Noosa Tri 14. Why, cause you give the best recommendations Seth. I was looking for a shoe that I could do long runs with marathon pace miles (without splashing out on a CFP shoe). And the Noosa does the job excellently. Light and responsive, but enough cushion to go the distance.
Bingo Brett
Easily my favorite shoe. I’d buy more but can only find 2 colors available. Capable of anything
COMMENT OF THE DAY!!!
I just hate the new design, the 13’s looked great, not a fan of the 14’s
COMMENT OF THE DAY!!!
QD: Although I always ran, I never had any instructions and used to get whatever shoes the salesman pointed me at the stores that wasn’t too expensive and felt “comfortable” (walking..!!).
I had an Adidas Ultraboost X for 2 years which I truly loved coz it allowed me back into running after a fasciitis.
I was for the first time focusing on running, training with an instructor, researching online and had 3 weeks left for my first half marathon when my Ultraboost kind of bursted 😂
I felt extremely insecure to get a completely new shoe right before my first 21k and being very inexperienced with different shoes…
I ended up choosing the Asics Noosa Tri 13. I had done a huge online reviews marathon so I was as informed as possible when I hit the stores and the Noosa was the best available option, also reasonable price and it was an aaawe experience trying it. Now I’m back here online researching coz I need new shoes (and this time I’m gonna try to buy 2 for different training days)
Let's GOOOOOO! Time to enter THE MATRIX!
QOD: The last running shoe I purchased was a pair of ASICS Fuji LITE 2s. I've used bottom of the line Solomon shoes in the past and could feel my legs give out on longer runs consistently due to lack of cushioning in the midsole. I wanted to try the Fuji LITE 2s for the cushioning and added spring they provide. It also helped that I found them online from a guy in my area for $70 unused. Needless to say they've entirely changed my perspective on what a trail running shoe can be and I'm excited to spend some amazing time on the trail knowing that I can trust the shoes on my feet. Your review helped me find the perfect shoe for what type of runs I love doing!
ASICS Glideride 3: this shoe was extremely well-reviewed online and I wanted a shoe that would do lots of long, easy miles. It’s one of my favorite shoes ever!!!
QD: The Nike ZoomFly 5 was the most recent shoe I purchased. Despite it being a very polarizing shoe between people who like and don’t like it over the history of the shoe, I’ve always felt that it was a great shoe for hitting workouts in regardless of the weight. There’s something magical about crushing most of your speed/tempo/threshold runs for a cycle in a heavier shoe and then slipping on the VaporFly for race day. Seth, I know you put a lot of “weight” into your reviews around weight, but weight always has its time and place, and I feel we’ve been spoiled with all the great shoes out there. As many fun and light shoes there are to run in out there, unless it’s my race day shoe, I’m probably not putting a lot of focus in on weight. I care more about comfort, lockdown, and ride. Keep up the awesome work! Your matrix videos are some of my favorites you do.
QOD: Escalante 3… continuing my transition to zero drop shoes and wider toe boxes. Love the feeling of my toes being able to splay and I feel like all my energy is pushing me forward in zero drop.
Zero!
I ran in the Pearl Izumi's and loved them. After a jones fracture in 2017 I never felt comfortable in shoes. Tried asics gel cumulus, altra escalante, skechers forza and others and had terrible foot pain on any run over 45 minutes. I started watching your channel (and other running shoe channels) and discovered Hoka. I thought their meta-rocker sounded similar to the pearl izumi rocker geometry. I went with the clifton edges for a wider base (hoping it would help my foot pain) and low and behold, it did. For the first time in 5 years I could run naturally without foot pain. For 5 years I hated running because of the amount of time I'd need to ice my foot and never really feeling comfortable. Now I'm back. Running without pain was such an addiction, I found myself running nearly every day and getting back in the groove. I picked up a pair of standard clifton's and they've been a great addition as well.
QD: Needed a new daily trainer so I picked up the Hoka Mach 5. Been primarily running in Hokas for the last several years and for easy and mid-effort miles I find them hard to beat
In this giant forest of running shoes, I really appreciate your matrix videos. I can't think of anyone else that is using that wonderful format.
