Brendon, I have had issues my entire life Bc of flatter feet. I always end up w awful shin splints and also the inner portions of my knees would get the same pain. To the point where I could t even jog. In the past I Had arches made but I don’t have those anymore. I just buy others I find. I am 215 pounds and made a goal to do a little 5k in November . I’m looking for a shoe that will help those issues. I don’t have a wide foot either ... any recommendations would be great . I’m leaning toward the brooks
@@03US11MC was 217 at one point and the shoes that were game changers for me in regards to shin splints were the New balance Beacon v2, Saicony Endorphin Shift, Asics Glideride. I'm a slow runner and all of these shoes are more medium cushion (not too firm but not super soft), the most miles I run at that time was 4 miles so not a lot of time on foot. These shoes have a good base some are a little heavy but keep me in good alignment. Too squishy can cause instability and lead to shin splints in my case. I hope this helps
Brooks Ghost. A decent neutral alternative for someone who doesn't have pronation issues. I avoid ASICS like the plague - the two I've tried flattened out in the midfoot after a short time, and one just caused untold foot pain. I love the New Balance 1080v10, what worked for me was changing the insoles. Looking to get the Clifton's as my next running shoe.
@@nollys8523 everyone is so different. The brooks ghost had me feeling like every bone in my right foot was broke plus Bilateral shin splints. I love to 1080 v10. I don't have any shoes from this season to compare.
I just got the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit and WOW! I am also a newer runner. I am 45 yr old and started at 305lbs 9 months ago. Now I'm down to 265lbs. Running fat sucks, but these shoes make it so much more enjoyable and comfortable. Great video! 👍
That's freaking fantastic!!!!! Congrats to you on your weight loss!! I'm just starting as well. I need to lose about 70 pounds and just recently started lightly jogging in place to try to build up some stamina. I need a good shoe to help absorb the impact. Wish me luck! 😊
So glad I found this channel right now - my heaviest was 470 and I'm down to about 310 currently. I started eating healthier a few years ago and started walking a lot. I've had ups and downs, been back to really kicking butt the last few months. Walking is amazing, but it feels restricting depending on the path ahead of you, especially paved, flat or downhill ground; you eventually have to start running at least bits at a time and that's how the obsession begins. That, and taking the same paths and trying to beat your best times! Thank you thank you thank you for making this!!! Exploring shoes has been wild :)
Wow, Brandon-I had no idea you were that heavy and made that remarkable transformation. Huge kudos for that achievement! It’s always inspiring to see such stories of people dramatically improving their health--physical or mental-through running. Meanwhile, I'm only 101.5 lbs so just watching this because I enjoy your vlogs and shoes! Martha
I bought a pair of new balance 608's at well over 320+ lbs just to start walking in. I had never spent any significant amount of money on a shoe but I knew I needed to spring for this, so at 34 I finally did. I was so impressed with the "ride quality" and comfort that for the first time in a long time I WANTED to walk. A few months later I bought a pair of 623's, also very high quality for the price point. I bought a pair of the 557's for the looks not long after, but they were also very comfortable and I jog in them every day now that I am at 290 lbs. If you've never bought a good shoe before you really have no idea what you're missing out on. I've been losing about 5lbs a month and there are no signs of it slowing down, buying a nice pair of shoes has literally changed my life! I can't wait to try out one of these premium running shoes.
This information was a godsend. I am a heavy runner who prorated. My pronation has lead to knee discomfort and eventual surgery. Your videos have given me the confidence to get back out there post surgery. I didn't realize how much I missed the JOY of running. It's great getting info from someone who actually understands what it's like for a heavier runner. Thank you and stay safe.
Hey Kevin! It's comments like yours that make making these videos worth it. I'm humbled to hear these videos have helped. It's difficult for someone to understand how truly difficult it is unless they've gone through it themselves. Good luck with your journey, if you have any questions please let me know!
@@BrendonCammI'm 400 lbs. Don't run. But want good comfy shoes. But concerned about safety if the shoes are too soft and crush unexpectedly. Any suggestions for me?
Really appreciate this video as most videos out there are geared towards veteran runners who have been in running shape most of their lives. Thanks for thinking of us on the outside trying to get into it!
I was 300lbs and started running in new balance trail runners. Then one day I bought brooks and holy cow what a difference. Hokas are amazing but horrible to walk in. I do more sprints where I walk 5min and run 5min.
@@youraverage8850 I have new balance and they’re great. I haven’t tried brooks or Hoka yet. But definitely start where you can! Walk before you jog, jog before you run, run before you sprint!
I’m 6’0” 200-205 lbs, but up until three years ago I was 300+ lbs for most of my adult life, I’m 32. Back then I would run at a 12:00 minute per mile pace, now I’m around an 8:00 minute per mile pace. I’m currently on asics gel nimbus 24, and I like them, good protection for my joints. I used the adrenaline back then also, worked well, but not so much anymore, I lean towards the cushioned neutral shoes now.
Congratulations on your weightloss and meeting health goals. The issue I run into is how quick the cushion breaks down in a lot of sneakers. I want to feel like I am walking on a cloud.
Thank you for the kind words :) The shoe that gives me the most sensation of walking on a cloud is the ZoomX invincible, the cushion feels like no other. It's pricy, but it's definitely one that is fun. Another option is the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3, that is another fantastic shoe!
Hey Martin! The invincible is hands down my favorite shoe. I'm actually working on my full review video of it right now and it was hard to contain my excitement. Thanks so much for tuning in!
