The most boring shoe I’ve ever used. Feels like it does nothing, I returned them

Put together a complete Puma training rotation recently - Magnify Nitro 2, Deviate Nitro 2, and Fast-R Nitro Elite. Magnify is the best max cushion I've ever tried. Deviate Nitro 2 is the best daily trainer ever, and the Fast-R is good for runs and workouts that have a fast focus. Overall, the Deviate is the most fun, and I'll be buying another, since I'll wear out that one first.

Can I use it as a brisk walking shoe and short burst jogging/sprinting?

same landing style like yours😁😁😁😁

god i wish i had bought more pairs

DN2 pair it with VN3 is my best rotation for me amazing and the shoes is durable like tank lol

Instead oof having so many faces why don;t you just copy and rename the activity and use certain watch faces.

Is that t-shirt first in Km and then in Miles? It does look nice though

Hey Ben! I'm looking to upgrade from the Brooks Adrenaline 22 to something more inspiring. Between the Asics Superblast and the Saucony Speed 3, which would you recommend more? I need support but I'm looking for nice energy return as well. Cheers!

Brilliant review Ben! I’ll be buying these. Absolutely love my Forever Runs. Looking forward to your shirt and hats arriving in Australia 👍

Is this a good value on sale at 72$? They still have sizes left

Is it true to size ?

Do you size up or down

Thanks!! Just got a new Garmin and this video made setup really easy

I like my pair but i find them bad in the wet, quite slippery with any water around. This makes them annoying for races because you have to slow right down whenever there’s a drinking water point because of all the water on the ground, otherwise you feel like you're gonna slip

The 'within two years' requirement is so harsh for int'l runners and leads to a very Euro-centric competition.

Nice hat

Thank you for posting this helpful video

Hey Ben! I watched your review. I just got my Nike Pegasus Shield last week. I have a concern about the shoes getting torn in the upfront part. You mention it makes the pop up sound when you walk. Is there a change that they get torn after some walks?

I would switch brand loyalty to Puma but have one concern. I’m size 11.5 uk but Puma are either size 11 or 12. I’m dubious about sizing up or down and visited a Puma store (could feel an 11 wrap to my big toe but had heel slippage in a 12). Unsure if I take the plunge with an 11… My view is they may stable, well thought through shoes with better grip than most other brands. I notice Puma also comes off as a nearly brand. It’s “nearly as good as” a Saucony or maybe an ASICS/Adidas yet it’s nearly always better value.

I've had these for a while, great shoe. The people complaining about the pop are real nitpickers to me. I didn't notice it at all and it even goes away after a while. I love these for running in winter.

Bondi 6’s and 7’s feel much better than 8’s

Thx so muched subscribed you deserve way more subscribers btw, informative, beginner friendly with no over complicated over the top content 🎉❤

I hate plate shoes

on my right cloudmonster shoe i have pain in toes :( i don t know what is problem

Hi, any idea of the shield-line has been discontinued? There was no Pegasus 40 shield....

The first and last Hoka shoes that I will purchase (Bondi 8). It is like running in soft sand, and these runners managed to knock 1 minute/km off my average run time. They just suck the life from your legs as you increase time and kms. I would avoid these shoes for anyone that 1) enjoys running and 2) wants to keep enjoying running. Where they might add value is for recovery days, or for people that are training for an event that has them running through knee deep mud or in very soft sand across sand dunes. I am a heavy runner (90kg+) that runs 50km+ each week, and have not had an injury in about 5 years. These shoes changed that. My knees and ankles were inflamed and sore for days after running a slow 10km. I usually wear Saucony or On Cloud shoes, and have recently switched back...and the muscle soreness disappeared...and my times magically came back up to my normal average!! They are OK and comfortable for wearing around the house as a pair of slippers, but as a shoe for running - i would not recommend.

Where can I get your marigolds?

One thing I can appreciate is that speed is no factor but at the same time I do appreciate that Ironman for example is performance based... i went to 70.3 worlds 2021 based on finshing position in a race which i felt was fair to auto-qualify. Maybe the combination of lottery in addition to qualifing position would be cool... for example if you show up and finish like top 10% or even top 5% of a 100k or 100m UTMB race, i feel you ought yo qualify. Meanwhile, everyone gets their chance in the lottery. Just a though

Is that good for pronation I have back pain and all

My endorphin 3 opened both toes and I had to retire when the side opened completely, no saucony for me ever again, I run no more than 10 miles per week, so $170 for less than a year no no

What I love about ON shoes is the "cushion to responsiveness ratio". Every other running shoe that offers the same shock absorption and stability feels awful to run to me. Like running on a 5cm foam block with zero connection to the surface.

Очень разочарован!Пробежал в них 300 км. и они начали пропускать влагу.На месте сгиба через 2 месяца материал который водонепроницаемый начал трескаться вдоль волокон. Я не знаю с чем это связано так как бегал давольно аккуратно.Единственное что приходит на ум это температура при которой я бегал ,до минус 22.Очень жаль конечно ,так как в целом мне все в них нравится.

Runs funny

I tought this was release in 2023

I’ve put about 3,000 miles on mine

Thansk alot for that dude, really appreciated. It's not so comp[licated but the stress and importance of getting it right makes my brain melt! I understand it now and will plan accordingly! Discovered your channel as a by product of watching Jeff Pelettier's UTMB doc. Much love and respect!

Cloudmonster are awesome

Do you ship internationally to the USA?

Is 5 pairs too many pairs? Asking for a friend...

I got this just cauze it was monsoon season this past 2 months where I’m from so I’m getting annoyed that my regular running shoes getting soaked each time though I have a few for rotation but just reserve them for race day. Yeah not ideal for warm climate cauze I don’t live in a snowy area. Do feel warm but not the bad kind that ur feet soaked with sweat inside😂 The upper annoying sound doesn’t bother once u break in or go really fast maybe you’ll notice on casual walks. Comfort is average I mean u want softer u can get the invisibles . Aesthetically looks nice and a certified all rounder workhorse.

Just grabbed a pair.✌️

I’m always behind the pack. But I’m at over 1000 miles in my Bondi 7’s. They’re at about the end of their run. It’s been 2 years. Bondi 8’s are on their way! Hopefully they’ll hold up!

How’s the sizing compared to Nike?

the runshield version comes in some decent colors and may grip better on the wet roads

Is there an air pocket in the forefoot and heel like the regular Nike Peg 40? Also, is there a Gortex version of the Peg for road running? Thnx

I recently ran a 2:20 marathon, and building towards my first comrades. Currently use the boston 12 and nitro elite (end of its life) as my daily trainers, and now needing a new shoe. I enjoy the poppy shoes, however also needing the cushioning and durability that comes with comrades running. My two considerations currently are the novablast 4 and the endorphin speed 3 ? which would you go for ?? thanks

It's not soft, it's comfy and safe

i just got theese soo far im impressed i was going to get the hokas but i got theese

Messed up my knees years back due to old shoes. I change mine out twice a year. I dont care and that pain was horrible but no more issues
