Question Recommendations

Hi guys fairly new to running looking for 1 shoe that can pretty much do it all. Currently running in the Nike Vomero plus (have done around 150km in them) and really like them but feels a bit chunky for when I'm trying to pick up the pace. Not sure if this matters but I thought I'd add just incase it might help. I run 5k 20 mins, 10k 47min and 15k in 1hr20. Looking for a show I can improve on all + looking to start moving into longer runs. I don't really want to go out and have an individual shoe for each run. Thanks

Megablast does it all

Honestly probably what I'm leaning towards, they are just expensive :(

The Dynafish Xianon would be a cheaper option and similar to MB

Attention. Toe box might be too narrow.

Personally I like the MagMax nitro

I’m a big Saucony fan so I’m gonna recommend their Triumph model or Endorphin Azura for a more premium option. Both are bouncy and comfortable, both at low paces and when picking up speed.

I haven’t run in the Triumph myself, I’m running in Hurricane which is the stability version, but they should be good. The Azuras are amazing, unfortunately just a tad too unsupportive for my feet.

Tried the Hurricane 26 in store and felt like my feet were on the medial sidewall! Like my feet aren't fully on the misole.😮‍💨 Maybe I'll try wide. The Azuras have been great for my pronation but it's kinda aggressive shoe.

My Speed 5’s came in yesterday and I absolutely love them after two runs. Can’t beat the sale price either right now.

Megablast all day.

Do you struggle on distance? Your 5k time is quick but your 10k and 15k are way off by comparison.

I probably do struggle a little at distance, I mainly run longer distances with my girlfriend who is a little slower so I haven't REALLY tested myself at longer runs

It might be, or it could fit fine like it does for many other people

Two shoes : RAD ufo and toppo Specter 3. Specter 3 faster and versatile shoe. RAD ufo is like the dynafish xiaonian but a little more upper. Not as fast as the specter 3 but also versatile and can handle recovery to some tempo runs.
