There’s no shortage of great running shoes available in 2024, with most brands now having a wide range of options covering everything from recovery runs to race day. But if you could only choose shoes from the same brand what would be in your rotation?
In this podcast (also available as a video on YouTube), we discuss the main brands and select what we think make up their best three-shoe rotations.

Alert and awake I'm very alert very Alert um Lots going down I've just come Back from a very fun weekend in font Remu with the uh the Hoka Lads the Hoka Pro boys yeah just a brilliant weekend Got to train up there with with some of The training groups and had a fantastic Time they all very nice they're all very Nice to me which is which is good and I'm going to do the Paris 10K with him In November so it was great to obviously Be out there their coach is my coach I Think which is possibly why I was out There and it meant very fun to see a Loot of Elites doing the sessions I've Been doing for five years um and uh Complaining about constant steady pace And stuff like that it's great but I've Got a question on this so you were Training with the elites yes how how Were much worse for you than the elites I was in the so I obviously only had a Weekend out Aude I didn't go in at full Pace uh so the Saturday we did double Day and I did the I was working with the The female Elites so they have quite Similar times to me so um we were just Working together as a group it was they Were also Fair working fairly easy and Then I did I did the Sunday long run and I got lost along the way and then joined Up with the uh with the guys and Obviously it was pretty easy run so that Was fine but like so I think when I see
Their sessions you know if I'm thinking Of it I've only seen them at altitude When they're obviously doing slower Paces than they would at sea level but Yeah they were doing some pretty brutal 10 m two mile reps where you know if I Could cling on for one of the Reps they Did three of them if I'd done one of the Reps at sea level I think I'd have been Pretty cooked it was kind of yeah very Fast see what I was really looking Forward to when you told me about this Was loads of videos of uh loads of Really fast BLS and then you just coming In at the end like looking awful Clipping clipping them when you told me About it I was like this is going to be Great I'm going to get Lo of content I Wasn't really sure was going to happen So I turned up and I was on I was on the Coach from uh Barcelona that's nearest Airport I think and I was um and I spoke To the guys with his Italian guy very Nice guy called Matteo and I was going Oh what do you do go I'm a pro Runner Went they all going to be Pro Runners I Got there just all pro Runners I was Going okay well must be some kind of and Later a couple of um women from Germany Came who were um what kind of Influencers they weren't that fast so That was fine so that said none of them Are marathoners so I might have Technically had the fastest marathon
Time there because none of them run them So brilliant um but it was amazing like Just it just really reminded me how nice Training in a group is and how much I Wish I could form a group but it's Mainly mine the problem because I have Such um particular hours about when I Can run fitting nobody wants to join Your running Group um but no it was um it was a Brilliant trip like I say it's just it's Just a really cool place to be you know Immediately like Google at house prices Foro you know just see see how much it Is very cheap actually so fortunately Not really a place to take the kids just For for a laugh but um yeah great Weekend just I'm excited for the Paris 10K now as well the build up to Valencia And I got battery half this weekend the Bigger one to claim the sub 70 I'm owed After I lost it in that half marathon Where the course was unexpectedly short At the last turn so eight and a half Laps get back on those Loops back on Those happy Loops I think it's like Pretty much exactly 8 Minute a loop or Just slightly quicking eight minute a Loop so just that just got to grind that Into my head it's just eight of them Don't count the first 3/4 one right yeah Don't lose the really annoying thing Will be if there's someone quicker than Me and I'm not with a lead group who
Gets the bicycle shouting people out the Way cuz then you're just you're on your Own right fighting the crowds I don't Think that's very fun is it no that's What that's what me and Kieran probably Do every time we yeah but it's just a Half marathon it's not like they have The other distances at the same time at Least but Battery Park run started last Week you see that very quietly I think That's going to be an absolute potential Disaster just with like thousands of People got 250 without telling anybody So there yeah it's going to be pretty Bit I'd be interesting happs this Weekend wa I think when run through do Events it's like 300 kind of Max isn't It no more than that run I mean in terms Of run you think they have more than That in a race run through yeah yeah Yeah definitely I when I did the um baty Half marathon there was definitely more Than that okay so I was wondering how How many you can fit on that on that Loop because if park has a thousand People there that's more than run Through half isn't it I would say it Would be on Bat C yeah although I don't Know I don't know I'd have to check I Bet I think there's a lot more than you You think on that baty one cuz like Bushy gets a thousand baty Park is Notoriously the fastest place there's Already a lot of people running there
Every Actually always do the 10 when they do The 10K and the 5K for run through they Always split it out different start Places don't they to give it a bit of But there is a lot of people there's Probably 300 in the 10K start okay so Maybe that's a bit more manageable then I in my mind like I think Shri chinmo is Only a few hundred I just thought if Baty parkon gets twice as big it's going To be Carnage it's going to be Carnage It should be interesting to see all Right Kieran what have you been up to You've uh for the first time in a while You've not got anything big on the Horizon have you I'm having having a bit Of a rest just feels Weird yeah I think last last time I was Out went and did the the five alleys up In the Lake District kind of broke my Duck racing in the hills of the Lake District and uh I for some mind in my in My mind I was sure you're doing the full One I was going what is he doing and Then then you then on your story it said Okay okay that's like 100 over 100 miles In it yeah I mean they've got it's like 180 K yeah they go out in the evening on The Friday and I have to say my you know Hats off to anyone it's UTMB style stuff You know where it's you just going to Not only have to deal with the the Distance that you're running but the
Conditions some of the descents I just Don't know how people do it on tired Legs it was hard enough I mean I was Doing them on Fresh legs our first Descent came in probably about 15K in Yeah and by the bottom of it I was like I want to go home I'm done I don't like This This got four more Valleys it's um yeah it's just it was Just very it's very wet it's very slippy Yeah unless you're good on the Downs There's No Escape for me you know I'm I'm I don't mind hacking I'm stubborn You know I can just get my head down and Grind out the ups and I overtake people And then I get to the down bit and then All of the people I've overtaken just Sort of sort of whiz past me I had this In a race a couple of weeks ago and There were these two guys that every Time we went up a hill that they would Um I'd overtake them and on the way down They'd over take me but then for like The flat for about 2k cuz it was like Single file running I couldn't get past It's just that for the whole race you Took that well yeah well it was a it Trail I don't race Trails so I don't I Don't actually care that much if it was A road race I'd probably that's what I Do that in Cross Country if I need a Break I wait for the single track and I Slow down so no one can overtake me just
