One shoe that I really enjoy running in is the Adidas Adistar. It's seriously niche as it is aimed at slower, heavier runners. If you don't fit in that club, then give them a miss as they're pretty heavy. If however, you are a heavier runner who is looking to get some serious mileage in, then they are brilliant. The icing on the cake is that their challenging looks mean that they can always be found on heavy discount at online retailers. So give this shoe some love folks, especially if you carry the odd extra kilo, like myself. Your feet will thank you.😉

For me Fordy the best value , most versatile , most underrated is the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. The more I run in mine the better they get. Fantastic

Puma velocity nitro 3 or any pumas for that matter although their popularity seems to be on the rise. Still not many running in them here in the states compared to other brands, at least where I’m at.

Most unrated shoe for me ( and so many people disliked them ) is the Saucony Endorphin Shift 3.. for longer runs , I always used the Triumph. I struggled with the 20 and 21.. Hurt my feet and did not work for me.. Had avoided the Shift 3 but they were on sale so bought a pair. Absolutely loved them. Long runs, daily and can even pick up the pace.. Gone but not forgotten..

100% agreed with you on ghost max. More i run in them more i love them. Super comfortable and stable and exceptionally cushioned. And the best part is that i got them in india equal to 59 dollars or 47 pounds. Thats a steal at this price.

I would have to say Puma ForeverRun Nitro. I am a neutral runner but they work amazingly for me, a real recovery shoe, the dual foam setup makes it great for any run and just feels great.

Got the Brooks Ghost Max after watching your review and got a good deal on it. Loved them! They are a little firm, and not extremely squishy. They are light weight too, and have a nice rocker sensation. Overall I loved them a lot. Bought a pair for my wife, and she loved them too though she uses them for walking. I hope Brooks doesn't mess up this model in v2. I'll buy another pair for sure!

the Kinvara Pro is great and i bought it after watching your videos last year and it just feels so amazing even picking up the pace. Grip has also been great as well.

I have almost 800km on my ASICS Glideride 3s (my 2nd pair) and I think the best shoe to replace them with will be another pair of Glideride 3s…

I pronate and just done my first marathon in the kinvara pro’s Found them thanks to one of your videos. Thanks fordy!!

Definitely try out the Saucony Axon 3! Brilliant shoe for the price and definitely overlooked!

I just bought the Kinvara pro off of your endorsement, and they’ve been marvelous! They will be my race shoe for my half at the end of the month.

I endorse this video! The Kinvara Pro was brilliant for me during my training block for Manchester and for the race itself. I'm 6ft 5 inches, and (on a good day!!), 15 & half stone and cannot recommend these enough. if you are a similar size to me. Very comfortable and stable at the same time, plus I was able to drop the pace in them for a half marathon race too (1hr 52 mins). I've already bought another pair for the York Marathon in October

The most underrated shoe by far, Puma ForeverRun. Best Daily’s I’ve ever had, always on sale somewhere, last forever, little bit of stability, and can just about manage a few strides in them.

possibly Novablast 4, anything from Reebok too

The north face Vectiv Enduris 3, great trail shoe, perfect for road to trail as the lugs aren’t too big, sticky outsole, nice wide toe box, tpu plate and think you can get them for about £100 now. Just got my 2nd pair but my first have done about 300km and still a lot of pop and life left in them

The Saucony Axon 3. The Axons are right up there with the Puma Velocity Nitro line as daily trainers that punch way above their price point.

I used to always run in Brooks Ghost, then switched to Saucony endorphins. Was excited when Ghosts max came out, but I can’t run further than 5km in my pair without blisters on my arches. Didn’t have that problem in the ghosts 🤷🏻‍♀️

Brooks Hyperion Max is not very fashionable but great training shoe that has multiple gears. It needs a bit of breaking period however. Also, its predecessor Hyperion Tempo is down to $65 in US (while Brooks is clearing its stock) and such a lightweight and durable shoe for speed interval workouts.

Altra vanish tempo, tried that, loved it. Second run in a “zero drop” shoe. And this was just pure fun. Soft enough for daily stuff, fast enough to pick it up. Lovely comfertable wide toe box. I really don’t get this hole “drop” thing, as we are often just talking about 1cm max, which is pretty tiny. But yeah - vanish tempo. Love it.

Any plans to review the Nike journey run? Intrigued to know what the "comfi ride" is all about ...

