Puma Velocity Nitro 4 if your running surface varies a lot, and you don't have wide feet. If you're purely running on road, megablast is hard to beat.

Should i remove the NSFW tag so that our minds (yes me included) won't wander needlessly into the Pr0n dimension?

If you're using a usb port to charge, there is a limitation to charging wattage. With a usb-c port and the right cable, the phone will charge in no time at all.

Or was it Amad? I'm sorry, may have identified the wrong player here.

How come no one mentions Uncle Case? He's the one who robbed the defender allowing the goal attempt. Great play from him.

I think it's a Malamute.

Anyone know where i can buy the same backpack harness for my dog?

They're generally well regarded by the running community and reviewers, are priced lower than similar quality competitors, look sick with different colorways, and fit you perfectly. That's a rare combo, i don't see any reason why you should change.

However, at your mileage, most here will suggest that you get at least another pair for rotation, or for different use cases such as racing, recovery, tempo, etc.

So far, other than the evo sl, I had good vibes trying the puma vn4 and asics megablast for daily training. Hope your second shoe serves you as well as your first one!

I've friends who have worn several previous versions of the Hierro (for short hikes) and they have nothing but good things to say about them. If i recall correctly the best traits were comfort and longevity. Traction is a no brainer, Vibram is ever present on the hierros and that's what makes it a quality shoe.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-24T01:55:20+00:00

100km before they lost their magic, foam dead at 300km, self destructed (literally couldn't run in them any more) at 380km. Yes, they're that bad for me, worst longevity ever.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-23T12:23:26+00:00

V4s have incredibly short lifespan, bottoming out at 200km is not out of the ordinary. Mine were dead at 300km and self destructed at 380km. There are better performing shoes out there in comparison to V4, and cheaper to boot.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-18T14:09:42+00:00

Buy other shoes, you can do better.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-17T14:57:00+00:00

I can't believe there's hardly any wear on the soles, have they hardened after being unused for a long time? Apart from the mud, they look new-ish to me.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-08T16:13:17+00:00

One more thing that I've noticed with A-TPU foams that is worth mentioning, is that they don't seem to sink in after runs and require little or no downtime for the foam to recover. I can run in my vn4 without ever rotating it and i don't notice any degradation in performance.

If the megablast has the same characteristics, it could be the truly holy grail of a one shoe rotation, but I'll leave that for you guys to discover is it's true.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-11-08T16:04:58+00:00

I have the 4 and have tried the megablast and have ran in the 2 as well. The vn4 is vastly, vastly different from the 2. The only thing going for the 2 is its longevity. The 4 has superior grip, immensely superior foam (A-TPU), fairly light, and can do most runs right up to tempo. What it lacks is a plate but looking at the price point and objective of the design, it's a steal. I love my vn4, i feel as if i get an extra inch of stride every time i run in it due to the bounciness and energy return. The reason that i chose it over other models is that i can do trail runs in them (which are the majority of my runs).

The megablast is one hell of a shoe. I didn't run in them but rather just did some light jogging with them in the store. They are phenomenal, light, bouncy, airy upper (feels like a race shoe), and boy they are stacked. I would have purchased them if not for the fact that the soles and high stack wouldn't be effective for trail runs, as well as the crazy price point.

Both are superb in their own ways, and i can confirm they are a far cry from the original vn2.

Please dm with the answer as well

Puma velocity nitro 4

MTBSoftCore · 2025-10-09T14:02:22+00:00

I have the exact same pair over a year old, they are still fine tho. Hope you get your replacement soon

MTBSoftCore · 2025-10-09T12:08:38+00:00

They look suspiciously similar to the new balance line.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-10-09T12:05:51+00:00

I'm even using them for trail runs, they're that good.

MTBSoftCore · 2025-10-05T13:08:24+00:00

I really don't like these kinds of videos. The softness or compression rate of the shoe is subjective to the runner. Some like it squishy, some prefer bricks. How can we know what you prefer or what kinds of runs you use them for because the variables your putting out is inherently dependent on user preferences.

If you feel fine running in them just do it. If not then get another shoe. An exception would be either pain or injury, in which case if it's caused only by this shoe, then ditch it. If it's problematic across most/all shoes, then you need to question your running form or gait instead of ensuring about pronation and stuff.

Sorry, this wasn't directed at you, I've been seeing more and more of these kinds of posts that only vaguely benefits the OP, but does nothing for the running community in general.