To relax a bit yeah nice but the problem With like the British Hills I found when I've done any kind of short runs even on The downhills because I can't descend is Because you go so slow you get cold Right because it's yeah I mean I guess It was was weather that bad we got lucky I mean it rained for about half an hour But it's you notice it you know I Remember the kit the kit list for the Five when I first got it I was sort of Bloing into it thinking I've done Mountain races before I'll just stick a 55k I'll stick a very lightweight Ultra Vest on stick a waterproof jacket in and Off we go kitas came through and there's Like three different types of jacket you Have to take all right and I was only Like two weeks out started to panic and Then when you're up top of some of the Climbs you know you I think we went up 600 meters or so you notice how cold it Gets even when it's not raining and it Wouldn't take a lot if you were really Slowing down and that's where I think About those guys going into the 180 Cas Where you're doing potentially into a Second night and you're it's absolutely Freezing you would have been wearing six Or seven t-shirts would you kill wore All I I took 17 Layers I mean people were running around In t-shirts up there I still have I wore My jacket for the entire thing I mean
Absolute minimum jacket yeah that you're Essentially the running equivalent of my Cat Taz who doesn't leave the house once It drops below uh like 13 14 degrees But it was great it was it was great it Was like um I think once I got over I Basically just fell over in a big bog And got covered in mud and I just Thought if that's how it's going to be I Just got up and found my sense of humor A bit and then just decided just to Enjoy it and it was it was beautiful and It's it's a great place to go and run And it was a very very well put together Race series I don't think I people have S say would you go and do the seven Valleys which I think is like 110 Kilometers oh big Jump Then absolutely Not those are two very big valleys to Suddenly add Yeah yeah it's it's that it's that Situation where it's almost as hard as The as the 13 valleys apparently so you Building up to a Bob Graham round or Anything no I saw where the Bob we ran Past the section where the Bob Graham Round starts just going up skidor and Someone pointed out to me and they're Like you know you've got a road and then You just basically go into an enormous Terrifying climb straight away it put me Off if any romantic idea I ever had About whether or not I was capable of Bob Graham this taught me that that
That's not for me yeah I did I'm Definitely be on the flats but there you Go yeah how about you Tom I think I've Gone well Manchester half got six weeks Until uh Valencia so myself and uh Mr Saw went up to Manchester to do the half Marathon on a wiim thanks to uh Puma Getting us some spots in that to test The uh pum Puma D Nitro Elite 3 I used To live in uh Manchester like 20 Something years ago and this is the First time I've been back since then so It's quite interesting to to head back Uh well I'm I'm gonna be going out twice Because I've got I just did the half and Now I've got the marathon in uh four Five months as well so uh it's been a Lot of time in Manchester at the moment They've changed the um the finish for The This brilliant this is a brilliant Update to the Manchester marathon where Before it would finish out by Old Trafford and they've the one thing it Was really missing was coming through The city yeah and having a bit of a Crowd and they've changed it now which Is yeah which is fantastic well it makes It a lot easier for like hotels and Stuff nobody wants to be coming way back From Old Trafford to all hotels in the Center So yeah so yeah it's really neither of You have done um matches half have you No no do it looks really quick everyone
Seems to Gotic I put it down it's like very Rarely say half marathon is like one of My favorites but it's just it you know I Always bangled about Spanish marathons So they got really wide roads which is Really nice to run you've always got Loads of space it it's it's almost flat There's a few like little Hills in it um Which actually just make it a bit more Interesting but great race really really Good um perfect weather for it as well On the day so many people were saw loads Of people came up to us and you know Said hello talked to us about the Run Tester so Uh I think Mike got more than me though So it's a bit oh really yeah he always Does do he he's likable man very likable Man so yeah all good and then uh but I Got 125 which is better than I expected So and I wasn't I was doing it at Marathon pace so I reckon I could have Done a one two three so all bods well For Valencia at the moment o come back On Valencia I thought wasn't sure if you Going to go that hard at it but yeah Going all out now yeah I don't think Well to honest I would have been I think I was just ve getting towards I'll just Go for a sub three and that'll be it Yeah but probably I'll probably still be Happy with that but I might we'll see How it goes the next six weeks still got
A lot I haven't really done as many long Runs as i' normally do so yeah see still I haven't done I I've only done one long Run so far still got loads of time and Conditions are very good UK is Unbelievably warm right now so we had Any horrible conditions yet dangerously Warm some would say But all right well um shall we jump in And just do a quick Round Up of new kits And stuff can do yeah Yeah right so uh we've got a big podcast This time so probably won't go into too Much depth with these things but Anything you've tested over the past few Weeks that you want to bring up K's got The Big E Yeah The Big E got the adios Pro 4 which I've enjoyed testing taken It for a little solo Marathon done quite A lot of all out and I like it apart From one issue and I'm not alone in the Issue it lifts your Toenails that's horrible thing to think About so towards the end of my kind of Solo Marathon test I was running a bit Ragged um I ran sort of the middle block Of it quite well at marathon pace and The last I was hanging a bit because I've done too much running recently but Yeah I felt it sort of lifting it's Almost like the narrow toe box kind of Clips the end of the toenails and my Toenails are cut nicely all of that kind Of stuff is done and I just thought is
It just me running ragged um I've seen Lots of other reviewers have mentioned They've come out with big beaten up Bruised toenails they canot get the Front of that shoe right can they the Rest of it the rest of it is a huge Improvement I think or at least you the Uppers they've they've changed the bit That the eyelet used to rub on the toe Knuckle and it used to be too tight Across that bit the back of the toes the Uppers feel really nice beyond that and For the first bunch of runs that I did Up to a certain distance or time I Didn't notice that at all the the Toenail thing but yeah deep into that And it's just made me think am I would I Ever want to put it onto racer Marathon Again I'm just not sure I think the ride Is has everything that you'll want from A carbon racer I think it's you know It's as good if not better than the Pro 3 some people might think it's Pro 3 was A little bit kind of um firmer and some People said it's harsh some people Preferred that um that firmness this is A bit softer but I I think it's really Nice I yeah that I'm going to I will at Some point go out and racing it again Tape your toes down yeah maybe cut a Hole in the end of the toe box I you Don't really want to be uh taping your Toes down to race do you it's uh Probably suggest you haven't got the