GIANT FOREST, GIANT!!! Good to see you in the comments Ray.
Yeah..nobody else They all blab about how this "one shoe "or " brand "is the best. I like all different shoes for road, shoes for trails, shoes for track, shoes for the gym, casual walking shoes etc. variety is the spice of life!
Virtue signaling.
I realize I'm not going to be an elite runner. And I don't have time or the skillset to help build the running community around here. So, I buy running shoes from my local shop. Helps them fund events and sponsor runners with potential to be elite. If I get to wear awesome shoes while supporting an awesome community, I'm down for that.
I love supporting brick and mortar independent running stores. I have a favorite in San Diego where we visit a lot. I live in the Rockies so the only store in our valley is primarily hiking and trail oriented.
Good info!! Thank you
Been waiting for this one :)
I hope it helped. Onward
Super helpful, thanks Seth!
The main reason why I bought the Saucony Tempus was because I needed a more of an uptempo day shoe that still gave me support where I need it. I love how it is light for a stability shoe, fun to push the pace in, and still keeps me locked in. I watched your full review on this shoe and that’s what made me go out and purchase it.
COMMENT OF THE DAY!!!
Me too. I'm just increasing my mileage and tempus is keeping my legs fresh after every run
QoD: Many reasons. I bought the novablast 2 late June this year because I had never even run in an asics shoe before so I wanted to try out the additional cushioning because before I was in the mach 4. I also bought it because I needed the arch support and I already thought it looked cool
QOD: altra vanish tempo- had went through 6 or 7 pairs of mach 4s and they seemed to only last 300 instead of 450 towards the last couple pairs. Heard zero drop could alleviate some hip/back pain and the tempo seemed to fix everything you didn’t like in the vanish carbon review. Went out on a limb. Absolutely love them.
OMG THE MATRIX!
Let’s gooooooooo
QD: I bought the Nike streakfly. I am a high school runner who works at a shoe store. We just got some streakflys in and I needed a good shoe for grass/ track workouts, as my Vaporflys are too squishy. Praying that you heal up quickly Seth!
thank you , i like your video Road Running Shoe Matrix 2022
Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 - Been interested in trying for quite some time and caught a major deal on Amazon Prime Day. So went for it. Rotation was happy with Hoka Clifton 8, Hoka Mach 4, and ASICS Novablast…but loving the run even more with this newest addition.
QOD: I bought a Salomon Glideride and a Newton Distance 10 from the 2 for $250 sale from Running Warehouse. It was such a good deal to pass up on. I couldn’t resist. Happy with these two shoes!
Evoride and Gliderides are the sleepers for me. Man, I run with them more than my other shoes. I really enjoy the Glideride. So smooth.
QOD: I just picked up the Saucony Tempus. Reason being is that I’m a big endorphin speed fan, but I needed something as a workhorse with a touch of stability and more longevity than the speed to protect the legs daily. Then the Tempus hit the market with many of similarities to the speed, just minus the nylon plate. So far so good!👍🏻
QOD: Hoka Mach 5. Loved the 4, 5 has a new foam and comes in wide with a thinner upper. I’m sold!
QD: Last pickup was the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 24 and couldn’t be more happy with it! I tried several Hoka models in search of the perfect plush trainer, but I finally found it in the Nimbus! Loved the video but I think both the Nimbus and the Saucony Ride 15 definitely deserve a spot in the matrix (Easy/Daily). Sending prayers for your speedy recovery! Peace!
brilliant
QOD: I bought Salomon ultra glide for my first ultra.
Thanks to you, Seth, I’ve made the right decision to buy the ultra glide - the shoe is perfect!
I love the format of this matrix, Seth!
Great Great Great! Maybe you could share it with another runner you might know : )
QD: Brooks ghost 13. Bought it because i wanted to try neutral running shoes for first time. I was running in brooks Ravenna and adrenaline GTS my whole time as a runner, and after 100 miles in my first neutral shoes, I can safely say I should of made the switch YEARS ago. Completely changed my running game in a good way. Will try shoes other than brooks in the future.
