I just bougth the Novablast 4 yesterday, ran a 14km recovery run today and I ran on clouds. I learned about these from you and went ahead and purchased it. Don't regret it for a moment! Thanks, Ben!
From amateur to amateur advice. I've tested many shoes but for me if I'd need to buy only one pair I'd go with puma deviate nitro 2. Great shoe, very versatile and I've run it on concrete and also on trails in the woods(no crazy ones, just flat forest).
Thanks!
which is more stable between deviate and velocity?
@@ezekieltong12 velocity
Newbie runner here with advice to newbies. (A) Go to a runner shoe store, I was stunned to figure out I was wearing 1 size too small for like 25 years of my life! (B) Start slow and slowly add on the miles per week. (3) You don't need to worry about speed, just slowly stack on mileage around Zone 2 style (learn to hold yourself back!) (C) Novafoam 4 vs Gel Nimbus 26s I tried on and bought the Novafoam 4s for the occasional speed runs, but I am heavier person, I would 1,000% recommend the Gel Nimbus 26s for a lot of slow running and/or work shoe. Absolutely like walking on clouds. The con of the 4's is the rubber, which I will pray will last a long time (1 shoe to do it all)
I absolutely love asics anything for beginners, i started in novablast, and recommend them to my partner who wanted to start running and the gel nimbus. Love the Asics and love them for recommendations
I also started with Novablast, love it!
i got the novablast 4 in green as my first shoe and i'm loving it. I don't really run but i speed walk for 10 km every day.
Thank you so much for your content, your videos are very interesting and informative!!!
Don't forget about the TR version of the Novablasts. Not a real trail shoe but the added grip makes them a much better option if you live somewhere where it rains regularly or you are running on paths/light trails
I'm so glad I watched your video before looking into the invincible 3. Almost every other channel praised it but your criticism of the heel counter was 100% true when I tried them on. Now I'm enjoying my Novablast 4 for my daily training plus life style and will get the superblast 2 next. I've become a big fan of Asics thanks to your channel
Amazing video thank you!
Always a pleasure to see your videos.
I'd love to see your opinion/review on the Saucony Tempus!
thanks Ben! your reviews made me buy the novablast 4. more powers to you!
Great review Ben, The Brooks Ghost is worth a mention for beginners looking for a good neutral daily trainer
Great to see the speed goat in there. A great trail shoe and I even did a 21k long run in them last night through the streets. Great content Ben keep it up!!
Great video as always! 1080 v11s is my do it all shoe, though i only do easy runs and one long run on the weekend. I ran 30km in the 1080 v11s once. I have 3 pairs of 1080 v11s that i got for less than half price. I have velocity nitro v1 and clifton 8 too but rarely use them to change things up if ive used 1080 v11s few days in a row. I have slightly wide flat feet and love NB shoes for running and other sports i play, their casual shoes are great too, just fits me well. Asics novablast, nimbus and glideride interest me too. Deviate nitro is a shoe i would like to try one day too when im bit more advanced.
Yep Novablast 4 and Hoka Speedgoats 5 are both in my rotation. add a pair of Saucony Exodus Ultras if you want some cheap comfy trail shoes that are also comfy on the road ( models 1 & 2 £70-80)
I started running in my work boots during my daily walks back in 2006, when no one was around I would run a little further than the day before then go back to walking, can’t say I would recommend it lol
Glad to have come across this as a beginner runner!!! Sticking to my choice of Gel-Nimbus 26 then. Yay!
If anyone puts a new runner in anything plated, leave that store immediately.
I disagree running in plates shoes is actually a shortcut to running fast without having to train for a longer time. But it’s not necessarily bad for you
Tryna get that sales commission LOL
@@NikhilonYT the verdict is still out on how it effects our bodies long term. Learn how to run normal first.
Maybe a aggressive carbon racer yes but there are lots of plated shoes that are not so aggressive
@mesomorphik believe it or not, Orthopedic specialists and Physical Therapists prescribed carbon plated inserts for a lot of patients with varying issues. So it's not uncommon to have someone walking around in a carbon plated shoe as opposed to purchasing a custom carbon plated insert.