Right shoe it's maybe go half maybe go It's it's I think if you go half a size Up it might be too much but it's almost Like it just needs just couple Ms extra In the length and then it'd be fine but Ah this a shame other than that Interesting okay anything from you Nick Oh uh what I've been testing if few Watches um a new balance s trainer me And Kieran have been testing which I Actually ended up really really liking After doing a lot of marathon miles in It but it's got one of the most bizarre UK prices I've ever seen for a sh Oh Weird why is it so expensive I don't Know like I I mean it will be in sales Pretty soon I imagine because it's it's Just it's crazy expensive in the UK Normal pric in the US so I um but yeah That that's been a shoe I've enjoyed Quite a lot I've actually had a bit of a Kind of a you quite a chilled time not Been calling in too much been using some Trav sh got the meril agility Peak which You guys are very familiar with the five Yeah yeah been um jumping in that to see If it's as good as the speed goat still Prefer the speed goat so far um but Overall just having quite a chill time And using a lot of shoes I've Loved Throughout the year which is one of my Favorite things to do towards the end of The year and stop testing stuff and just Use especially in the marathan block
Just use lar of shoes I like because I Do think this has been the best year of Shoes since we started the Channel I'd Say wow well we'll have the awards soon So you can the awards wax lyrical about All of those when uh when we do that or We should do our little thing where we Pick off I mean there it is the morphite The king of shoes always in the Background yeah yeah yeah um after have A narration there Kieran alga holds up Mor flights Merl just assume we're always holding or Thinking about the you be right to um But I think when we do our little thing Where we pick off five faite shoes of The year it's going to be very hard this Year I think well I there will be many People on the channel uh viewers excited Because I finally have the New Balance Mo V5 I did see you post that today yeah That's Tom is obviously the king of the Mo you haven't used it yet right I have Used it I've done a I did a r today how Was it what do you think do you like it More than the ballos oh it's a chicky One it's a tricky one it's uh so the Balos foam is different than the the mob V5 foam It's clearly they're doing similar Things with it but the mo 5 is a little Bit less you know ball is ridiculously Soft and bouncy yeah um morv is a little Bit more stable which is what you need
In that level of shoe it it's basically Just from that first run a slightly Softer more comfortable more V4 the Dream for Tom which the name is not as Good more V4 just is how it should be Should have been tired of that that's it It's always Well if it gets to the mor 40 that's Quite good the mortv 40 oh Christ yeah So I'm not that was probably the shoe I Will be walking around in it's at that Point in my life still telling what at The channel anymore be telling anyone Who listens about how great it is yeah For walking around the bingo hall um Cool all right then well let's uh let's Dive into the the big podcast [Music] Right so in this episode we are going to Be talking about uh our brand rotations So I don't know anything about this Nick's been organizing this and he's Going to be taking us through all the Different brands and what shes you can Get from them so Nick do you want to Explain this what this whole video Podcast is about yes so basically the Idea is to give a rotation for each Brand so that's an easy day shoe a daily Trainer SL fast training shoe and then a Race day shoe from each brand so picking Out the best kind of three shoe rotation From each brand we're not doing every Single brand here I think we're going to
Do eight or nine in full which are the Brands we've tested enough shoes to do That with and then we've got kind of the Best of the rest category because for Brands like outdraw or even bazo not Necessarily tested enough shoes to give A full rotation so also it will just Take way too long it's already I'm Already worried about how long this is Going to take but I've basically picked The rotation of three for us so far Based on what I think you guys like and What I like and then we're going to Discuss it and see if there's anything That I've missed M and go from there Basically and it was going to be in Alphabetical order but I was doing off Top of my head and I managed to get the First three in roughly alphabetical Order and the rest are just Brands so That' be Fine okay perfect so the first one is Adidas put it that way so hope this this Explain what the situation is so we're Going to need an easy day shoe a daily Fast shoe and a race day shoe so easy Day shoe I've gone for here is the Supernova Prima a shoe that we tested This year that we like it's a upgrade on Things like the ultra boost we've seen In the past due to a better foam bit More light Gener just a good easy day shoe daily Shoe shoe only I've tested the ads
Boston 12 but I think it's clearly the Pick here it's like a a really good Value kind of super trainer and raay Shoe only K tested it but the adios Pro 4 seems to me the best option here Assuming we're not going to put the pro Evo in because I don't think that's Really a consumer shoe right so what do We think of that I think Supernova PR is Probably the one we can discuss here Because the rest cure enough to take you Through the adios Pro 4 but Supernova Premum I think is better than the rise For this one do you think I haven't Tried it yeah I think I I think for for Easy days bit of a wider platform bit More comfortable bit more cushion it Just feels a bit more forgiving the rise Maybe is a little bit firmer stiffer a Bit harsher maybe um so overall the Comfort from the Prima comes through Over the rise I maybe I mean I I didn't Mind running in the ultra boost 5 I Didn't have the 5x I think the ultra Boost five as a yeah it's not it's not An amazing shoe but yeah I think you Know for easy it would do do a job but The Prima probably wins out yeah I I Quite like the five as well I think the 5x is just hasn't got a cage hasn't it a Midfi cage so probably pretty similar And then obviously the rise could have Been the daily trainer but we've gone For the Boston as it's got the rods in
There it's a bit light a bit more Sparky There's other options like the adios Which is I think a bit too lightweight For most people to use as a daily Trainer same for the Tumi which then Leaves the adios Pro 4ers I mean a Pretty clear stand well you've also got The SL2 oh yeah Tom you're SL2 man yeah Of course the SL2 so in in some of the Comments that when we did that video Some people were saying that they much Preferred it as their daily trainer to The Boston 12 so there we go yeah that's A very good value shoe right it's very Good value I mean I I think it's £10 Normally but I bought it month and a Half ago and it was like 80 and that was Two months after release so it's Probably G going to get cheaper now so That that is a that is a really good Shoe it's probably not as cushioned as The Boston 12 so that's probably where You know your decision comes when you You picking that as a daily shoe both Good options actually that turn up in Sales a lot so I think you could if you Could go sneak to four shoes but let's Move on from Adas because I would say That's the one we have the least Discussion about because there's a lot Of shoes there but only one of us has Tested and on to aex where we've all Tested like all the shoes and then we Can have a good discussion about the
