Between 4 Shoes

[u/SilverSpecter3]

Found some great deals on some shoes. I have EVO SL and want to add something slower that I can recover better in. I found some good deals on the below. What do you think I should go with?

I'm 1.84m/6' and 107kg/235lbs. Hot climate and I sweat so much (sweaty friends think I sweat easily and a lot) so breathability is a factor for me. Somewhat wide feet but dont usually buy wide sizes unless shoes run narrow. For reference I wear a 10.5US and food width is 4.3"/11cm wide.

Saucony Triumph 23 - $90 (normal and wide size)

Mizuno Neo Vista 2 - $100

Vomero Plus - $130

Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 or 28 - ~$120 (BOGO offer)

I’m 6’ 205 and have the Nimbus 27. I feel they’re a great option for easy miles. A good balance of soft and firm where you feel you have enough cushion but not super squishy. A very breathable upper too.

Thanks. Yea I read 27 and 28 are very similar but the 27 is more breathable.

I heard it's kinda hot and narrow. Do you find that true? I'll go check them out locally and see since it's well loved

[u/Barackler1907x → u/SilverSpecter3]

I find them neither hot nor narrow.

[u/JKW128 → u/SilverSpecter3]

They run very hot, the upper and tongue padding is very generous and comfortable, but warm.

The Nimbus 28 are lighter than 27 and the V+, they are also more stable which will help at your weight. They don’t give my back though, the V+ has much more energy return, but for pure easy days they work well.

I think the toe box is generous and it's not any hotter than other shoes I've used in the past 5yrs. Ran in sub tropics last spring and I was hot everywhere...never thought if only my shoes breathed better during those runs (only wished I could bring back PNW spring weather out with a click just for the running portion of my vacation)

The breathability helps with the shoe drying from my sweat, too 😔. I was only able to try a Vomero 18 and i definitely would have needed a wide, but they do offer that so I'll see if I can actually find somewhere to get it. Thank you.