QD: I purchased the Altra Lone Peak 6 after a trail run with a pair of Salomon Speed Assault. The Salomon’s toe box was to snug causing toe injuries for me. Keep up the great work Seth.
we got this, we got this.thanks for tuning in
I have a few Altra trail shoes but after your review and needing a substitute for my Asics 33 DFA for low drop calf stretching short runs I bought the Altra Rivera 2. Great choice. GREERINGS FROM LINZ/AUSTRIA!!!
QoD: Saucony Tempus for my 55 year old dad because I saw him running in gym/ lifting shoes and he said he's knees were hurting. So far he's loving them and is back to running almost daily! And shout out to your review for help to educate me on them.
Picked up the Pro3 in a white colorway. Love it so far
QD: I recently purchased the Adidas Terrex speed ultra trail. In central PA for training for a couple of weeks and have had so much fun running the trails that I wanted to get up in the more technical trails that for deeper. Stop at a outlet leaving Hershey park and for $50 I couldn’t say no! Now I’m excited to find more trails back in OK!
QD: PRICE! Stopped into a Burlington Factory Outlet and couldn’t believe my good fortune. I found a pair of adidas Adios Pro 2’s in my size for $59.99!
That's a great shoe! 👟
That’s epic!
Love these Matrix videos, keep em coming!!
Thanks, will do!
Great!!!
QD: Noosa Tri 14 because of your recommendation. I bought the NB Rebel V2 like you recommended awhile ago and I loved it.
I purchased the Saucony Endorphin Soeed 2 and Kinvara 13. Seth had highly recommended and Saucony had a sale going on. Love both so far and may wear the Speed 2 during the Chicago Marathon. Keep up the great show reviews.
Thanks for being a member Earl!!
QD: in late March on an impulse I signed up for a 3 trail run series (each about 10 miles). But I didn't have any trail running shoes. My first choice from reviews was the Speedgoat 5 but they were unavailable in my size, and I wanted to have the chance to train in them before the race. So I went with SG4s. They performed well, I especially appreciated the traction both in mud and steep rocky descents.
QD my last shoe was the Bondi. They have been my go to for a long time. Always comfortable. Last for eva! I have others for faster days but the way my last couple years have been going… the extra cushion has been key!
Thanks Seth!
I hope it helped
Picked up the Pro 3 a few days ago 😎
Dear Seth! Thank you for the great content you keep uploading! Wish you get well the soonest so you can continue those great reviews and training videos. I would suggest another Matrix for us who don't have the opportunity for multiple shoes. The One For All category or Tweener would be very helpful! Thank you again for those great vlogs!
That is a good idea! One for all or “all around”.
Endorphin Speed 2 or 3
Have you got the next version done yet Seth? Enjoying your vids.
Nike Next%2. Why: my first (and probably last) expensive shoes. A present to me, by me, to run Firenze Marathon this November!
Carbon X 2. I got them because they were one sale, and I wanted to try a carbon plated shoe. I’ve read they’re more stable than others, and your review was also fairly positive on the shoe!
2 pairs this week: VaporFly Next %2 from Running Warehouse for $150 and a pair of Mach 4s from my local shop for $90. It was a good week!!!
QD: The last show I bought was the Saucony Kinvara 13. The main reason I bought it was how it felt when I tried it on the treadmill in the shop. I was replacing my Altra Escalante Racers after over 2000 kms. I loved them, but based on your reviews I thought I would compare the Kinvara's to a new pair of Escalante Racers when I went into the shop. I wasn't expecting much because Saucony's don't usuall fit my feet but this one did. It felt great. The Kinvara 13 gave me a bit more cushion than the Escalante Racer without being mushy like the Escalante 2.5. I am a few months into them and so far, so good. Thanks for the heads up on them Seth. Without your review, I never would have tried them.
GREAT TO HEAR!
Last pair of shoes(hoka mAch 4) bought for a marathon just after schalt triathlon…. Loving them!!!