Easy do shoe I so far I've stuck in the Kayo 31 because I actually really like It I prefer it to the Nimbus I think I Enjoy the extra support you get from it I picked the super Blast 2 as the fast Trainer we have not tested the magic Speed 4 that is a problem here but I Think Super Blast 2 probably the best Allrounder daily trainer and then we Going for the metas speed Sky Paris I Think that's a pretty clear choice Kier And I have got a marathon PBS in that Shoe Tom likes it as well but yeah what What do you think to this rotation guys Yeah the only I think I think definitely SE last two definitely Sky Paris I would I'm probably going to use that for Valencia but yeah the the cushions one's The only one that you probably have got Bit of debate on I would actually go for The J 31 as well just because I don't Think there's there's much in it um and I do like that slight bit of extra Ability when you need it but um yeah I Agree with you Nick I think you've gone For the right Ones blast is definitely a good shoe Though right yeah yeah I mean that's That's I guess that's the one thing I And whenever we talk about easyday shoes It's something I sort of caveat where I I don't mind running in a shoe that's Perhaps deemed a little a little bit Stiffer or a bit firmer or whatever you
Know there's not quite so much of that Kind of pillowy cushion and I think the Nova Blast for me can cover those easy Day runs and some of the the slightly More up tempo run there's a bit of Versatility there in it I I've not run In the super Blast 2 yet Still waiting um I don't know about that One but Sky Paris I I think absolutely That one's right up there with um best Shoes of the year and so yeah I I don't I don't mind the K 31 I think just for Me prefer my preference to go for Something a bit kind of maybe lighter Than over blast or yeah I think the Number's 26 if you want a bit of cushion I think no blast could Sub in for the Super blast or the K really it's a Really good shoe definitely I I I Probably would use like that for easy Runs as well but it's um it's a great Shoe and We have tried the edge Paris I think It's very similar to the sky Paris it Just feels a bit different I prefer the Feel of the sky you might prefer the Feel of the edge in which case you know If you can test them go for it but both Amazing shoes just the sky Paris is the One that's felt the best to [Music] Me now still on alphabetical it's Brook's turn now they've released a lot Of shoes this year I think we've got two
Very strong shoes in this rotation and Then a pretty dodgy race the Hyperion Elite 4 is the race we've gone for here I think Brooks knows that it's not quite At the level of other Racing shoes out There but we're going to maybe see some Updates to it quite soon but loads of Easy those shoes here so I've got the Glycerin Max in there for now um I think That I picked that because I think some Of you guys really like it I probably Would go for the ghost Max 2 myself There but G Max in there and Hyperion Max 2 I think is a pretty clear winner As the allrounder daily trainer fast Shoe how about you guys I really love The max too like and again if you if You're thinking about the way we talk About the NOA blast I actually ran long Long way in the max um two out at Berlin So did like 30 miles in it a very very Easy Pace again so that's you know me Back in that ballp where I can I can use Those for slow and easier but I yeah I Don't know I just love the fit of it it Just feels great on the foot that shoe Um I can ghost Max 2 again quite like That but I think the glycerin Max has Come in and I don't normally pick shoes That have got that kind of big whack and Great stack but yeah I I've been I've Been really enjoying the miles in in the Glycerin Max and I think that has sort Of dragged me away from the slightly
Firmer more Rocket Ride of the of the Ghost max if I'm going to go for Something that I really get you know More kind of plush cushion comfort out How about you Tom did have you did you Go through all of the options there Kieran and I didn't talk about the uh The race Sho I feel like there's not a lot to say About it it's not yeah not my favorite But yeah we've got the one in there that I would choose out of out of their Offering so yeah I haven't I haven't Even tried the the r shoe the elite um But I would probably say glycerin Max For me in fact glycerin Max was up until The point of me getting the more V5 I Was really really warming to it as as as A really as a big competitor for the More V4 which I would took out the other Day just to see if I was actually Correct in my um previous obsession with That shoe and I think the the um gliter Max is just really solid all around shoe It's like it's a bit softer than the the Ghost Max 2 um it's just more Comfortable I think I think it's a more Fun Sho to run in and for me m MSY runs Are easy so I want something that is Just as comfortable as possible and I Don't get that as much from the ghost Max 2 so I would go for the glycerin Max On that for the daily one it's a tough One really I actually quite like the uh
Hyperion Max um two it's two isn't it Yeah yeah yeah yeah I do I do like that I took that out yesterday for a interval Session and I do think it's a solid shoe So I'd probably have hyperia Max 2 for The daily option and then yeah no idea About the race One I think the other thing about the Glycerin Max and the hyper Max they I Think they're the hands down the two Best looking Brooks shoes they Brooks in Big letters on one side though yeah well To forget who they and and actually I Saw I put the I put the glycerin 21 in Here somewhere as just a bit of a Utility someone it was mainly because I A comment someone commented on the Channel actually that it often gets Overlooked as something that again has a Bit of Versatility for the sort of lower Up to the up to that kind of not your Fastest Pace but I'll tell both the Glycerin and the ghost are really good Shoes the standard versions I think we Tend to prefer the slightly low Drop Rocker choose that Brooks and are doing I think overall I think BR glycerin Max For me the way the rocker is it's so Late in the shoe that the the drop is Like all in the last centimeter and I Find it can a bit blocky as a result of That but and the other you haven't Mentioned is the standard kind of Hyperium which is there very lightweight
No plate pretty you know simple daily Trainer that's another good lightweight Shoe but the Hyperion Max 2 I think is a Big step up on both that and the Hyperion Max one I think it's a really Good shoe for Long Long training runs in Particular [Music] Right next up we've gone on to hoker who I think have had a a Stormer of a year And released loads of shoes that I think Have gone into you know near my actual Rotation but for their rotation so the Cushion Sho is a bit tricky because I Think I've only I've always tested the Sky flow so far which I think is Basically an upgraded Clifton none of us Are big fans of the bond I believe and Then the daily you know far shoe the Kind of super trainer thing the Mac X2 Is maybe my stand out shoe of the whole Year mac6 also very good and then Ray Sho got the rocket X2 and the cellow X1 I think they're two shoes that do quite Different things well the rocket X2 is The kind of lightweight very Nimble very Far shoe and the c x is really bouncy Really fun I kind of prefer that as a Shoe so I've gone for that over the Rocket but certainly a lot we could talk About with this rotation go I I've Barely tested any of these So so again I've not been in the sky Flow but I I guess and I maybe this is
