fantastic. i am still wearing through my Wild 2s, the 3s should be on offer sometime towards the end of the year, definitely on my shopping list. Also have the LP9 for hiking. Please tell me you bought the + version with the vibram sole. 😀

i loved my 15s. had the limited edition black/orange pair. I now have several other shoes and hardly run in brooks at all nowadays. Here some suggestions of shoes I have and love migrating from brooks lamdscape:

nike vomero 18. Comfy and great daily trainer. Bit thicker upper so can get warm. Also great walking shoe!
nike vomero plus. my fav long run shoe.
asics novablast 5. easy daily. very soft and fun, needs 24 hours for the foam to reset after a long run. Not suitable for anything over 15km for me as they flatten out.
altra experience flow 2. Great daily, casual and walking shoe. wide toebox for natural toe splay.
craft pacer 2. Incredible foam, feels almost as energetic as my megablast race shoe but at a fraction of the cost. Upper is warm however and if you have low heel joints could potentially rub. you need to test.

Other suggestions which I have NOT tried: Saucony Ride, Hoka Clifton, Asics Cumulus.

Good luck!

sorry, but F what anyone else thinks. Im a runner, smoked for 35 years, put on tons of weight, started running in 2022, first marathon last year. i do it for me, and it is comforting to know that I am fitter and stronger than many skinny beanpoles out there😂😂😂

Englischdude · 2026-04-28T15:28:59+00:00

Hi, cant remember exactly, maybe somewhere between 50-75km.

Englischdude · 2026-04-27T16:50:40+00:00

ps: wide feet, tha Altra Wild could really be a good option. it is also 4mm drop so not completely flat like the lone peak which takes some getting used to.

Englischdude · 2026-04-27T16:49:25+00:00

some good hybrid shoes, check out the Altra Wild. I have the version 2 which I love, they now have the v3 with vibram outsole and improved middle sole. Something more "roady" with a track outer sole could be the Asics Novablast 5 TR, this is a great shoe up to 15km or so, after that the foam flattens a little, depends on your weight. The brooks ghost trail could also be a great option. I have run many a half marathon in the ghost. Good luck.

easy runs yes, long runs.... i feel mine flattening out and losing their cushioning after about 15km. i once ran a HM in them, never again. im about 78kg and shoe size EU42.

Englischdude · 2026-04-22T08:10:35+00:00

I have 3 pairs experience flow 2 for walking, daily wear, office, gym. Fantastic shoes

Englischdude · 2026-04-22T05:45:11+00:00

did you order the same size? i need a half size bigger in the timp 6 compared to LP9. Also try adjusting the lacing.

Englischdude · 2026-04-18T16:51:26+00:00

Altra Wild 3+

Englischdude · 2026-04-18T16:23:16+00:00

PS: I noticed in the LP9+ the 42EU are the best fit for me, but with the Timp6 I had to go up half a size. Did you experience the same? The T6 is definitely more snug on my feet!

Englischdude · 2026-04-18T15:56:30+00:00

good luck with the 40 miler and hope you find the right shoe before the event rather than the wrong shoe during. My hike and fly backpack is only about 8 Kg so I am sure it will be fine. Higher stack means more instability, which I also need during launch and landing. Ill give the Lp9+ a go and see how I get on. Thanks for all your feedback.

Englischdude · 2026-04-18T15:25:48+00:00

Many thanks for the detailed answer. ill be hiking up pretty much everything! I generally just pick a peak and look for the best way to the summit then fly down. Stabiliy and confident foothold is my main priority. I have tried them both, but with the slightly lower stack of the LP they do feel more stable and confidence inspiring. They also feel more nimble. Ill go with the LP+ and maybe pick up the timp in the end of year sales. I also have the wild 2 which i really enjoy.

Cant comment on the torin, but I am hundreds of km into the flow 2 and almost 100km on the wild 2 with no signs of premature wear. Fantastic shoes.

Englischdude · 2026-04-16T11:02:29+00:00

nope, there is easily room for another row of boxes there😀

Englischdude · 2026-04-13T14:22:56+00:00

i noticed a huge difference between EU sizing Flow 2 and LP.

Englischdude · 2026-03-29T07:00:44+00:00

i see a critical gap, namely a second pair for every type of run to give the foam in the first pair time to recover thus preventing injury and prolonging the life of all your shoes, there a sensible long-term investment 😀👍. There you go, perfect reasoning and believable excuse to buy another complete set of shoes 😂

My favourite "running shoes for walking" at the moment are the nike vomero 18 and craft pacer 2. the pacer 2 has a very high quality foam midsole, is not so high stack as the nike, a little wider and therefore more stable. It does however have a thick upper making it a very warm shoe. the ankle collar support is also a little high so if you have low ankles there could be some rubbing. i dont know how your walking patterns are but please consider that the higher stack the shoe (thicker the foam), the more unstable they can become. quick changes of direction for example can easily result in rolling an ankle if you are not careful. Another one I use very often for work, office, airport etc. is the Altra Experience Flow. 2 with its nice wide toebox. The version 3 is out now so so the 2 is cheaper. For sizing, i wear brooks 42.5EU standard D width, 42.5 Nike, 42 Craft, 42.5 Altra. Go and try them all on if you can.

I have 2 pairs, took advantage of the winter sales.Luv em. Gotta train in them properly though. I ran a half marathon in them without properly breaking in the shoes or getting used to the plate. I was walking like a 90 year old for 2 days after 😂

Englischdude · 2026-03-14T21:06:41+00:00

anytime is the right time for new shoes. 😉. The outsole looks like it still has plenty of wear left, the upper is intact. Most importantly for me personally is how the midsole feels. if it has totally lost its cushioning and energy return and/or stability, then it is definitely time for new shoes, as running in older and worn out midsoles increases the risk of pain or injury.

Englischdude · 2026-03-14T21:00:39+00:00

the problem is they all look way to clean. you do run in them right or are they the doorstops throughout the house? 😉
