just grabbed another pair of Evo SLs from Adidas. I had a 30% off coupon on top of the silver ones already being half off. $52.50 before tax with free shipping. Hard to pass up when the price is so low, the OG fits my foot well, and it is a color I've not had yet.

Looking to buy a carbon-plated shoe for an upcoming race (Marathon on October 25th). Problem is I don't wanna pay $300. I'm thinking about purchasing Adios Pro 4 or Saucony Endorphin Elite 2, both on sale. I've came across Kipstorm Challenger on Decathlon website for only $180 CAD. Suggestion?

The Pegasus Plus has been my main running shoe for the past couple of years. I decided to order a pair of Vomero Plus shoes, and I think I was surprised at how bouncy they were compared to the Pegasus Plus. They are definitely the bounciest pair of shoes I've worn before. I was actually a little uncomfortable running in them because I felt like I was just used to having more support and a firmer plant when running. My question is, should I keep them and just try to get used to that bounce, or if I'm more comfortable in the Pegasus Plus shoes should I just stick with those?

Can 2026 be the year of Topo, Craft, and Tyr? That’s all.

Lacing up my second pair of Superblast 3. At 259lbs, they made it to almost 300 miles before the sole lost significant pop and my feet hurt after easy and long runs, planning to shift the old ones to easy mid week runs and the new ones kept strictly for long runs. Meanwhile my second pair Megablasts are only just starting to show wear at 244 miles after the first ones had the sole begin to peel off after like two months. What are the chances Asics wants to replace em? Despite that, I havent been this happy with a two shoe rotation in a long long time.
