Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 is/was better than any new Speed iteration. Narrow, tight, firm and boy, they are snappy. Re all other shoes, good riddance, I guess, especially the bad fitting ones.

I bought this shoe based on reviews by Tim, EddBud, and Yowana… Bottom line, best $130 I ever spent. Fantastic shoe.

Another great watch Tim. Currently downsizing from a house to a flat and planning to convert a bath into a shoe cupboard as I only ever shower. 😂 Also any suggestions for culling 1,000+ football programmes?

Sounds like me when I try to have a clear out. ' I think I'll keep those for now' and I end up not throwing anything away. 😄

I'm glad to see the 2005 Ashes survived the cull.

This is exactly what I was looking for- Thank you!!

Excellent concept and analysis. Not only did I watch the whole video, I've also read all the comments - the latter being something I never do.

Congrats and happy 26th anniversary 🎉

nitro 2 , really this bad ?! they were cheap for us

We need more Sue content please! Maybe she should review some shoes that are comfortable for walking and daily use

Fun, interesting video. Yes, Adidas always runs a half-size small for me.

Hi Tim, thanks for the review, I came across your channel looking for options for shoes for the Police opposition, to use them both in the agility circuit and in the 1000, since they don't allow you to change shoes... I have to look for some with good grip and then for the track that are comfortable for me, I was among Adizero SL2, the Pegasus 41, and finally as an option the Adios 8, especially because of the continental sole... I don't know your opinion as an expert on this? . Thank you

Solar boost 3 was exactly the same for me, possibly the worst I’ve ever tried!! Honestly, those OG rincon were amazing, my shoe of the year haha!

The important thing is you have the Star Trek box set. 🖖

You seem to have bought a lot of undersized shoes!...also, best not to add up the total cost....many thanks for posting.

I loved those original Adidas Pros. The lightstrike and boost just worked for me. Did London Marathon in them and some other races and training runs. The upper was amazing too, don't think Adidas has bettered that with either the Pro2 and 3s.

Are you donating them to a shoe bank?

I loved the original infinity’s. I had 3 pairs

I ran my first 10k in the Infinity Run. Now, I'm about to run my first full Marathon tomorrow morning (not in the same shoe!!) 😂😂😂

Friday is the day I run in my bad shoes. I have them on rotation 😂. Then when they are not good for running they get a little bit of life as walking/biking shoe 😊. I have 4 pairs of shoes at my work that gets rotated 😂 Yes at some point they will leave my home. But I get as much out them as I can🎉

You guys need a dedicated shoe room 😍

So much history going into the bin here...sometimes that is what it takes. The bright Boston 9 was a stunner...also I remember Boston 7/8/9 fitting short, like a soccer boot.

I'm allowed 6 pairs. When a new pair arrives, another pair must leave. Of course if you get to the door first then nothing arrived and you can hide the nothings if you're quick enough.

😂

🤣🤣🤣

100% on the SL1. Like a wider, slightly heavier adios 6. I ran through a few pair of speed 1s and retired them around 275 miles (foam died around then). Spot on

Another cracking original video Tim. You’re bound to get more than enough on eBay to buy even a couple of shoes given how little you’ve worn some of those. It’s something when you refer to the Boston 7 as a shoe from “back in the day” but it is indeed… goes to show how much they’ve changed in such a short space of time. How’s the injury?

getting sentimental on the rincon 1 wore them in 2020 until there was nothing left. 800k, I didn t even bother about the outsole.

Great. Made space for new pairs incoming.

Sue 😂👍🤗

Hi Tim! Do you plan to review the Metaspeed Sky Paris? It would be interesting to see your opinion and compare with your favourite shoe the Vaporfly! Some report they like it even better than the Vaporfly, eg. Nick from the Run testers. Cheers!

why so many pairs ?// one pair new balance is all you need

Tim, what is this position? Are you doing core stability there?😉😂

its funny, never had the solarglide gtx, but i had the solarglide 4 and i took that tank to over 500 running miles, than many months of wearing at work. i was having some ankle issues last week so took a break from higher stack shoes, busted out the "disaster" adizero pro from years ago for some faster road miles. the upper was still incredible, perfect. yah the ride was firm, but it felt snappy and the shoe was agile. dont think you got rid of enough shoes get back to those shelves. 😅

Fascinating tour through the Shoe Warehouse there at the beginning, and some really interesting ones to see there like the Peg Turbo 2 GTX. I never really hold on to that many shoes, mostly because I don' t have enough room for them. If they' re still good to run in, I put them on Vinted or similar. In the best case you can still make a little money off themm and maybe someone else can still make use of them.

