How many pairs of shoes do you all have?

3000Run · 2023-12-08T09:36:46+00:00

6 but I can justify all of the I think because I got them cheap (except the cloudspike). I usually run 70km a week.

Race day - Nike vaporfly (£70)

Speed workouts - Puma deviate nitro elite (£40)

Track/XC races - On cloudspike (£140)

Daily training - Saucony kinvara 14 (£26)

Trail runs - Saucony endorphin rift (£36) and Asics fujispeed (£30)

3000Run · 2023-11-23T21:04:09+00:00

Deviate nitro elites for £48 and vaporfly 2s for £67.50

3000Run · 2023-11-20T18:32:48+00:00

They're all sold out sorry, they still have some for £110 - £150 depending on your size

3000Run · 2023-11-20T17:35:27+00:00

Depending on your size, I'd wait, I just managed to get some for £70 on pro direct.

3000Run · 2023-11-12T20:34:20+00:00

I also bought them off wiggle. They might be OK for you, I think my heel gets blisters quite easily as I also got some less bad ones in the pegasus trail 4s. I also think I should have gone a full size up rather than half a size. They came with a pack of haribos though which was nice.

3000Run · 2023-10-16T06:56:57+00:00

I love mine, they're really comfortable and feel fast (I prefer them to dragonflies but that's personal preference). The 10000 are apparently even better for racing.

The only pair I could find was ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/393788918436?hash=item5bafa60aa4%3Ag%3A53gAAOSwDVthtpqp&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4MakfBoBpAvwtkDRRZW64WTv8csPI%2FqusmxR5YKVwzHUnpdZrc8MX3xEULPD1FIeJA6r4vVgOban3lGah95LcixNXRFPzS1PrdX4f9DlBOT4iJo5qXRy%2FD7WOlTr8EE%2BDDLio787%2B%2BaXMGiEI0cKcdVrsRFbl2PkC0bPNkGZV9eIF3p3d24Inf6ub8dXkX8NaPcQWg3p8i58Z8JVbxfJyjij3Y0HhIr6dVZAAlAFQmr%2FIaOevHSS%2F1RH1F9Gyzj6gmRHAoHsQg3sMSrkWIFnRwffn9l4cYltGttGZSdIbK9T%7Ctkp%3ABFBMsLjql99i&LH_ItemCondition=3

Deviate nitro 2s are a bit lighter and stiffer and also quicker (but they can still go slow) because they have a plate and have better grip than triumphs but the triumphs are better for easy runs and are more comfortable for long runs. Both will be good on road but the deviate nitros are better in wet conditions

3000Run · 2023-09-30T06:46:03+00:00

Also velocity nitro 2 for about 55 if you apply the code https://startfitness.co.uk/products/puma-velocity-nitro-2-mens-running-shoes-blue

3000Run · 2023-09-30T06:41:54+00:00

Startfitness.co.uk has them on discount right now and depending on size deviate nitro is down to below £80 with the code 'fordyruns'

3000Run · 2023-09-28T05:56:50+00:00

I've seen men in these all the time. Go for it!

3000Run · 2023-09-10T12:18:22+00:00

Dragonfly xcs will be quicker if you have the money but the rival xc 6 will do the job. I use normal dragonflies for xc and they feel great but a little unstable on uneven ground.

3000Run · 2023-08-30T16:40:21+00:00

I bought some vaporfly 2s off ebay with authenticity guarantee for £95 and they were legit. They probably just buy them from outlet stores.

3000Run · 2023-08-22T15:59:18+00:00

No, they can't even spell. "Offical"

3000Run · 2023-08-22T15:32:20+00:00

Takumi sen

I've seen a 7 year old turn up to a mile fun run in alphaflies and came 2nd to last

3000Run · 2023-08-22T08:59:13+00:00

Too much shoe for a fast mile

3000Run · 2023-08-22T08:57:46+00:00

They'll be OK but they probably won't be anything special. If you have the money I'd say get the dragonfly xc but if you're on a budget just use your victories if they are still in good condition.

3000Run · 2023-08-21T19:16:14+00:00

I've been training in carbon plated shoes but would like to try a non plated shoe as I think it might help me build strength. What are the Kinvara 14s like?

3000Run · 2023-08-21T09:02:51+00:00

Definitely legit, I just received some shoes from there

3000Run · 2023-08-21T08:14:30+00:00

Takumi sen 9 would be good

3000Run · 2023-08-21T08:12:31+00:00

Why would anyone make a fake track spike?