QD: Nova Blast 2, because oft the tremendous reviews from my most respected reviewers!
Maybe it's because people haven't asked for it, or it's not a common issue, but it would be nice if you'd add heavier runners and climbing/descending characteristics.
Most of my shoes (Asics/New Balance/Brooks/Saucony) handle these pretty well. But I feel like I completely wasted $140 by getting the Hoka Mach 5.
As a heavier runner, they completely bottom out on the soft Profly+ foam when running downhill and feel like I'm running on cheap shoes. Luckily they're still ok
as a short tempo shoe on level ground, but for heavier people, the Profly+ compresses to the point of feeling like they're slamming into the ground. And this is on less than 100 miles.
Tecton X": I bought it a few days ago, and I ran about 10 miles on Saturday. I should say it was one of the most comfortable trail shoes I have ever tried, I felt like I was running on the clouds. The only issue was that I rolled my ankle twice. I felt I need to be more careful when I'm out there running with these shoes.
I purchase running shoes with injury prevention in mind. I have a history of achilles/calf issues, so I run in shoes preferably with a 12mm drop (limits my choices) on easy day/recovery days I might run in a 10mm. Brooks Adrenaline/Ghost/Trace/Signal are all 12 mm. At your recommendation I pulled the trigger on a pair of Novablast! Love those trainers! Wish I could run in them more often!
QD: Puma Velocity Nitro 2 to replace v1 which I've got a lot of miles into already. For me, it's the perfect shoe for everyday running because it's durable and can go on light trails too. Next, I'll be getting the Novablast 3 as I get back into longer runs in the Australian springtime after this winter's football season wraps up.
Running in the Prime X for some time, but I wanted it to be more stable for longer runs when my form deteriorates. So when they released the Adizero Pro 3, I couldn't resist.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏼 ever grateful
I drove to Vermont to get my feet in a pair of Mach 5s. My fav shoe so far..
QD : I am a duathlete, preparing for Asia Championship. Needed a neutral shoe for all round road training but race, durable, lighter. So I searched for reviews.
I took Asics Noosa Tri 14.
Many thanks James 🙏
great video 👏👏👏 Waiting Saucony go back to brazil 😪😪
QD: picked up my second set of Speed 2s, this time at £100 instead of 155. My favourite shoe in my rotation, comfortable and very versatile.
Would love to try the 3rd version, but sometimes you got to pinch them pennies, especially when you know what you're getting!
Last pair: Altra Torin 5. My first 0 drop shoes. Just to try 0 drop and make my legs stronger. So far so good in rotation with other shoes.
I have a sales competition with my coworkers to sell 7 sauconys the fastest. I’m in second place right now with 5. First two people to get to 7 are seeded a pair of endorphin pro 3!! Should finish today 😆
The reason i bought the endorphin speed pro 2 was for everyday runs. Including tempo/long run/easy day. They did great highly recomend
QD: Bought the Saucony Endorphin Pro3 for an upcoming half marathon. I am just getting into races this is my second half marathon and wanted to start taking my shoe game more serious. Boy these did not disappoint. My feet felt great during the run and after the run.
QOD: Just picked up a pair of Vaporfly next% 2's. I bought these to PB my next marathon. I ran my fist one last December in Melbourne when I was quite new to running. I ran this in the More v3's after seeing all your epic reviews, like running on clouds!
This year we're going quicker, so warranted a faster shoe, plus Nike had certain colourways on sale. $335AUD down to $235AUD. Absolute steal! Huge PB coming October 2nd 🤲🤲
Glideride 3, purchased the first day it was available because the dual density midsole with the more flexible plate seemed exactly what I needed for my increased miles. Just took it over 100 miles this week and LOVE it!!
Nice! Would you describe it as being on the firmer side?
@@MattD86 only in the way the landing feels like effortlessly rolling forward. The upper midsole is FF Blast+ which is soft and feels amazingly comfortable.
Thanks for sharing!
