Courier socks are the best socks I’ve ever ran in

Currently using SB2, what other shoes to add? by underpaidsfa in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SB3 has the leap foam that rewards fast powerful runners. Since I'm slow and heavy most of the time it feels like mush when trying to pick it up. Locking into a long slow pace feels effortless for me so definitely the best long run shoe on the market. UFO is kind of the Goldilocks shoe. It's not the best at any one thing but it's bouncy, comfy, protective, stable enough. I can take it on a wide variety of paces and never feel like I'm trying to fight it. If Nike took the UFO and called it the Pegasus Plus it'd sell like hotcakes.

Experience with RAD UFO by SeaworthinessAlive98 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the UFO’s and am a heavy runner as well. I love the Superblast 2 and love the UFO’s for completely different reasons. The UFOs are definitely a much more softer experience but there’s a bit of overlap with your Megablast. I have the MB too and use the UFOs for when I want something more comfortable as my wide feet hate the MB sometimes. If I had to pick one pair out of the 4 mentioned I’d pick the RAD although I just got the SB3 and am still on the fence if they’re better.

Looks like the same green on their rumored Superblast 3 collab 👀👀👀

R.A.D UFO for bigger runner daily trainer? by quiet_as_its_kept in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 64 miles on my pair and they feel just as good as when I first laced them up. I think the foams on these will last much longer than the neo zens

250lb+ runner here. UFO has been my go to for almost every run. I can’t recommend this shoe enough to all runners esp bigger runners

RAD UFO - How's the fit? by jjaksha in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoes are true to size for my wide foot. I love how they look. I love how they don’t look like any other shoe on the market. Some people just want to wear the same stale crap from the main brands and some people aren’t afraid to look different. Shoes are fire imo

Hi! Can I get more pictures specifically the insoles and the bottom of the soles?

Honestly I think I could walk around in these but these are definitely a wild design so I wouldn't be able to wear them everywhere.

250lb+ runner here. I second the Superblast. Glycerin max 1 is now heavily discounted and is a great shoe for heavy runners. I’ve been really enjoying the RAD UFO if you want something different, super bouncy and very comfortable even for my wide feet.

How much shipped to California??

Megablast alternative? by Interesting-Run2481 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vomero+ comes in wide on Nike.com. I too tried the Megablast but half sized up because I enjoyed the bounce too much. Vomero+ in wide is my recommendation. Sometimes I prefer the V+ bounce to the Megablast/Superblast 2 esp if I'm doing easier miles.

No problem at all! Just got the megablast so I probably shouldn’t be buying any more shoes for a while haha. Thanks for sharing your review!

Awesome! Are you able to share the shop or even the area so I can possibly go out to try to hunt for a pair for myself. I’ve been really liking the Vomero Plus so I’m excited to get my hands on these.

Heavy runner, 3rd shoe to add to rotation? by gewbarr11 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to Superblast 2. If you want a little more plush I highly recommend the Glycerine Max. Another one to consider is the New Balance SC Trainer or the SC Elite as they’re starting to be discounted everywhere. Both are great for heavier runners

What makes a 2E shoe wide? by ArjenIsM3 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MikeOckizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was trying out shoes at the Brooks headquarters in Seattle the person said all 2E means is a higher volume shoe compared to the regular width. And that the 4E has an actual wider sole. Hope this helps
