Hey mate, nice review! I saw other reviewers mention the foam definitely is a bit softer than the NB4 (which was quite firm) where with these your foot sinks in a bit, and then it decompresses and bounces you forward on each stride. I’m a bit surprised you said this midsole is even firmer than the 4. But good to hear these are more stable feeling!
Nice one, the Novablast 5 looks a good upgrade. I'm on that Barrowford circuit Wednesdays and Sundays. Wednesday no one. Sundays very busy with kids learning to ride, walkers and occasioally even runners! It's a good venue for videos ; done a couple myself on there. Terry Lonergan
Glad to see they fixed some stuff. NB4 - the upper was unusable for me in summer, pretty toasty. The fit was a bit loose overall, but didn't mind that. Ousole was the worst on any shoe i've had, slippery on wet. As for the midsole, I didn't find it very bouncy. It was great and protective on longer slow runs, but not as versatile as the Mach 6. Still a very good shoe for most people. The only difference is that there are so many great daily trainers now (rebel v4, 1080v14, Balos, Mach 6, Adizero evo sl...).
3:11 you talk about your wider fit and the shoe lockdown. Comparied to the NB3 and 4 is this more wide foot friendly? I have the NB3 and that's slightly too narrow for me, wondering if I should get a NB5 wide or if the standard is already slightly wider.
Os corredores não mereciam essa prova desorganizadas. Crianças atravessando a pista correndo e o final chegou a ser vergonhoso com os velhos mais atrapalhando do que ajudando e podendo ocasionar um acidente. Essa criança não tem pais? Aqui no Brasil essas crianças já tinham levado puxões de orelhas e ficado de castigo. E esses senhores tem que jogar dama na praça.😂
Very comfortable shoes. Love them. I think i have found my favorite pair of shoes, they are very comfortable, they look very good, they are light. I have a few pairs of shoes, Asics, other Salomon, La Sportiva but these are my favorite.
Awesome video, answered a lot of my questions about Hoka. I agree with @122wendy ... music.... way too loud for this type of video. At least to me. ;) Still loved the video.
@Daaaanjj says that he doesn't think he'll do the VK again. I think I said something similar the first time I did it. But I've now done it more than 50 times ... so perhaps he'll be back and next time do the whole thing (from the church to the actual finish beyond the cable car station) to really get a sense of what climbing 1000m is all about!
Just bought a pair and am sadly returning immediately. Such a fun midsole and rocker, but the heel slippage is grim. Tore my heel up within 15 mins. Hope HOKA resolve this soon!
I geniuenly want to run in the Tx2.5. Because the Tx3 aint it for me. The peba is so squishy, and there is no full plate to stop the sinking in and giving you forward energy, basically leaving you with 40mm of peba that feels more like 20mm, and a rocker that just doesnt do anything, because of how much you sink in. Like you have medial and lateral stability, yes. But as imagine a metaspeed sky, with only plates on the sides. itd be terrible. You cannot tell me, that the extra stack and the tx2 midsole shape the 2.5 had, didnt do anything to make the rocker work and give you a more of the protection from the ground. other than that, the Tx3 has a few things upper and outsole wise, you could update, nothing crazy. maybe a v2 update :D But the midsole needs a revision. good "first" try, but this aint the end.
Where can I get a Daniel? To be completly honest I once struggled while running and imagined Daniel cheering for me like he's always cheering for you and it helped.
