Love the banging colour way

😉

Variations is clever marketing, more and more shoes to supply to more and more runners, trend I see is more and more runners which is great. Problem with all these new shoes is I need to find more and more excuses to tell the wife why I need more shoes 😂😂

The GT2000 ran almost a full size long for me. I'm normally a 11.5 in most shoes, had to size down to an 11 in the Asics Nimbus 26, and then 10.5 for the in the GT2000 12. Maybe it's just me, I have a long narrow foot, with a long big toe.

I got 10miles in mine over the last 2 days and it definitely wants you to mid/heel strike to get what youre supposed to get out of it. Im a mid/forefoot runner so it's been a difficult transition so far. When i tried to run the way i normally do i was about 10 minutes away from a serious blister on the pad of my left foot. So today i changed my foot strike and ran without the shoelaces and it felt really good! Easy & fun zone 2 workout when you run at the mid strike. Idk if ill be able to mid strike at faster paces bc i almost feels like I'm stomping and im not a fan of that. But it does feel like, with the mid foot strike, that I'm actually going through the actually rocker of the shoe. It's like running in a Hoka except that peak starts further back than the Hoka's. The Hoka rocker has always felt like it wanted you on the forefoot for me, which is what im used to.

Can't wait to try mine this Sunday long run! Those laces are so long, might try the yowana lace tie :)

Just got mine. Not ran in them yet but feel great walking around. Would they work alongside the Superblast in a rotation or are they too similar?

Just got my Dynablast 3 for £45, quite curious to try them out on my next run!

Ordered these yesterday. Big up fordyruns for the 10% discount

Only tried mine on in the house but I already know it's going to be amazing! Tomorrow I will be putting the first of many miles in them and I can't wait 😂 Not sure of that daft disclaimer Chris, keep it less formal if ya can

I got mine last week. Great shoe for a mixed pace longer run. You’re right about the fun factor. I had to force myself to keep the pace down.

£135 with code FORDYRUNS

Have you been told off by KZfaq? That was a lengthy disclaimer there, mate! :P

Been having runner's knee every time I use this. Had to stop and sell mine, sadly.

Will stick with the S3 / 4

Good to see back running after your calf strain. I strained mine training for Leeds Marathon. Thankfully I only needed 2 weeks out. What's the need for the really long disclaimer?? I see Kofuzi doing something a little similar but he seems to of almost put his own brand onto it..

It’s a bit too soft. I did 10 miles in mine and now can’t return them to Mizuno. It’s good at slow paces but can’t push the pace without pushing it hard. It’s like mud

Loved the way you pronounced Mizunoo! I thought it was pronounced Mizu-noh. I prefer yours! :)

Managed to get my hands on a barely used pair of Speed 4 for £90 and am really enjoying them, is this shoe a direct competitor or would it work in conjunction? Great video as ever Chris!

Not sure whether it counts as a trend, but after years of being left behind and stuck in the past, the last 12 months have seen Mizuno reappear with some super interesting shoes. The Rebellion Pro and Flash and now the Neo Vista are a far cry from their stale line up. They’ve always done quality gear and quality shoes but got left behind in the tech. Looks like that’s changing and they are actually exciting in their releases now and it’s nice to see that!

I’ve been enjoying your content mate

Hoka Clifton 9 and Nova Blast 4 what are those like compared to Peg 41 that’s comparison I want know.

I just want shoes that are fun to run in...super or not

Floatride Energy 5 is my pick. I walk 20k+ steps a day in them. They're a dream!

I don't think this vid aged well. This shoe was arguably worst release of that year.

Update after using this shoe for 1 year. Comfort 0 Stability 0 After sometime don't even feel like wearing it since the sole is hard as rock. Never recommend it even for daily use.

Radio silence in regards to the adidas adizero SL2

Interesting top 5. I prefer the Brooks Ghost Max with the drop 6mm. Like to Fordy. Have a nice day.

Would love to know what shoes you would recommend for the gym. I recently bought New Balance 520 which I use for work (gym) and for weight training.

Your smile on completing the parkrun says it all. Well done for your patience and restraint. I know you must have been chomping at the bit to run. Great to see you are.back 🙌🏽

The big trend is that good shoes are significantly getting more expensive as the latest versions come out! For example the Saucony Endorphin speed 4

When a reviewer receives a free product, there's an inherent bias towards positive feedback. The company providing the free shoes likely expects glowing praise in return. This creates a pressure to write a positive review, even if the reviewer doesn't genuinely love the product. Furthermore, reviewers might feel obligated to overlook flaws or shortcomings to maintain a good relationship with the brand for future collaborations

I'm with you in that I really REALLY don't get why the 'super' shoes are getting so heavy. Once upon a time (back in my day when I were a lad and you had take the horse and carriage to the races) racers were all about the absolute lightest possible shoe to the point where 'racing flats' were like wearing pieces of tissue paper, and gawd help you if you had any biomechanical issues at all.

I thought of another thing that I don’t like . The tongue is too wide compared to the 34

I loved the Pegasus 34 was a great shoe , very comfortable. Newer models seem narrow and I don’t have wide feet 👣

Good video, trends are great but the brands really need to work on their supply issues, trying to find a uk size 11 on some of these is impossible, trend of influencers increasing demand ?

The Hoka cello hello LOL

Fordy you said “I dunno” about 20 times in this review. I dunno, but that’s a lot

I just got that shoe, absolutely hate it

ON has proliferated the health care industry giving Hoka a run for its money 💰

Bought the NB Rebel v4 size 9 UK Lime Green N colour way put my foot in today felt like an 8.5??? 😢 Only way round it was to rrmove the insole and wear a thinner sock as the 9.5 are sold out. Hopefully will be ok.

The variations thing is to help sales and marketing I think. If you bring out a new shoe and call it the Brooks Stallion Max (obviously they wouldn’t use that name 😂) it has to grow a reputation…the Brooks Ghost Max is already halfway there due to name recon

For me it seems like all the daily trainers are pretty much the same shoe 👟 making it much harder to choose one that stands out!

SON MIS ZAPATOSS 😍😉

Most of the super shoes (apart from the Asics) have widened the base for a bit more stability, but more width = more foam = more weight

You look like you're in good condition considering you haven't been running. No weight gain or anything?

Can you use the Pegasus 41 in the gym workouts?