My daughter has started running, and having moved past 'is it a fad' we've discussed shoes. She went to local stores but there isn't a decent running shop nearby. So I bought her 3 pairs of new sale shoes (on-line) from last season to try. Saucony Guide 16 (£50) Saucony ES3 (£65) and Asics Trabuco Max 2 for off-road (£65). I took the view that getting 3 pairs for the price of one was a great way for her to find out what works for her, and she can sell the ones she doesn't like.
Hey Ben! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Puma Magnify when the new model comes out :)
Every foot and Gait is different. So TH-cam "advice" is just "taken under consideration". AT THE END OF THE DAY. you're wearing what feels right to you.
Follows the saying "listen to everyone follow no one". Take as much advice as you can but at the end of the day you have to find what works for you.
Mate, I just went with what felt comfortable. KNOWING I'm not going to a race in a while. Just needed to be comfortable while slowly building up the miles. KEEP IT SIMPLE and TRY ON DIFFERENT PAIRS FROM DIFFERENT BRANDS.
Agreed on the Novablast 4 or 3 if you can still find one on sale yet. Fantastic shoe.
The hardest part is working out if you prefer firm or soft. It isn't something you can work out in a shop or with a quick run. I have been using the novablast 3's and speed 3's. Got a pair of more v4's and don't really like them. They are good for walking. I don't like to run in them. Definitely going to stick to a firmer shoe from now on. The blast being as soft as i would go.
I highly recommend Noosa tri 15 low price, great performance
I just got my first proper running shoes on sale and went for adidas duramos. I decided to take it easy and go at a comfortable pace. Ended up doing 10 miles for the first time ever at 7mins per km pace. My best 5k pace is just over 6mins per km
I got the gel-nimbus 25s about a month ago for my first shoe and my girlfriend is getting annoyed with how much a talk about them and how much I love them.
Hi,
This is beneficial information. Thanks!
I have just a question: What is your recommendation about running shoes for wet weather and rainy situations?
I love my Novablast 3’s. I have two pairs, so I probably won’t need to buy the 4’s until hopefully they go on sale. I would add a Brooks Glycerin to this list. I have a pair of 20’s and I absolutely love them. My two favorite daily trainers are my Novablast 3’s and my Glycerin 20’s.
I ❤ my ASICS Novablast 4. Great easy running shoes and great colour way.
Ben parkes when can we see a best of new balance shoe review, loved the asics and buying the nova blast but I love my new balance, can never keep up with what's best and really can't afford to buy shoes to not like them, keep up the top work 👍
i got the reebok floatride energy 5 and they're alright, not amazing but not terrible
I ❤ my ASICS Novablast 4. Great for my Easy runs!!
If you're really on a tight budget, you can try the 361 Degrees Fierce 3.0. i got mine for like USD55 and I love it. Super soft, true to size, great beginner shoes. You can train and you can even race in it (if you're a beginner).
Morning, any advice for a new heavy runner (105kg) who's current aim is to finish a parkrun without stopping! Using Altra Lone Peek 6 at the moment but wondering if there are better, don't have to be zero drop.
Started running recently and the shoe buying process stressed me out. Luckily I have a great running store near me that allows 30 day returns even if you’ve run in shoes. After trying four pairs, finally settled on the New Balance 1080v13 and they’re perfect for me.
Sounds like a great running shop 😊
Started running a few weeks ago can't decide on shoes have flat feet need something that can be used run daily and walking good durability really stressed out 😅
I’ve had gait analysis twice in the last 14 months and both suggested stability shoes as I over pronate (I went with Hoka Arahi’s and some New Balance last year) but I get really bad arch pain when running in them. Should I try some neutral shoes?
Nice vid
NB SuperComp Trainer V2 is a amazing shoe
How do you find the shoes mentioned in this video to compare to the New Balance 1080v12? I know that was previously a top recommended shoe by you. Curious as to where it ranks after a couple years.
I think its worth mentioning that recent research has discussed the injuries from max stack height shoes due to the lack of natural resistance. I know its the current trend but theres some research suggesting the lack of resistance is causing weaknesses through the leg joints and into the hips.
Plated shoes arent for beginners, and if a shoe recommends them they are seeing pound signs rather than helping.
