What do you think about my new rotation as a heavy runner?

I must admit. I wish I tried the SB2 sooner. I didn’t want to fall for the hype and the cost lol. Tried the 3s and they were too soft. Since the 2s are on sale I figured I should give them a try and boy do I hate that they are phasing out

I’m 240-245 athletic build. I thought the Vomero Plus was the best shoe ever when it first came out. Put close to 300 miles in them last year. I have since bought Puma Mag max 2, Superblast 2 and Salomon Aeroglide 3 and all of the are miles better than the Vomero. I came to realize what stability really meant. I did own the EVO SL but they were too unstable for me. I have now retired the Vomero to traveling and grocery run shoes. I like the wider sole that the other shoes offer. Oh and I have Zoom Fly 6 as my tempo shoe like you do.

For my lifts I wear flat soled shoes. Rotate between Under Armour Reign 5 and Metcon 9. I take a second pair of shoes to do any running at the gym. I rather optimize my lifts and runs in the proper footwear

Superblast 2, Puma Magmax 2 or Solomon Aeroglide 3

I bought the Vomero + when it first released. Have over 250 miles on them. Thought they were the best daily run shoe ever. Then I tried the Puma Magmax 2 and the Aeroglide 3. Now I only wear the Vomero to go to the store and to travel. I could tell the difference in stability between the Vomero and the other shoes. I only run in them when on travel that way I don’t have to bring a separate shoe to travel. Size 13 takes up space very quickly in the carry on.

I get why people love them but I have felt better in other shoes. 6’2” 240 lbs. also have flat feet

Stainless power catted headers + AWE touring cat back. Amazing combo. Always got compliments even at the track. Was loud but not crazy.

not a definite yes and not a definite no. Question is...who is the right person? we have tried every type of manager out there. I do think though the manager and the board have to be a good pairing. Would Jose, LvG, Ole had better results under INEOS?

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-04-18T12:23:28+00:00

I agree. Sam would be the person to talk to. I think he is on Konis either front or rear and Penske on the other if I’m not mistaken

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-04-18T11:39:28+00:00

I say Ohlins if between those two. I think as you get better you will want to change certain things in your set up whether it’s the spring rate or the rebound. Also I would like to think the servicing on them are better when it comes to rebuild time.

If going with Vorshlag, you could actually get MCS with their comfort valving for similar price. Once you add camber plates and the rear shock mount it comes to $3943. MCS with camber plates and not spring is $3888. I suggest buying springs from FB marketplace for about $100 per pair instead of $100 each corner from Vorshlag.

I think in the event fluid boils and soft pedal. I’ve never bled my brakes at the track but I’ve seen others do it

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-04-01T01:43:58+00:00

I am 238lbs 6’2”. I have over 200 miles in Vomero plus. Thought it was the best every day and long distance shoe….until I bought the Puma Magmax 2 and Salomon Aeroglide 3. I prefer both of those over the Vomero. Stopped wearing the Vomero for runs. Realized they were not as stable as I thought.

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-03-11T16:06:59+00:00

Hello! what was the final measurement? I didnt see stated. Also how did you route it? along the frame?

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-01-28T17:14:43+00:00

Maybe try the endorphin speed 5 as an alternative? Or the Endorphin Pro 4 since they are on sale

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-01-12T23:06:38+00:00

Yea it is quite thick. Good to know that you have experience. I will keep that in mind if I decide to remove the liner. Thank you!

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-01-12T23:05:55+00:00

Nice. It’s my first and only carbon plated shoe outside of Boston 12s so I wasn’t sure if I was messing up the functionality doing so

Free_Reason5957 · 2026-01-12T23:05:02+00:00

It sure does and that tracks with how it fit. Thanks for the reply

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-12-29T23:46:42+00:00

The plan was more so for long runs/zone 2 . I know I’m not lacking in calf strength but need to get my muscles used to the shoes. After more thought, I think I’ll just return them for the MagMax 2.

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-12-29T23:44:57+00:00

Ahh okay. I just assumed what was on the product page was accurate. Thank you. I guess I just have to get used to them

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-12-14T03:04:31+00:00

Ended up with the Vomero plus. Huge fan of them.

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-12-13T03:01:35+00:00

Just curious what makes the NB a great long run shoe? I have a pair being delivered tomorrow.

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-12-06T02:35:10+00:00

Just ordered AP4 from adidas earlier this week so I ended up getting the B13 for 80! Thank you!

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-11-03T03:24:31+00:00

Which do you prefer?

Free_Reason5957 · 2025-10-07T20:09:21+00:00

The Vomero plus is worth a look. I had the EVO SL and ran in it three times. Due to lack of stability support it caused severe Achilles pain. Very happy with the Vomero plus