One I get called out for I see people p P thises but guess the other one is the Sky with X which oh yeah people say it's Like a fast training shoe but hok wmer Say it's like a slow training shoe I'm I Wouldn't wear it for fast I don't think It's very good for slow so you know I Think it's a bit too wild it's not There's not enough stability in it for Me I find it hard to control for want to Do those easy easy days but um max2 I Totally agree with I think that's a Cracking shoe um would happily do all my Fast training and up to kind of half Marathon racing even in it yeah I think It's racing alternative yeah yeah yeah I I mean yeah I mean I have raced in it And done and done fast times so I've not Running the cell X1 um I do like the Rocket X to though and I think the way You described it kind of speaks more to The way that the shoes that I look for In in running shoes so something a Little bit more Nimble and a bit more Yeah bit more precise but yeah I haven't Had the experience of the cx1 And then the max six is is such a good Shoe and I think I you know I think we Talked about this a lot we we tend to Not necessarily go for big I would be Very happy using the Max 6 as my easy Run Chew in a rotation like right now Actually I'm picking between the Max 6 And the sky flow a lot for easy runs and
I used the Max 6 a lot recently and I Think it's very comfortable but the Skylow is probably the one that I think Will be seen as more of an easy day shoe By people at large in general and I Think it probably is better for that Purpose but that is a great all rounder Yeah and that would sub in for the macx Too if you don't want to plate to Chu I Guess is how I put it it's funny all all The brands have got these shoes that Actually almost in that kind of bottom Chunk of your training from Easy up to a Certain Pace there's a shoe that could If you only want to buy one could do That job but the max six feels like that To me you know yeah if you don't yeah I Wouldn't use it for easy days okay but Sky flows it's B it's quite similar just A bit more cushion basically so it Probably fits the bill a bit more Clifton's probably slightly squishier But um um feels a bit lower to me a Little bit Yeah but but the Cliff's Another really good shoe again that's Yes there's a lot going on I think the r End of things c x1's a bit heavy the Rocket X2 maybe is a bit too kind of Direct and firm for marathons for some People but yeah a couple of really good [Music] Shoes and then Nike I've got next we're We're completely out of the Realms of Alphabetical now because Nike next so
Nike we've Got another brand that we don't Necessarily get to test everything with And certainly not all of us get to test It but but I think easy they shoe was One from last year that I think Kier and I both really liked which is the vomero 17 which I still think is a bit better Than Pegasus 41 but that is also a very Good shoe and then the daily Far shoe I Think the Pegasus plus is a step up on The Pegasus for that they've just Launching the Nike zoomfly 6 which Should be a plated trainer that will Hopefully be a good shoe like the Doom Fly has been a bit of a a bit of a Stinker I think in recent years it's Fair to say and I think with the new Version they're hopefully going to have A bit more actual real Zoom X foam and Stuff like that in it so we'll see how That is but for the moment Pegasus plus Is in there then you got v f Al for race Day I pick the alply I I prefer the Alply over the VAP fly probably for Marathons in particular but I think That's what the area where Nike is Strongest is fair to say is the racing Shoes where they really Excel um what do You think to this rotation guys another One I think we haven't really all done Many this is yeah another one that I Can't really the only one I can comment On is the ratio the U which I think is a
Tricky one I mean I I've always been uh I mean a massive fan of the Ally one Still bang on about that shoe all the Time Ally 3 not as mass not as big a fan Of But I actually think I prefer it to the Vaporfly three so I definitely think That the AL is the strongest one for Most people now I think if you look back At the old days of vlies nowly one maybe Two you were getting two quite different Experiences in those shoes I think now They're quite comparable and the same Sort of people are going to you know be Looking at those two shoes for the same Thing I just think halfes just got a Little bit more bounce and um propulsion And the vly for me and you destroyed the Vly in 7K was it yeah I haven't got a Good relationship the fly yeah just Completely ruined it um but I I still Prefer the AL Kier you've di test a few What your thoughts fero versus Pegasus I You know I like the Vero when we first Used it now when I put them sort of side By side I I actually had a really good Time in the Pegasus 41 it sort of what You doing it K I ran I mainly ran around like midday Heat in Italy at it and it so maybe it Was part we we we had like a Italian Romance but I um yeah I just I don't Know there's something in my head like I Think the
Vomero just feels like a little more Shoe on the foot if that makes sense It's a bit more kind of um heft to it And I I don't know there's a there's a Lightness bit of an Aras to the to the Peg there's a roominess in the toe box And more flexible uppers and all those Kind of things I I really like I just Found it again just a really easy shoe To to put on and go and run that I mean When you're on holiday like that just Sort of casual miles where I was I Didn't really know what I was G to do Some days I did some faster stuff some Days I went out and you know basically Melted in 30 degrees and had to go Really slow and it was really struggl And I just felt the the peg 41 looked After me a bit more for that um so I'm I'm very happy to run in that as my easy Day shoe and again I also think this Kind of ticks that box where I can I can Do a little bit faster it's not Particularly Punchy shoe it's quite sort Of vanilla but it it's quite U sort of Utility shoe um yeah inter thing about Nike is I think they're the probably I Was thinking about today at work Actually like their shoes are all quite Similar they're still quite sticking to Quite traditional drops and geometry Haven't got that kind of rockers design Haven't really had a big plated shoe you Know as a training shoe for a while so
There's a lot of similarities like the Vomero the Pegasus plus the Pegasus you Know they all have quite similar drops Quite similar Silhouettes so there's not That much the Invincible is one we Haven't talked about just because Invincible three were're not Particularly big fans of I'd say one and Two I think would have been straight in As the easy day shoe but I didn't like The three very much myself So yeah that's going to get comments for Sure because there's a a lot of people Love that shoe right I mean but ier the Vero and pigasus so it's it's our Podcast So yeah I can't run in the invincibles I Don't get I can't I don't quite was a Good did like the Invincible two good Job James not on this then yeah well This is It the changing of seasons can affect How you feel one in five people Experience some form of depression no Matter the time of year at the American Psychiatric association Foundation our Vision is to build a mentally healthy Nation for all visit mentally Healthy.org to learn More right next brand is it's all going To be Tom so we we can sit back here It's New Balance time so easy day shoe Is a tough one here because OB Tom's Just got the more V5 that's potential