Ive really enjoyed the vomero 17
Asics gel-nimbus hands down. Pick up the 25 instead of 26 for a lot less money!
there is a lot of pain in my heel can you suggest me any good shoes for it?
Novablast 4 tr is great shoe to start for.
I haven't ran in the Velocity Nitro 3 (now higher stack) but I think the Puma Magnify Nitro 2 is a really good shoe especially for someone who wants cushion, and it has a wider & more stable platform. It can go short or long, easy or somewhat quicker, and on the road or gravel paths. And can be had for good deals online. Sizing is a bit long and the EU sizes aren't the same as for other brands so better to go by centimeters. Honestly in my mind much better than the Nimbus due to being significantly lighter and has way better outsole grip.
Bit more room in the magnify compared to velocity. Have a pair of deviate nitro 2 turning up, hope they are slightly wider than velocity 3 and fit more like the magnify 🤞🏻
@@sicathcart4301 I've also been looking at the deviate, so if the fit is like the magnify I will probably go for it at some point!
Kiprun KS light best shoe I ever had
Really informative video. Thanks Ben. Only criticism is I’m not sure a £200+ carbon plate shoe should be on a beginners list. Plenty of other plated shoes that are far better value IMO
❤ Puma Velocity Nitro 3 ❤
im overweight and I want to train to run for a 16k in 4 months. any recommendations?
I got the novablast 3 Trails and hated it… its too soft and I overpronate so I feel like my feet goes inwards :( looking for a new pair asap..
Man, I was looking at options to upgrade my Puma velocity nitro 2’s and my ASICS Novablast 3’s… I’m gonna look like such a fanboy
Running shoes, I highly recommend Mizuno
When i'm was a beginner runner i'm just use Power Bata shoes.
Novablast 4 or nike invincible 3
Any good race shoes for support . I got fitted last year and got put in support shoe
The shoe I got put in was mizuno wave inspire 19
n-a-a-a-a-h, I'd rather stick to the best I've ever tried out - Asics! them jus beasts, super duper durable, most responsive, comfy to every extent imaginable let alone close to invincible lol Fuji Trabuco 5 were the best ones tho running both long and routine paths within the city and somewhere off-the-beaten tracks up in the mountains!
Hoka alright if your feet are no wider than a pencil! I returned even their supposedly ‘wide’ option!!
Didn’t like the Nimbus. It felt so wiggly. Love the Mach 6 though.
Nary a Nike in sight!? :0
I never really understand when people tell others with high arches - like myself - to get a neutral running shoe. Isn’t a neutral running shoe going to have less arch support than a stable shoe? And I would like someone with high arches would need that extra support and stability? I mean I have high arches and my first pair were the arahi 4s and they were amazing. I then got Clifton 5s a year and half later and I got them bc the girl at the store said they had arch support. And let me tell you, those Clifton 5s were the WORST shoes I ever had. I was always in pain and when I wore them to work (retail job) my feet would hurt so much they I would slip my heel out and stand on the heel cuff. I did this multiple times. It wasn’t until I learned that those shoes had ZERO arches support and that I would need inserts to help that they felt okay. But at that point I had already ruined the plastic part in the heel and it was digging into my ankle. But they still never felt as good as my arahi 4s or the new arahi 6s I got. 🤷♀️ if someone can explain this that would help. Cuz I’m buying new shoes soon and I’m still getting the arahi 7s even though I technically should have a neutral shoe as someone with high arches 😂😂
I'm looking around for running shoes for around 55$ price range, I have ran 5k's a lot now and whole my life I have been playing sports, so I am not considering myself as a beginner, Nike Downshifter 13 or Adidas Duramo Speed? I know that Downshifter 13 has a bit more stability and not as much response as the Duramo Speed, so what should I do? I am considering running a bunch of 5km and 10km races and I am aiming for PR's hopefully, or give me some other recommendations, thanks.
I hated the novablasts tried them out and Clifton has been way better imo
Superblast is all you need.
Is it me or has Ben stopped replying to messages lately? He used to be quite responsive
Too many comments. Don’t take it personally.
This video is sponsored by Hoka. Where are Nike and Adidas!?
You can tell you have been a runner too long when you think £80 is a low price point.