Altra Escalante Racer. Minimalist shoes helped me get rid of knee injuries and I wanted something slightly cushioned to compliment my Xero HFS'
QD: I bought the Altra Escalante 3 after getting sick of foot injuries. I really needed the larger toe box! I never realized how much my Sauconys were just squishing my toes together until in got out of them.
QD: GlideRide3. I dealt with some Achilles Tendonitis the last time I was training for a marathon in 2019, wanted a shoe that would help prevent that. Liked, but didn’t love V1. V3 got great reviews, from you and others, and seemed like a no brained. It has been an awesome shoe so far!
QD: New Balance 1080v12.. recovering from another knee injury and trying to get back into running again. Slowly but surely.. a little on the softer side. Overall an easy ride. I’m in love.
QD: Bought a pair of Endorphin Speed 2 two months ago when it's on sale. Haven't use them yet, because my Speeds have only 600ish kms on them and there are still plenty of lifespan left. Speeds are my go to shoes for from M pace to threshold pace running. It's good to buy time-proofed last generation shoes when new gen comes out.
QD: I was running in low-cushion zero drop shoes (Altra) and having issues with sore achilles. Trying something different now with more drop and more cushion: the Hoka Mach 5. Liking it so far!
My last and current running shoe is the Asics Gel Kayano 27, i was young when doing my research and they advertised it was good for running on the road and trail and that sold me. I've got shin splints and many have told me that I should get extra padding for my shoes or better shoes so ive found myself here
QD: I’ve run in all types of shoes and I always chose with one thing in mind:
#1 reason is always whichever shoe I think is going to help me stay healthy. If there’s a little ache sometimes a good shoe choice can help. I take in to account how my weight feels distributed underfoot, if there are any pressure points on foot-strike, any issues with the upper (like when you need a bandaid for the Achilles 🚨), and lastly I use a little bit of runners intuition. 🤓
I bought novoblast 2 for a recovery style run after I did the great north half marathon in the saucony endorphin pro. Needed something soft to do longer runs toward marathon. Novoblast cos it was in offer!!!
QD: Next% 2 for the Philadelphia Marathon, of course! Aiming for a big PR on my second marathon 😎
Good luck!
Noosa tri 14 last week for £94 on amazon down from £125 covers everything. Later that day I picked up the endorphin speed 2. I couldn’t resist I had to grab some before they get more beefy!
QOD Last shoes I bought were the Adidas Adizero Boston 10. Love my mile reacts for my cross country training but decided to try something new for this new upcoming season. Im chasing goals and a new pair of shoes can always make me feel confident when running. Bought them at an outlet store for $70 (who a steal) and have been using them for my long runs. Love the shoe and its sad that even only running my long runs in them they already have around 280km in them so in about a month and a half of two might have to buy a new pair, because they are just that good 😁
Last shoe was the Altra Escalante 3, mainly to strengthen my legs and to possibly see if it helped some issues that were arising. First day I out the box they came with me to the track and I've loved em ever since.
My last shoe was a fresh pair of Nike Dragonfly spikes. I raced in my 1st pair of them at Boston U in the IC4A 4x8 and, since I tend to race a bit aggressive, the upper got absolutely sliced before the first 400. Still held out to get me to a 1:53.17 relay split, but not enough for me to race in em again.
QOD: invincible 1 for $114 because I’m a budget guy. I RARELY get a duplicate pair because there are so many shoes in this world to run in but with 300 miles into pair one and halfway through a Chicago marathon training block, I had to protect the legs. Love the reviews, love the matrix. When Noosa goes on sale next year, drop a link below and I’ll go to Running Warehouse to swoop it up - right there right there right there
QD: I bought the Endorphin Pro 3 because I needed a racing shoe for my upcoming races and I trust your reviews!
HOKA Mach 5 and new balance sc pacer both for daily training. Sc pacer bit of an odd daily, but my foot was broken in two bones and I have to run in a plated medium stack shoe now.
Skechers Razor Excess: great deal, interested in Skechers redemption attempt, pretty decent reviews from my favorite channels (your channel, BITR, Heller, FOD, and Jamison Michael.)