Here the BOS is a shoe that is great fun But really expensive but very fun for Easy runs and pretty versatile 1080 have Not tested Tom has we can talk about That daily fast I put in the SC train of V3 here Kier and I just finished up Testing that I think that's a Particularly good allrounder shoe for Marathon training there pretty much Every kind of marathan training mild It's not necessarily got a lot of Express top end Pace but a great shoe For grinding out loads of miles that's a Plated shoe that is and then for the Race day we've got the Pacer 2 and the SC Elite V4 I think the SE Elite V4 is Probably the most it's a shoe that most People get on with the Pacer V2 is a bit Lower stack bit firmer I probably Slightly prefer it the elite myself but I think the SC Elite V4 is probably the One to put in Tom's got about seven Pairs he can talk about that as well go Then Tom hit us with your new balance What do you want to get what's easy day Shoe here then Tom because this is Tricky easy day shoe is a tricky one Because there's a few that crop up in The New Balance Realms I would say if You it's going to be between the um I Wouldn't put the ballos in for easy day I' put that in a daily as a daily shoe For me because I use that for a lot of My interval sessions and stuff that's
Sort of my sort of my equivalent to the Talking indor in speed range or Something like that but without a plate Um so for the easy day I would go for Definitely the more you like cushioning That shoe is really really comfortable It's it's probably my favorite easy day Shoe after one run we'll see how it goes After more but um so I'd put that down For easy day but I think that something Like the 1080 v14 is probably more Accessible for some people there's a lot Of cushioning than more V5 I think 1080 V14 might actually be better for some People like like you K and you might Prefer the 1080 v14 because it's a bit Firmer still got loads of cushioning in It but it's just a little bit more Accessible a little bit more stable so I'd go for one of those for the easy day Shoe uh for the day da shoe I would go For balos or the rebel yeah Rebel is a Brilliant shoe as well they've got a lot Of very good daily trainers I say right Now new for me it would be the ballos Just because I like there's a bit more Bounce to it in that foam but I'd be Equally happy with either and I think Some people wouldn't like the amount of Foam in the ballos with daily runs if You're going to do intervals and stuff Rebel's probably the the top option for A lot of people and it's a lot cheaper And then yeah Elite V4 the top slot for
Me I mean it's not my favorite carplate Shoe but it's definitely the best one They've got which I would you use for a Race yeah I'd say that's probably the The weakness in the rotation it's also Their R shoes have tendency to cut People's heels up Kieran don't they yeah I mean that's always been a bit of a Disappointment for me because I didn't I Didn't wasn't the best carbon ratio I Run in but I didn't mind it otherwise But again it's yeah say come home and You've got holes in the heels I couldn't Never really been able to put it back on I think I probably I should have sized Up or half sized up I think that's a Really interesting one actually with the Um SE trainer V3 or some of new balanc Is shoes actually around the sizing Terri yeah it's some problems about Finding what what fits right I think the SC uh trainer V3 is great though I'll Definitely put that in that slot I I Probably if I was going easy day as well I would have I haven't tested the the New Balance 108 v14 just yet I would Have but definitely would have picked The 13 so if the 14 is more of the same With a little bit more cushion I don't Know is it yeah did you say it's more Cushion which is why I think you'll like It yeah that that will probably kind of Definitely sort of um feed into how I Like the shoes as well so that's yeah I
Would kind of agree with those yeah Don't know about for the it's a Difficult one for the Raco because again It's one of those where everything else I think sort of felt felt good apart From the fact that it makes holes in You yeah interesting brand I think their Racing shoes are not quite as good as The other brands but definitely the Daily trainer they've got three great Shoes that have come out this year Pricing is a bit Wild on some of them Particularly the SD trainer but um good Actual performance for sure Next up we have Pummer um who have had a lot of shoes Come out this year uh I think it's been Up and down I think there's a couple of Crackers here and there's a couple I'm Not so keen on so easy day shoe I think We could probably debate this because I've got the velocity Nitro 3 in there At the moment but I think there are some More cushion shoes the magnify Nitro 2 The magmax I don't really like the Magmax I didn't put it in but Tom might Argue for that then the daily shoe I've Stuck in the deviate Nitro 3 so far Another shoe I wasn't a big fan of Plated daily trainer I think you could Actually put in the velocity Nitro 3 There if you think it's not cushion Enough for an easy day shoe I think for The race day we're all going to agree
Probably on the DVA Nitro Elite 3 uh the Fast R2 I've tested is good but I think DVA Nitro 3 is better it's cheaper it's Lighter just I think a better race shoe Tom just ran a very good half in that so We can talk about that but I guess the Easy those shoe might be a matter of Debate here if we if you've got fans of The magmax or the magnify yeah it's is a Tough one um magnif I really like the Magnify uh I think it's solid um very Stable very comfortable cushion shoe I Think the magmax has a little bit more To it it's OB got a bit more foam bit More bounce in it it feels a bit softer It's not it's I I'm not I think Mike's a Bigger fan of the magmax than me he he Talked about it being a lot of a really Versatile shoe I don't think it is I Think it's fine as an easy day shoe I Think it's solid it's a little bit too Firm for me I I like it a little bit Softer shoe such a soft Shoe Time come On yeah it's but it's a very sturdy all Round well balanced chunky shoe uh Definitely nice and accessible in fact All of the the pum shoes are accessible For easy days for for most people um I Would probably for me I'd put the magmax In because I think it's probably the Nicest ride for me out of all of all Those three the um daily shoe yeah I'll Go for p velocity Nitro 3 which is a Good one because it's so because it's so
Cheap in comparison to other shoes so That's a nice one to have in there and I I do still use that shoe quite often and I don't need to I've tested it already And the yeah P pum velocity Nitro 3 Elite deviate Nitro Elite deviate Nitro Elite 3 I when I started testing that Shoe out I wasn't very fit and I I think I used it for one or two 10ks and I I Immediately liked it it wasn't until I Did the half marathon in it the weekend That I really really understood how good That shoe is um maintaining my marathon Pace was 4 minute kilom was just so nice And easy it felt very bouncy from the Off it just feels like the Fly 2 for me Like which is exactly what they should Be going for that sort of that sort of Feel which you didn't get from the Earlier versions of that shoe so Definitely it's by far the most Superior Carbon plate shoe that they've released So far I haven't tried the um fastar 2 Um but apart from that it's it's Fantastic carplay Sho RI the out off That one as well haven't you uh no I Haven't oh okay good I haven't yeah K I'm not sure what you've tested on the Puma range this year I I don't like any Pummer shoes No I literally haven't put my foot in a Pumer shoe for for a while they they Yeah they forgot my they forgotten my Addressing some of those but um I know
