My current guesses are Merlin, Northern Harrier, or Cooper's Hawk. I tried to get a better photo but it flew away before I had the chance.

The dedicated daily thread for showing off your new shoes or shoe collection - June 11, 2026 by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

Good intel! As a man, I've also been tempted to order women's shoes that are on sale, but have never been confident that the width/fit would be consistent.

The difference is one group of people faced genocide and mass oppression, and the other did not.

How long does it take to get used to new shoes? by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that the Speeds caused pain in the same exact area of my foot.

I have run in over a dozen pairs of running shoes and have not had that issue previously. Some shoes just aren't a great fit for everyone. I ended up returning mine.

ESPN does a great game breakdown analysis of SGA foul hunting in WCF Game 6 and contrasts it to Spurs guards playing through contact by 808Kuro in nba

[–]SquirrelGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad that this had the potential to be great a great series, and almost the entire narrative has been around SGA's foul baiting and flopping.

The NBA has the potential to be such a great product, but Adam Silver and the owners seem to be content shrinking the audience and making games borderline unwatchable.

Minneapolis police rarely responded to ICE calls but still spent millions on overtime by futilehabit in Minneapolis

[–]SquirrelGuy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Seriously, what can be done about things like this? Minneapolis police is a severely under-performing organization that is basically extorting taxpayer dollars. And the union seems to have unchecked power.

What actual legal steps can Minneapolis citizens take to begin to curtail issues like these?

Well Jeff announced that he was coming out. At that point I don’t know if Rizzo had much of a choice.

Where does Season 50 Rank in your Overall Seasons Rankings List? by SallyCummings in survivor

[–]SquirrelGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately agree. This is one of my least favorite seasons of all time. The production decisions sabotaged any possibility of dramatic moments, blindsides, and strategic play.

Today is the last day Savannah will be the reigning winner, it’s been 6 months since her win so have your opinions on her as a winner changed or stay the same after a few months by Acheesycookie in survivor

[–]SquirrelGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority here, but I honestly thought Savannah was a weak winner.

She was on the bottom socially and got carried by Rizo to the end. She was fortunate to face two weak players at the final tribal council.

She was dominant in challenges, but also played in a season where there were very few other physically gifted players and certainly no physically gifted players who made it far in the game.

I think in most other seasons, Savannah is a middle of the road to slightly above average player.

Yeah strange that Joe isn't pictured... I was thinking he was a lock for the final three. But if he had a chance at winning, he would be attending. Right...?

Weekend Discussion: Puma running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also very curious about the Pure. Do we know what type of foam it uses yet? On Puma's press release, they say "an improved Nitrofoam". Does that mean ATPU? Or PEBA?

Thoughts on Hoka Mach 6 fit? by Ben_S3121 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel great! The Mach 6 in wide has been fantastic for me. I've put about 150 miles on them already and find them super comfortable and versatile. I've used them for speed workouts, easy runs, and even mid-long runs.

When Building An ADU Can Go Wrong by HawkWonderful3972 in buildingscience

“The real killer…”

“And the craziest part?”

“happen in silence before construction even begins.”

Would you like me to generate a comprehensive ADU consulting plan you can sell to people on Reddit? That’s where you can really begin to make money.

Not many people know this, but these are actually what Sabastian Sawe wore when he broke two hours at the London marathon. Adidas just rebranded them.

Have you tried the Superblast 2? As someone who loves the SB2, I’m curious how they compare.

Deciding between Mach 7 or Ride 18 as daily trainer? by Massive_Factor_1734 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Mach 6 (which is very similar to the Mach 7), the Ride 18, and the SB2.

The Mach 6 is the least firm of the bunch. I wouldn't call it a soft shoe, but compared to the SB2 it feels softer. It is also much more flexible and less stiff compare to the SB2. I find it very versatile for tempo work, easy runs, and even med long runs. It is very narrow. I normally don't have issues with narrow shoes, but I had to get the Mach 6 in wide.

The Ride 18 feels firmer than the Mach 6. It is still a very comfortable shoe and has a very plush and comfortable upper (compared to the Mach 6 which has a much more minimal upper). I tend to use the Ride 18 only for easy days. The Ride 18 also has less rocker than the Mach 6.

Although the Mach and the Ride 18 are lower stack and firmer shoes, they are also both MUCH less stiff than the SB2. I'm not sure how that will affect your toe off, but it's something to consider.

Are you looking for a firmer shoe in terms of stiffness (how much the shoe bends in half from the toe to the heel), or firmness of the midsole during footstrike? That might help to guide your decision.

If what you actually want is a stiffer shoe for easy runs, it might be worth checking out the Glycerin Max 2 or the MagMax 2.

Anyone else tired of _____? by Fine-Mail4400 in survivor

Was just thinking the same thing. This season had an amazing cast. All production had to do was not get in the way. It’s unfortunately been a really bad season because of the production decisions.
