon racing shoe I have never used it..nice video Emily, have a good race ..😊
Thanks! Not racing Boston just figured I’d make a video about the shoes we’ll see on peoples feet!
Cielo X1 won the B.A.A. Road Mile this year.
The Hoka is so heavy. But people seem to love it. Would you recommend for a 50k? My first one in the fall
I would! If it’s a road 50k. It’s heavier but honestly the way the midsole is constructed I didn’t even feel the weight
Between the Sky Paris and Edge Paris, which of the two closely resembles the ride of the Endorphin Pro 3?
Hmm maybe Sky
Right
How behind the times I am. I'm still using my Puma Deviate Elite from 2022...and did well with it just last weekend.
Probably need to change up that race-day shoe thing soon!
Emily, since you've run in both, is the SC Elite v4 worth the expense over the Rebel v4? Seems like the plate is the only real difference and I'm not sure my pace (12) would take advantage of it. Thoughts?
Honestly, I think it’s worth the expense. The plate just gives you a little more help and it’s still a very comfortable shoe
Great review if you where going between new balence and you have foot issue which in your opinion has better arch and toe box area? Thanks and hi ruby
I’d go with the sc elite v4!
@@RunLikeHeller thanks
I love the Endorphin pro3 and just the fit of the 4 and less aggressive rocker just didn’t feel as nice for me either. How does the sc elite v4 compare to the endorphin pro 3?
Softer in my opinion but just as propulsive
The prime-x and the hooks xielo(?) should feel about the same? What u think?
Honestly I like the Cielo x1 way better. Feels less unstable, more fun feeling underfoot etc it just worked better for me
I like the asics metaspeeds look but damn supershoes are just too expensive. Probably never gona try them
I agree with you. Wait until the new versions come out then get the older versions for around $150. $225 or more for a shoe is too expensive!
Very disappointed in the Saucony Pro 4, the Pro 3 is one of my favorite of all time. All I wanted was the 3 with a better outsole and an upper update, totally diff shoe imo.
The rest you have here are impossible to find in my size right now so I am torn what to use this year.
Race time is soon.
what do you mean that the arch in the metaspeed sky seems very prominent?
It’s very noticeable and bothers me
Question: I need something somewhat durable to do speed and race in, I’m a 5-10k guy. Would the NB Elite V3 get me those top end paces, or should I just get like a vaporfly 2
I’d get vaporfly 2 over sc elite v3 I think
@@RunLikeHeller sweet thanks
Alphafly is very unstable. Might not work best for overpronation. An advice: put some paces to maybe relate better to your perspective. Middle of the pack's perspective at 4.2 min/km is different than at 6.2 min/km.
Question: NB sc elite v4 or Endorphin pro 3?
I’m a back of the pack heavy runner (just ran my first half in 2:27) and was dead set on the endorphin, but the sc elite reviews make sound like it’ll be more to my liking. But the endorphins pro 3 are on sale for $120 right now 😫
The pro 3 is fantastic! You can’t go wrong with either the sc elite v4 or pro 3!
These shoes are crazy expensive
Sadly yes supershoes are big bucks
If you keep hitting times like you did in DC, were going to make you stop calling yourself a middle packer!
😂
Never getting Hokas again after the Mach X. That shoe is a clunker.
I’ve never been more intrigued to try a Hoka shoe before. I’m just unusually tuning in something max cushion lol. I love my invincible run 3s. I have 3 pair (found them at a Nike clearance outlet) and was interested in trying the alphafly if I come across a sale lol. But the Hoka look cool
Very misleading title... You didn't rank 2024 shoes, only 6 shoes.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
😂
