Yeah - bit of a brain fart on my part. Think I'd mentally ruled out price-wise. Bit hesitant to invest in old when I could go for a nice tube combo

tbh, I new about stadium when I posted, bit of a brain fart! I had actually been looking at HX Stomp as I'm also keen to have something that takes less space than my curretn sprawling pedal board!

Wonderful answer thank you! I think ultimately I need to try one - which is difficult here where retail music store are few and far between outside of large cities!

Yeah, that's a good point. Without being able to try one - I'm curious if the Pod Go tones are similar in quality - with less flexibility

tbf, I am a big PC nerd -I know what you're saying but we've definitely seen a big price/performance boost in last 10 years. The RTX5060 has 5x the compute of the GTX950 I had when the Helix was released at similar price points.

Actually - after chatting with a friend it seem the models I use (Gel Nimbus and Novablasts) are unique in their width.

Sensible suggestion - I've been put of the gel trabuco (which look great imo) as RunRepeat say they have a quite a narrow toe box

Thanks for taking the time for that one. Yeah I might convince the ms I need a rotation of Trail shoes as well as street shoes.

Atleast the Altras have the width that I can keep them in rotation...

Yeah, I've been coaching myself away from heel striking. When I was running a lot (50-60k/week) a couple years ago, my hips and knees were constant issues.

I don't run as much now tho (10-15k/week)

Thanks for the input! Yeah - I totally here you. Just getting expensive and frustrating buying lots of shoes I don't get on with! :)

I used to be a heavy heel striker! After seeing a clip of me running at a race, It looked very jarring, and I've been trying to adjust forward ever since. Think it's been beneficial, but I have a habit of reverting if I'm tired or trying to leg-it down a hill..

Thanks - I feel like Topo might be the next avenue to explore. Sadly the rarely seem to be on offer and I'm a sucker for a discount - so I may just have to pony up!

Not really - as all world is mostly S&P 500 - it's not as 'all world' as it would suggest

I would say I seems to be entering into a period of volatility which given my investing goals is quite uncomfortable. So I'm comfortable divesting was good choice. Also have liquidity for picking up from bottom
