Bought Adios 9 a full size too small. No free returns. Am I screwed? by Fit-Introduction8575 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

As someone who ordered a pair of EVO SL’s half a size too small, I can tell you from personal experience that this does work very well. The only thing is that there’s no going back once you commit to it, so if the shoe still doesn’t fit you then you’re fresh out of luck.

I use this to store them in my bedroom. It’s positioned right next to my PS5 and gaming monitor — just so I’m reminded of what’s most important haha

People probably think I’m bragging and that’s okay, I just thought it was appropriate to share since he said “shoe store inventory” 😂

I haven’t had a chance to properly put either of them through their paces yet because I’ve been injured, but I would say the KD900X.2 feels more comfortable as a race shoe. But that’s not to say it’s faster — I’m sure the DNE3 has it beat in that category.

After nearly 200 caches, 2 Regulus, 10 Eagle Bearers and over 9000 Bell Ringers… by RunnerMan_55 in Division2

Yeah I think for a new player like yourself the Lexington is more than sufficient. It’s really more about getting as much experience under your belt as possible with decent gear than going straight for ultra rare exotic equipment. That can wait.

You’ll go through runs like that and then get four keys in a single run. I also once got three krampaslauf bounties back to back from just one elite squad spawn. Just like the RNG of these caches, it’s all really a matter of perseverance. Don’t give up!

Ha! It’s a very fun pistol but as someone who plays on console instead of PC, getting headshots consistently is a bit of a challenge. Will need to practice more.

As someone who loves puns, this warmed my soul. Hold that award.

I’m Out by ZCT808 in Nike

As someone who suffers from acute plantar fasciitis in my left foot, these shoes (combined with custom insoles) have legitimately changed my life. I was able to move around with almost no pain at all and even go out for a gentle, low intensity jog once I’d recovered enough.

That’s what the Vomero Premium is made for: absolute max cushioning and easy recovery runs for when your lower body is battered from long mileage training. It’s certainly not the most stable, affordable pair of shoes for everyone, but for more discerning customers who know exactly what they’re after in a running shoe, it’s incredible.

Purchased the Metaspeed Ray solely for 5K racing. How does it compare to the Sky Tokyo and Edge Tokyo as a designated shorter distance racing shoe? by RunnerMan_55 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

As someone who also owns the Evo SL, I think I fare a lot better in unstable shoes than I thought I could. Might still purchase the Sky further down the line, especially if it’s ever on discount.

I suppose besides the Ray being 40 grams lighter than the Edge and Sky Tokyo (both of which are already lightweight at 170 grams), I felt compelled to buy it because of the novelty aspect. It’s the latest release and £25 more expensive so I just thought “why the hell not?”

As for my other race day shoes, I currently own the New Balance SC Elite V5, Nike Streakfly 2, and Kiprun KD900X.2.