Have worn all Nike Infinity Run except the current one exclusively casual because I like how they look, don't feel like good running shoes but fine for walking

I have two pairs of running shoes. Oldest pair Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2 (1 year still going strong 1200k later) 2nd pair Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 (only one month and one race old). Gave away the Puma DV8 Nitro to a friend, two years old and a bit frayed. Still going though. Make your life simple,,,,,,,

Rincon 3 have been great- but agree that the Rincon line wear down quickly.

Your right about the Velocity Nitro 2. Mine started going at 200 miles. Completely dead by the time I retired them at 302 miles. They were like bricks, so much so that I nearly cut short my run. Binned them immediately after my run.

you should give the Tempo Next another try ! my favorite shoe and I probably have as many shoes as you lol

Appreciate the timestamps, Tim! I had the Rincon 1 & 2 and actually enjoyed it until 200k when the EVA midsole started to bottom out and went flat and hurt my legs. Had to persist and retired it after 400k both version. Since then not had any Hokas cause they are so behind with their midsole however it's good to see Hoka finally changing there midsoles now to full PEBA albeit only on their high road racing shoes i.e Rocket X2 and Cielo X2. Liked the SL20 (500k) very much. It has a firm but snappy midsole which is great for intervals, workouts, tempos and easy Long runs. Can't wait to get the SL2 after raving reviews to be my do it all daily trainer this year to replace my much beloved T20 that I'm about to retire at 1000k.

We all bought a lot of crap during 2020. I'm sticking to top end offerings from now on. I have to save these old joints. Great vlog sir.

Still using the following... Puma Velocity Nitro 2: On my 2nd pair managed to get them very cheap. Agree they feel firmer in colder temperatures and the upper is a little thick when it's really warm. Best suited to spring/autumn for grinding out the miles. Adidas SL20: On my 2nd pair and still got another to go. They're a little firm for anything over 10k these days. I agree the also seem quite short compared to other Adidas shoes. I tend to use them in the winter when it's wet as they don't seem to take on much water and the outsole is very impressive. Adidas Boston 9: On my 4th and final pair. Great shoe, love it! Use it for my long slow runs and it seems perfect for that, just enough cushioning and fairly light in my size. Nike React Infinity Run: On my 5th pair with another to go. It does take a good few runs to break in, but I can get around 1000km out of these. Mainly using them for easy/recovery runs, not the best at going round corners as it does feel a bit wide. I did get in to the habit of buying multiple pairs of the same shoe, usually if they were heavily discounted.

SL20 was a cracking shoe back in the day. Brick like when going slow but worked well once you got moving. Great outsole as well, really grippy.

Interesting video, Tim. Your man cave looks like a wall in my garage. Except as the owner of The Complete Runner I mainly have my shoes supplied by brands as part of forward ordering. 6 adidas models I see which is reassuring for me as adidas is NOT one of my significant brands and those I have invested in over the last 3 years or so have not sold well. Can't help thinking those shoes you keep would stack better and be tidyier if you kept in their boxes. Asics is still my number one brand here; with customers returning for the traditional models 1000 series, 2000 series and Kayano. Yet we rarely see reviews on these! But close behind is 361 degrees brand . A great range of neutral, support models for road and some very decent trail shoes. Quality is 100%. Zero returns. Worth a try ; you will noy be disappointed!

13:24 give it up endorphin speed 2... ❤❤❤

Hardest part of being a runner is throwing out/getting rid of/selling older shoes I open my cupboard with the best of intentions but probably only lift 3 pairs instead of the planned 10 😂😂😂😂 even if they haven’t been on in years I out them back

You have a fair few goretex shoes in the collection. In the Netherlands it also tends to be pretty wet, I wish there was a better selection of water proof shoes available. I myself have ASICS gt2000 11 gtx for wet days but they’re pretty awful.

Hi! If you run 500 kms in each pair your own... how many kilometres you would have run?!!... i guess, you would be the single most impossible runner in the world!! 😮

Mmmmmm soft shoes!!!😋
