Been running for a while, here's a list and thoughts on my former and current kicks
1st: Nike 5.0 - first shoe purchased for running. Bought it cause it looked good, i just run casually back then. (gave it to my father)
2nd: Saucony Triumph ISO 2 - Bought these coz i have proven that i can run longer, its ultra plush but is stiff and too heavy for long runs. I've used it well for regular and recovery runs. Sold it to the driver at our office last month
3rd: Nike Flyknit 4.0 - Great fit, very good balance of flexibility and snug fit, ultra lightweight and Fast. The 6mm drop is perfect. I was striking on fore to midfoot. Bought these for use in rotation with the Triumph ISO, but i used these(free 4.0) too often. I could say these are my best pair if not only for the not-at-all-bouncy EVA foam. The idea behind the shoe was to promote strength by running as if you were doing it on barefoot (or close). I've used these for fast runs and some LSDs, never had muscle sores but i think this is the one that has caused me stress fracture, I used it mostly in preparation for the June 4 Half Marathon until my tibial bones begin to crack!
4th: Saucony Kinvara 5 - Bought it a week after i had the Free 4.0, they were on sale and had good reviews. The one I've used on my first half M. Doesn't have the great fit of the Free 4.0 but is very responsive on faster runs, I can feel the rubber squeeze and absorb my weigh, but once you get slow, you'd feel the ground is getting harder/tougher. Not using these anymore, i think the EVA foam is already broken and has lost its responsiveness. It had the most mileage.
5th: New balance 1500v2 - Bought it three weeks ago on my return to training. Its got what i wanted from the Free 4.0 and Kinvara 5. Lightweight, great fit, 6mm drop, responsive EVA. This is the best ive had so far, I just don't know how long the responsiveness of the EVA will last. I intend to use it on October race
Now Eyeing on Adidas boosts models, Adidas ditched the traditional EVA and developed the boost foam . They claimed the boost will retain its responsiveness despite the long use and changes in temperature. Really great.
Dapat talaga yung Adios model nila ang bibilin ko, kaso antagal lumabas.