You'd like the velocity so we just say That's the best one that's always good To Yeah well yeah I agree with you [Music] Guys right saky next uh brand with a lot Of very very good shoes so think there's Some debate to the easy day shoe I think We can choose here between I think the Really really cushioned hurcan 24 which Is the big very cushy shoe I really love It actually and I don't really tend to Go for such cushion shoes but I really Like that or you could go for something A bit more kind of a versatile cushion Trainer like the ride 17 another very Good shoe I think none of us are huge Fans of the Triumph 22 so that's not in The contention here daily fast seems an Absolute no-brainer here with the Endorphin speed 4 just seems to have That locked down you know as one of the Best options from any brand and then for Race day so the noran Pro 4 is obviously Come out this year a year we like a lot Uh the Elite V2 the Endorphin Elite we Haven't tested yet but it is out there Now they are still launching new colors Of the Endorphin Elite V1 which is the Other option you could look at here Which is more expensive I think faster Than the pro four but maybe a little bit Less accessible so I think it's a bit of A toss up there but I'll let you guys Decide over that and I think kieran's
Gonna tell us why the ride 17 should be Hit in Hur yeah I mean I've not I've not run in The hurricane actually but for the same Reasons I quite like the Pegasus 41 and A few of these other shoes I just think It's it's another shoe that if you don't Want something that's really big and Over cushioned it just feels a bit more It's not they're not minimal but you Know in the in the world we're in now They're kind of a bit more direct and a Bit more natural I think there you know Relies on kind of nice Rocket Ride it's Got a really easy fit uh it's just Another one of those shoes that I I find Very very sort of instantly disappear It's very easy to put it on and just go And run almost anything in it and not And forget that you're wearing it um it Delivers for me just enough cushion Without sort of feeling like it's a too Big a shoe on the foot or too heavy or Too clunky and it soaks up and off of The road and I can run slow I can run up To kind of midpac in it and uh I think It's you know it's pretty well priced as Well love love the way the uppers feel All of those things it's just it ticks Those boxes for me it could and if you Don't want to use ples that could slip In as a daily as well I think it's fair To say yeah Tom do you have a preference On easy day shoe here TR 21 I guess um
Well if we're going for the most recent Ones actually the hurricane yeah Hurricane I really like hurricane great Shoe and what about the racer what would You guys pick out of the Pro 4 and the Elite V1 I guess we haven't tested the Two tricky one I don't really like the Pro four I I I've raced in it like twice Now and I only did that for testing Purposes I've never wanted a pick up Again for any sort of race I just don't Think it has and that's coming from Somebody who's obsessed with the Pro 3 I Got all my PVS in the Pro three and I Still take the pro three out sometimes If I'm doing like a fast session and I'd Much rather wear that than the pro four I would say that for most people I think The Pro 4 is the best option of the Current generation of shoes that they've Got um because the elite is really weird Shoe to run in I think if you were a Beginner or if you're not used to comple Shoes and you put on the elite that's Going to be a very dangerous shoe to Wear I I but I would say that for me I Would definitely pick the elite as my Rao just because even though I find it a Bit uncomfortable I've still much rather Wear it than the pro four which I don't Really enjoy wearing at all yeah I I Don't feel like there's enough Difference between the four and the Speed four it's just there's not enough
Of a a difference I if I was going to Race even that I'd probably go speed Four in it for me but the yeah the elite I've done I have run long miles in that And raced in it as well and I would yeah I think it just feels more like it's a More energetic shoot I think it's a bit More harsh and I I think yeah Tom's Right there's there you know some people Might not get on with that over longer Distances I think if you're a newcomer To the marathon I can see the the pro For being less of a risk um but I don't Now now actually even sort of I think About the pro for up against shoes like The the the New Balance SC Trainer V3 I'm like actually you know the SC Trainer V3 for me if you're a first- Tim Going into run a marathon you're looking At four hours plus you know I say I rate The pro for a bit more higher than you Two I think it is a pretty far I've done Some very hard Marathon sessions in that Shoe and I was pretty impressed actually By the pickup off the foref foot I think The elite is a faster shoot though but Definitely harsher I'd agree with you on That so it's the Elite V2 is meant to be Really soft almost dangerously soft now We're talking now we're talking my Language some of the squishy you know The squish videos on that look pretty Wild so that might end up being Inaccessible in a different way um but
Yeah I think but the rest of soings Rotation daily easy some of the best Shoes on the market race shoes yeah I Think other brands maybe a little bit Ahead of them but pretty good though All right let's go on to on now this is I haven't actually put in a complete Rotation for this as yet because I think They've got a bit of a hole in the kind Of fast daily trainer era of their Rotation I think the new Cloud boom Zone Which has been leaked and well not Leaked but seems to be popping up the Website now looks very interesting as it Has the the foam from the uh Cloud boom Strike uh and no holes so probably Probably quite a good shoe none of the Pods but anyway at the top end you got The so the kind of comfortable shoes Here a lot of good shoes here I think The cloud eclipse is pretty good I like That shoe a lot uh we've got Cloud Monsters and Cloud monster hypers so we Could put the cloud Monster hyper in as A daily I I basically I'll leave you That you decide on that Kieran you like The cloud Master hyper a lot so you can Decide where we put that in the rotation And think the race issue is clearly the Cloud boom strike although none of us Have tested the standard version I've Tested the ls version which is an Amazing shoe I think it's one of my Favorite carbon shoes so I think that's
A big step up on the clouding Meco 3 for Me but yeah where where we put in the Hyper Kieran where you which category You put that in well the hyper is Another weird one it's like a it's a Sort of Skyward X situation where it's Like I think it was sort of described as Being like a Punchy super trainer and It's to me it's not that's not what it Does best I you know again I used it um During an ultra used it for sort of long Really long cushion runs you know six 78 Hours on feet and it was brilliant you Know nice roomy toe box good cushion Without feeling sort of sloppy and Sapping and I would definitely put it Into the easy but then you look at the Price and you're like okay well you know Mik do I want to pay that much for for My easy shoe and then up against some of The competition you think well there are Probably better options out there better Easy shoes that going to cost me you Know two-thirds of that price um so I Think it is a really good easy day shoe There's probably you know some people Maybe able to run faster in it but it's Probably not at the price point you want To pay for for an easy day shoe I I I Cloud monster 2 um I really like as a Shoe Cloud Eclipse I think there's too Much to choose between these two both of Those I think make good easy day shoes As well but we putting two easy we put