My last two pair were gifted to me by my wife. Running shoes are a nice gift to receive, I have a lot of fun time wearing them. Last pair she gifted me are Speed 2.
My very supportive husband buys me the shoes in which I will run Boston every year now. The past 2 yrs is was the Endo Speed, but he just bought me the ASICS Edge+. Super nice gift-hurrah for your wife!
I just bought the Glideride 3 because of the great online reviews - it doesn't disappoint. I also picked up a pair of Nike Zoomx Invincibles for 50% off at Dicks - couldn't pass up a great deal
Saucony Endorphin Pro 3… I realized I could buy it in the store before it was released so I couldn’t resist. Plus it felt amazing!!
butter butter
QD: Adidas Adizero Boston 11 was my last purchased running shoe. I have been using the Adios 4 to 6 and wanted to try the Boston, now that is quite different from the Adios line. So far I'm loving the Boston 11 and is is pretty stable besides the super high stack middlesole and my overpronation. The stability and not getting tired doing long runs using it is what amazed me. The Adios is still a " faster shoe". Got to try next from Adidas the Adios 7.
Good day for everyone .
The last shoe i bought is the new balance fresh foam 880v12. Love it for my daily training.
A super deal for the money. Dual layer fresh foamX and Fuelcell. Its a sleeper shoe for sure. 😁
QD: Alphafly 2 Proto. I bought for the hype. I had a terrible experience with sizing in the alphafly 1 so went half a size down with the 2 and it feels a lot better. I thought I was going to regret it but after 30 miles, I think its going to be my race day shoe.
QD: Hoka Mach 5! Loved the Mach 4, thought about buying a new pair since they’re on sale but watched your comparison video and decided I need to at least try the Mach 5 on. The minute I put it on my foot I knew it was worth the extra $$
Bingo David!
I got the Endorphin pro 3 a few days before it got officially released. I work at a running store so we ended up getting them early so I bought them for 50% off! I can't wait to race in these shoes.
Brilliant. Brilliant. Can't wait to train in this shoe again.
Vaporfly Next%2, yet to log first mile but the amazing step in left me smiling. On sale for $149! Couldn't pass up.
QD: Last shoe: brooks defyance 12. The lock down was good, middle ground firmness, tongue is soft. Typically a hoka fan but took the store recommendation. I’m also on deployment in Germany so my shoe options were a bit more limited.
100+ miles on them feeling really good.
QOD: I have last year's Asics Evoride 2 and Skechers Razor excess. Both are lighter and mild rocker. Using them for easy and tempo days. The Asics Glideride 2 did not work well for my Creaking knees (OA), after the 3rd incidence of very pained knees, gave up on them. I am now coming back from 3 months of rest, and 2 months of recovery (swimming and cycling), hoping to just finish off a 10km run event in early October, and a 21km in mid November. Wishing you a stronger recovery.
QD: My last running shoe purchase was the ASICS Edge+. I needed a better alternative from the Endo Speeds I’ve been using for marathons. It’s the first CP shoe that felt right for my biomechanics, gait and cadence. I tried the Sky+ as well but believe I picked the right one for me. I hope it will turn out to be marathon worthy for me. First race I’ll test it will be the CIM Relay on which I’ll be doing the longer (1st) half, which is about 13.6 I believe. Now I’m also curious about the Endo Pro3 which seems to be quite improved and might be more appropriate for my April marathon. TBD….
QD: I bought 5 pairs of Endorphin speed 2 on sale. I ran 600km in my current shoes ES2 so I had no daubt this was the one for me. I use 2 pair at a time swiching them up for all types of runs except for recovery runs (NB More V3) and race day (Vaporfly NEXT % 2)👍
The release of a NEW shoe prompts my buying habits.. for example i couldn’t resist the Speed 2 - due to EVERYONE loving it…. When the 3 came out. Reason? - heavy discounts when a version releases 🔥✅
I got a new shoe because I constantly search for comfortable shoes. Went with the Brooks Levitate. It’s amazing and I’ve never been a Brooks guy. 😅
