Tin Pham hey tin. I run about 70-85 miles a week. I own both of the shoes you are suggesting. If you like more of a plush run go with the epic reacts. If you like a more responsive snapping feedback go with the Pegasus 35. However if you can just go for the Pegasus turbo. That zoom x and react combo is perfect for almost any run distance. I use the epic reacts for my training sessions and for the past two years I have ran the nyc marathon and I ran in NIKE zoom vaporfly 4%. Good luck on your decision.

I think that if the pain you are feeling is in your arch, it probably isn't bottoming out. What I have noticed is that the Epic React has a lower, less supportive arch compared to a lot of other Nike shoes. The Pegasus 35, for example, has a higher, firmer, more supportive arch. If your foot isn't as used to running with less arch support over longer miles, this could cause fatigue. The arch of the Epic React is actually part of why I love it so much; it works better with my foot than like the Pegasus 35. The Pegasus 35 arches seem to poke into my feet more when running which causes arch pain probably similar to yours. The Pegasus Turbos don't do this as much because the arches are a bit softer I think. I actually like the Epic React better than the Pegasus Turbos for my long runs. The midfoot/forefoot feels a little better cushioned over my long runs of like 14 miles even though the Pegasus Turbos feel softer. The ZoomX in the Turbos doesn't feel as squishy after 10+ miles and starts to feel packed down. The Pegasus Turbos definitely feel bouncier and softer with basically the same weight, but the Epic React cushioning seems to hold up better. Also note that the Epic Reacts are super durable. Most of the initial wear is cosmetic and slows down. The flyknit is super durable and the midsole holds up really well. I put around 500 miles in my first pair and could have easily ran more in them, but I had a second pair ready.
@kofuzi
@kofuzi 6 лет назад
That's an interesting way to look at it. The peg 35 arch definitely does reach up more to meet your foot.

I'm an old guy who only runs about 30 miles a week. I wore through a Peg 35 and an Epic React before deciding to trying the Tree Runner by Allbirds (completely destroyed at 400 miles/4 months). I can't share my experience with the precision either Cameron or Kofuzi have but you've convinced me to go back and give the Epic React another try. After that I'll come back with a review of my own.

I have 257 miles on my Nike Epic React flyknits, and I can honestly say they are one of the best values Nike running offers. I run with a rotation of Epic Reacts, Zoom Elites and Zoom Fly's, and I plan on getting 350-400+ miles from the Epic React without any loss in support and responsiveness. And the flyknit looks almost new. Love these.

@@michir6279 the Zoom Fly is a solid fast day tempo shoe but the stiffness does take a few runs to get accustomed to.

Would recommend the Zoom Fly Flyknit for anyone who can't race in the Vaporfly.

These were my favorite shoes this year until the Zoom Fly, which feel like Reacts but a little bouncier. I feel like they get more hate than they deserve because they're more of an all-purpose shoe and they don't really excel at any type of run. Also, they're doing a limited release of the Hoka Clifton 1, so if you're thinking about trying them now is the time. I know they don't look the best but they're super comfortable and light for longer runs.

What I loved the most about this shoe is not that it is very light weight but how breathability it has. It is not just the flyknit upper but also the React cushioning and little rubber in the outsole helps the Epic React to not "drain" heat from the asphalt. Perfect shoe to use during spring/ summer or for very long runs at the winter where the shoe will not overheat my feet.

Nike lists it as having a different or special outsole. I recall back on the 33 Pegasus Shield, they treated it somehow with something that made the outsole lugs almost sticky. Maybe it's the same there? I'm getting very curious about the Odyssey Shield.
@ariojansivu9606
@ariojansivu9606 6 лет назад
It's the same here. I rubbed both Epic and Odyssey Shield outsole and the latter is much stickier. I'd go for Peg Shield but standard Peg ride feels so firm and somehow dull after Vaporfly, Epic and Turbo. VF is out of this world. Ran sub 1:36 half PB in them and felt great all along.

Great review! I have a 4 shoe rotation (Epic React, Zoom Fly SP, and two pairs of Peg Turbos). It may seem like a travesty but I like my Epic Reacts the most because of their versatility - It's the proverbial "Jack of all Trades, Master of None". My recovery runs are always done in these shoes as the Zoom Fly and Peg Turbos promote a faster foot strike turnover.

I have a pair of Epic Reacts with comparable wear. The only issue I had with the upper is that the heel loops frayed where the stitching rubs the heel, they're both hanging by a thread. I agree with about the outsole for overall durability, but the reason there is less on the Epic React is to save weight. Which is why there is more rubber on the less expensive versions.

There's no flywire in the epic react, so isn't there any loss of stability or foot escape??

I really wanted to love these shoes, but my arch insoles I use just made the foot sit so high I was getting massive heel slip. It always seems the fly knit uppers have such shallow heel cups.
@kofuzi
@kofuzi 6 лет назад
Were the arches too low in these for you with the standard insole?
@alexsteinker
@alexsteinker 6 лет назад
Yeah, I use The Super Feet Orange insole. I have pretty high arches. The insole has been a game charger for me across my rotation of shoes, but seems to be too much of interior stack height with that fly knit.

the advertising hype was a bit hyperbolic (akin to Under Armour saying the Hovr Infinite will let you run "millions of miles"), so i'd say no. but it's quite enjoyable for running.

i mention my paces for the sake of transparency so people can know what i'm doing. but when i mention speed in shoe reviews, i generally feel like things that are good for "fast days" or good for "slow days" comes down to relative effort.

I'd feel more comfortable in the 35 than the Epic React in terms of traction. But for what traction is has, it seems to hold up over time.

Nike Streak 6 or Nike Zoomfly Flyknit?
@kofuzi

I've never run in the Zoom streak. But the answer is it depends on the distance (and I assume you mean for racing or race pace days). I'd consider zoom streak for 5k and under.

i felt similarly to you after about 100 miles, and i'm on record as such in my first impressions video, my 100 miles video, in videos discussing the zoom fly sp and the zoom fly flyknit, and in hundreds of comments across youtube. but this shoe is confusing. for me, it seems to be getting better with age somehow? if you follow me on IG or strava, you can see what shoes I wear every day, even when I'm not running in a shoe for the purpose of a review. I've been reaching for these a lot lately.