In the cloud eclipse and the cloud Monster hyper and then the racer what do You think Tom you've just made me Realize how far behind am on on shoes um Haven't tried loads of these ones uh Didn't um Cloud yeah I mean the main one I test is the hyper and I would put it In easy day got the cloud Surfer Actually which is the cloud Surfer next We haven't tested the cloud surf is a Lot lighter than a lot of the other Shoes so it does have a bit of a pickup Speed but it still to me feels best Cruising around as a daily trainer but Yeah if if that if if that was yeah Classing this that as a shoe that we Could have based on this generation then I would probably more likely use that as An easy day shoe than a the cloud hyper I'd definitely more like to buy it than The cloud hyper so um yeah but I haven't Tried any of the more recent ratios so I Think we're crying out for a fast Trainer basically from I think the cloud Zone might be it we'll see they I think Their carbon shoes we can get a chance To test the normal Cloud strike soon I Think as well I think they are have Vaulted themselves right up into the Kind of contention with that so that's Good to see and Cloud boom Zone whatever The cloud zone is called again looks Like a good shoe so we'll see see on [Music]
That and then uh We've on to the best of The rest category so there's a few Brands here that I don't think we've Tested enough to have to full rotations Ser you've got Muno Altra under ARA Kon Salamon so I think there's some really Good shoes from these Brands and I think We can talk about a lot of different Things here but I don't necessarily Think I could name a good rotation for Each of them so couple of I think Stalwart picks from these bres I think The Muno Neo Vista is an amazing daily Shoe or even easy shoe I think that's Right up there was one of my favorite New shoes of the year so that's I think Going in this best of the rest rotation Corre I've got the I've got the good I've got the Salamon slab fantasm 2 as The racer here I think that's a really Good race it's a bit overpriced I think It's a really it does a bit of a 2 feel To it it's like lower well not not it's Not lower stack but it feels a bit more Direct than some of the shoes really Good shoe that easy day shoe I've not Got anything in here I mean the Under Armor infinite Elite is not bad kippen Have got quite a good kd900 but I Haven't picked an easy day shoe here yet So I thought I'd leave that to you guys To and also to choose obviously the Other categories if you disagree with my Picks what what's what we choosing here
Choose all of them you went so quickly Through all that well I haven't picked An easy day shoe so pick one from those Brands and then you can debate my other Picks uh I've not tested a mauno easy Day shoe for a long time so the only one I have from reference of is the Neo Vista which I would use for easy days I Use it for most most of my runs it's a Fantastic all round shoe uh what the Other ones you had there alra Ford Experience that's quite a good shoe yeah Tried that not bad kiun he's actually Salamon oh with the arrow Glide from Salamon not a bad shoe yeah there's Another shoe called the there's one it's Called Hyo impact which is a more Sustainable shoe which I think is a Pretty good nice soft easy day shoe got A slipper likee feel um nice amount of Cushioning can can go up the gears a bit As well that's potentially interesting If you're yeah but it's more I would put Put it a bit more into the sort of Casual use shoe what about the Condor I've only used that once that's not ter That's a fairly okay easy day shoe Actually the Condor toos that's one of The yeah in terms of a bigger cushioned Softer yeah eco friendly shoe actually That one does drop in as a yeah it was The first time you put one on the Thought actually the Hyo and the Condor Both shoes that before you put on um
Sort of eco-friendly shoes and they felt Like bricks you know they're very firm Very hard even for me and those two buck That trend for sure that's the vager Vager you say vager is that right I Think it's vea vea okay can't be Vea be walking around I think it's I Think it is it's yeah I think it's Yeah yeah uh and then races from other Brands what do you think to this you Haven't tested Salomon I know but you Have tested some others uh M Muno I love The Rebellion Pro two yeah I it's a very Good shoe but it's a shoe that I think Even you as someone who loves it so you Don't necessarily want to race in it That I would I would r i i I've Ed it I Mean it's just a bit of risky sh I've Used it for half marathon I liked it it Was fun it felt fast in it but I don't Think I'd use it for a marathon it's a Bit too awkward as a shoe for that so I I don't yeah maybe they haven't got a What have they got another carbon plate Shoe they've got the flash which is a Training shoe but um but I mean it's It's a good shoe it's one that P in Sales quite a lot as well it's just um It's a pretty wild ride and It's harder one to recommend because it Is so wild yeah let's go so Vonda three M Vista and Salomon I guess racer it's Quite a nice little rot we could done a Sustainable rotation although not a lot
Of sustainable carbon shoes I guess no It's one Gap that is one definely get um But chucking the single use Pro Evo One yeah perfect yeah let's go for that That's our that's our sustainable racing Shoe because you can't buy it so Actually never put never put into Production um that is all I've got boys That's long enough I think I think That'll do us I think that'll do us yeah Yeah yeah good good work um it's good it Didn't just generate into like the uh The Carnage of the picking the best shoe Categories I thought he might end up There where um well it's good that Mike Was busy tonight cuz this would got on Another 20 I yeah that's true yeah Another person's opinions we' have had Would' have been hitting the hour mark But it's a fun discussion please dive in Below and then the last thing I was Going to finish with if you had to stick With one brand what brand would you pick Oh if you had to pick one of the Rotations only yes oh well you want to Start that now I want I want it right Now uh it's a tricky one because it's Like i' go for New Balance apart from The Rao so I can't have New Balance it's Probably going to be uh oh Christ yeah I Think it's going to there's some real Real frantic faces here and I haven't Tried enough of Hus to know it it's probably GNA have to
Be S for me not aex oh I'm going aex It's a big shout I'm going aex what's Easy dayue we had for Aex you're right aex Aex I this is trick for me because I for All training shoes I would pick the Hoger shoes like as my first choice even If it wasn't you know this thing but the Racing shoe I obviously pick the aex and It's the thing probably I care about the Most isn't it timately yeah if you do if You're a runner that doesn't race then I Get rocket out again just in case it's Sh underrated yeah I think I think aex Probably just about leaves the way just Cuz we're all quite led by The Rao here Which is um maybe not the best well I Just want the super blast super blast Obviously is amazing um yes it's aex or Know the macx 2 is so convincing just Because it's so fun to do so many miles In but yeah the Met speed scy Paris is It's funny because they've all got G They've all got gaps haven't they when You look at them there's not one that You go actually that's got everything's Nailed there well that's the best Everything it's um s were nailed I think For Tom a year ago and everything pretty Much um and then obviously Nike have Always had I think slightly dodgy Training shoes but great Racing shoes I Don't know I think R are more of a pass Yeah I think I'll probably I'll probably