Great video. Ghost max are a brillant shoe for me might not be everyones choice but its the same with all shoes . Covers everthing you can pick up bit of pace in them as well also ave used them at parkruns pushing the pace . Also used them on easy paceded runs ,longruns,goal paced runs, ave done the lot in this shoe. Ive used them on all sufaces concrete paths,gravel,grass,inclines,hills. All year round all weathers. Took a few runs to break them in but most shoes are like that . For me a great all rounder shoe with great cushiong as well for them longer runs .

I think the puma forever run nitro is a great but underrated shoe. For the first couple months it was popular, then never got mentioned ever again. Which is sad because its my favorite stability shoe. Which I'm still using to this day from owning it since October of last year, until my Saucony ride 17 arrives to me. Even if the second version is an upper update, I'm still going to buy it.

Asics Glideride 3. Very undervalued, but hard to get hold of!

Me also like to run in the Brooks ghost max a very good workhose that makes me a stronger runner because you're really working like the old days, now a lot of runners are using responsive shoes for all their runs but they don't improve so much because the muscles are not fully putting the work and they become a weaker runner.. so me when on raceday I put a carbon shoe it feels much easier to run fast..

From all components here my vote for : - Puma ForeverRun - Tempus .. and you can get them cheap as dirt

Everybody at my running club just goes for Saucony Speed 3s. None of them have bought the Speed 4 yet due to the high price. There's only me running in Puma Deviate Nitro 2 shoes, cant get any of them to take Puma seriously

I don my Kinvara Pros for long training runs when I feel the need for a bit more support. Comfortable and stable. The only downside for me is their traction in downpours, although I have not yet had any issues with slipping. I'm not sure I would pay $180 for a pair, but having picked them up on Day 1 for $120 due to an apparent one-day mis-pricing event, they were a "no brainer." Love 'em!

For me it’s my Floatride 5 from Reebok. Just chuck them on and off I go! In the last 2 weeks I’ve pb’d in 5km and 10km in them without really trying. Just a great shoe bought in your recommendation 👍🏻!

For me the first Novablast and Nimbus 23.

Agree Kinvara pro is v good with stability that I need but something more exciting that Kayano. Haven’t tried the Tempus which people say great things about it, wonder how all these stability shoes compare.. hint for future videos

You talk about the SUPERBLAST. But it is not available. Are they coming out with a new version?

No brainer..the Saucony Axon 3..better than 90% of the bricks some call "daily trainers"..lite wt,breathability, cushioning and cheap..why would you look anywhere else..I suspect it was a mistake and they will redo it or drop it..for me it runs like the hoka mach 6 at lower cheaper price..really don't understand why Saucony can't make a decent midsole..that cheap shoe has a better midsole than any Saucony I ever owned including the speed/ pro1-2-3-4..bonkers. .

I like soft, bouncy foams, and the Kinvara Pro was the opposite for me. Too stiff, too firm and too heavy, even for easy runs. A shoe I would recommend (if you can get a good lock down) that is under the radar is the Diadora Gara Carbon, but at £250 I guess it will always be under the radar of most.

Anything from Mizuno 😂 My Wave Horizon 6 are an amazing stable daily trainer. And like all Mizunos they are very durable and from the upper to the outsole, they are really built to last.

Novablast Le's still getting around cheap, dont know why theyre not all snapped up. The kinvara pros have been popping up for 180 aud here, think I'll have to try

Wanted to try the Ghost max but for well below half the price got Saucony Axon 3 instead..yet to arrive so haven’t tried them yet..

For me it’s the Hoka Mach X … quite stiff to start but once they’re worn in the Peba midsole is a joy to run on. A daily Super trainer for only’ £160 👍

Good morning. !!! Kinvara Pro for ever!!!!. Like to Fordy. Have a good day.

Hers is one for you Fordy, Kinvara pro or the speed 4?

A shoe that is around 10 ounces, cushioned enough for long runs, not to mushy for speed work, stable enough for occasional trail runs, and priced no higher than an old school daily trainer.

Mizuno wave rider doesn't get enough credit

If anyone could compare the Kinvara Pro to the Endorphin Pro (my recent marathon shoe, that i found SOOOOO comfy), I'd appreciate it!

😁 Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 💪🏾

Newton Gravity 12

Love me some disco's on the "ugly duckling" colorways of the endorphin lineup who cares if im a version or two late actually the OGs changed the game imo

am i boring always sticking with Asics?

Ghost max are terrible...... Too stiff. Running in them are a terrible experience. Kinvara pro is a decent shoe but there are better options (NB SC trainer v3 coming soon)

I've seen a few of these obscure brands like True Motion and even Scott on some of these running shoe websites but I just never really see anyone reviewing them seriously.

Altra is the most underrated brand and ppl just are put off by shape but they forget foot health...
