I ran distance for many years and started the WS-100 the third year it was put on but QUIT at Devil’s Thumb and spent the next two years feeling so guilty and so much like a failure that I ran it again and finished in 28:40. Trust me, folks, no matter whether you are an elite runner or back-of-the-pack dogmeat like me, the WS-100 will take you into the dark corners of your soul.
Which shoe is better for deep sand condition asics fujispeed 2 or saucony endorphin rift? And are they any shoes that are better for deep sand the both of them?
After 3 years of use, I'm sad to say the crown button dial failed, rendering the training features of the watch useless. I very much liked the watch and paired application, but my concerns this button would be a failure point came true. Now I'm considering Garmin Instinct 2 and Polar Grit Pro X (while it's greatly on sale) instead.
Love these trail shoes ( S 1) Have used them every weekend for about a year. Snow, mud, rain, all weather, tramping, trail running. Best shoe ever. Slid over today for the 1st time. Hope series 2 is just as good. It's pain when a companies try to make an already good shoe better and it doesn't alway work. Roll on the new shoe. Thank God they are on special. Anything over $250 is to expensive.
I own these and completely agree with this review. Shoe works great in preventing dirt and water from getting stuck in the shoe. Overall my feet are generally cleaner after trail running with these than my other shoes. My biggest complaint is stability. The general construction of the shoe is sock-like therefore it takes more skill to be able to control your foot placement on tougher terrain. Ive twisted my ankle every time I’ve downhill with these, sometimes multiple times. Giving up stability makes the shoe more comfortable and breathable keeping the feet feeling good on those longer trail runs.
Hi I usually wear shoes number 44 usually which passes with my orthopaedic soles. But Salomon are shorts on my finger (finger touch too much and downhill worse) and with the new orthopaedic soles I have I cannot even fit them in. checking the website Salomon has 44 2/3 or 45 1/3. if I should try to take a bigger size hoping they fit with my orthopaedic soles but hoping they are nor too big so then the heel will move. which one do you think should I get? I have a 130 euro voucher but I must for sure use it on line so I cannot try the shoes before. I have a pair of Wings Flyte 2 GTX which are light great to walk, run and hike fast but they are (44) too short and feel small on the fingers. do you have a model to suggest? and which size u think? thank you
I found them for 40% off for anyone interested.. Google kittery premium outlets and you can find the page. (It’s located in NH for those not local or familiar)
What is the name of the Salomon shoe you were comparing this to ? + in terms of design and outsole i don't see any impovmments visually from the MAX2 to MAX 3.
I mainly use altra running shoes because the toe box is amazing, but i have been reading great reviews about the fuel cell rebel v4. Is there any options for a wider to box? Really want to tey these shoes out.
Just bought some of these in the UK for £63 as I was looking for a comfortable trail shoe for those longer runs and events, sounds perfect for what I want!
Love the 3s! I replaced my Altra Olympus 5s with these and ran a 33K right out of the box on very rocky jagged AZ terrain and they felt great all 20 miles. I use the Topo Pursuit for anything under 10 miles and save my trabuco max 3s for anything over 10 - toe box is wide and the cushion is great - too me it is not too firm - it is a very nice mix of soft and bouncy - more on the bouncy side. Very happy with them except not a big fan of the plain tan but it does blend into the AZ landscape
Warning. These are extremely narrow. My toes felt pushed over to one side.. After just 5 miles, my feet began to ache so much that I took them off and sold them. Also, go half a size up or even better, buy the vomero 17 instead.
Very good fit without discomfort in any area, good grip on rocky, dry and muddy terrain. It is a light shoe with excellent cushioning, perfect for long distances. A mix between the Salomon Sense Ride and Salomon's classic aggressive model, the Speedcross. I have Salomon sense ride 4 and I wear a 49 1/3 shoe, which is the maximum. The Salomon Thundercross does not disappoint.
Id like to get these i tried once some model dont remeber which but i was 44,5 in them...im usually a 44 in nike casual lifestyle or running shoe.. so should i get these in 44.5 or 45, do they fit small
Well. I have it for three months . they are expensive but I found them half price . What I think ? - they are not bouncy - they are heavy - have no grip for the forest - too stiff too be comfortable - way too large - not exciting to run in Worst trail shoes Nike made despite all the good points you can hear sometimes
Hey Ethan. How many miles did these last in the end? I’m finally retiring my Hoka Rincon after 500 miles. Those lasted way much longer than expected lol
A great upgrade. Put some serious miles in v2. The v3 upgrade is on the upper - the lockdown is better, the collar is a more confident fit - the tongue doesn't go wandering and you can feel that it's lighter. You are running in a tank of a shoe so on technical stuff it can feel a little like being on stilts. But I love it and so do my legs after a long day on the trails.
hi there! between the Prodigio and the Timp 5, which one is more comfortable for long runs? I have the Altra Timp 5 brand new, but I'm considering returning them because the upper seems stiffer than I expected. Even though I prefer Altra's "footshape," it is said that the Prodigio is wider in the metatarsals than it seems. I would go half a size up to be sure.