I have the Nike Invincible run zoomx in three different color ways for when I go to work. It is my idea choice for a work shoe meaning 8 hours of walking back and forth or standing. Glad to hear you enjoy it as well
Hey Misha! The invincible is a fantastic shoe. I debated picking up a second pair for a long time, but had so many shoes to get through to review! Thanks for tuning in, have a great weekend :)
The Asics glideride especially the most recent release is great for heavy runners due to the cushion and transitional rocker. Takes a kettle getting used to but 90% of my training runs are in this shoe. I own 5 pairs.
I really appreciate this video. I recently just started up my channel for heavy runners because I didn't have much to go by when I was starting. There were light-framed people talking about shoes that may be good for heavy runners but you hit the head on the nail because you actually have the experience to back it up! Thank you. (and I'm not hating on the light-framed runners, I actually appreciate that they try.)
Love the idea for your channel - running can be an intimidating activity to get into when you're heavier. Having someone to relate to will make it easier on many people! Really appreciate you taking the time to tune in, have a good day!
Absolutely, I remember running in the $20 shoes I found at the discount store - man my legs were WRECKED! Investing a little bit into proper running shoes made a major difference.
I used to think the expensive shoes were for just people wanting the newest, but I bought a pair of asics gel kayano, and noticed a huge difference , then I got brooks beast and loved those too, so now I pretty much get the top of the line shoe, I’m like 265 lbs so I need the cushion, I barely jog but walk fast and climb stairs, it’s worth it , treat ur feet to some good shoes , I’m gonna try those Nike ones he mentioned last , gonna try them next
I see some similarities with myself, weight wise, more walk fast than jog/run and I use Brooks Beast, love em....surprised the reviewer didn't mention them
After an intense research I decided on the Nike Zoomx Invincible which I've been using for some months now. The cushion is great, yet the downside is a lack of stability in the upper part. The very light and permeable material together with the significant and cushion induced height of the shoe result in a feeling of instability where my ankles feel loose and non-supported. As a result they get some work to do to balance it all out. Can well imagine that an enforced upper shoe would hold the feet in place delivering more stability.
Try lacing it up differently. There is a couple RU-vid videos on various methods of lacing up running shoes. I have a high upper bony foot so the traditional of criss cross lacing doesn't work for me. These videos helped immensely. Find yours.
I had a gap in my rotation since all my shoes are speed oriented, so I’ve had trouble keeping myself slow enough on easy days, I hate mushy midsoles but found a long run shoe that finally agrees with me in the Glycerin19. I’m a neutral runner (and very light weight) but even the neutral version is very stable, and of course now Brooks offers a mild stability version of their flagship neutral models such as the Launch and Glycerin. It’s $150 US but very comfortable, feels quite light compared to its plushest competitors, has a nice bouncy responsiveness for a cushion shoe so isn’t as energy sapping for me. You might want to get Brooks to send you this model to review since it’s evidently a huge improvement over the last iteration.
I'd like to try the Glycerin, I actually almost picked it up but had to choose between the Glycerin and Glide Ride 2 - went with GR2 :) You know, I've never had a company send me anything to review I'm not even sure how I would go about doing that! I (maybe naively) assumed that perhaps if a rep from a company comes across my work that they may reach out. Thank you again for tuning in!
You deserve to get some shoes sent to you, but I wouldn’t have any idea how that gets generated. I can see why you have to pick and choose if you’re footing the bill (pun intended!) but it might be worth reaching out to some of the most established brands. The worst that could happen is they decline, right?
Being a bit overweight and new to running; I believe I found my answers in this videos after literally watching so many videos of people recommending motion control shoes or stability shoes for people like me... I ran in motion control shoes for 5 min and I couldn't run again for one week... I think for someone who is new to running needs stability but more importantly needs a high cushion shoe to help him in the start
I have use Adidas, and Nike shoes when younger, and did not really liked any model on these brands, then I made a trip to New Balance, and they actually measured my feet and set me up with the 880v11... These are a heaven send! I still don't really like to run/jog, but now I am not suffering it... I want to cut down a tad more weight and then go to trail running, that looks way nicer than pavement roads
Hey man its my 1st year of running and zoomx definitely works, so far ive lost near 30 ibs in 3 months which is a huge deal for me. Thank you for this video its helped me alot.
How much are you running? I been doing about 7 miles a week. 1 mile mon wed fri and 2 mile slowly Tues and Thurs. I started at 274 now I'm 260lbs. Started at 14 min mile, now Im at sub 10. Like 9:53. Started in August.
I am over a 300 pound man that is also a healthcare worker on his feet 12+ hours a day. Oh, I wanted a good pair of shoes, so I first tried Brooks and they did not feel like they had much cushion and I was pressing through the cushion and standing on the ground. I exchanged them for hookah Bondi eight for the cushion however, at the 4 foot they were too narrow and I was actually stepping on the hard soul of the shoe. Then I tried the new balance walking shoes which are wide enough for my wide forefoot but again, they do not feel like they have very much cushion. I do not pronate at all and I have a neutral foot, but any review on overweight people talk about a stability issue for pronators, which I am not a pronation foot is very uncomfortable, because I am not a pronator. the Nike cushioning sounds great however, I have never in my life been able to wear Nike shoes because their toebox is too small and causes blisters on my small toe. I am not sure what other shoes to look at. I have been to the shoe store and tried on many different ones that was an actual running store and they measured my feet, etc., but that did not seem to help.
As a 200+ lbs runner, I personally love the Adrenaline GTS line. They feel stable and cushiony. When I swap out my out running pairs, I still use them for my everyday wear now. Love em. I tried the Brooks Glycerin's and I think they're a tad less cushiony than the Adrenaline's. I also took a chance on the Saucony Hurricane line...boy was I disappointed.
@@BrendonCamm Brendon, today I did my first long run in Nike Invincible. What an amazing shoe!!! I had never felt a shoe so confortable for long runs. Infinity for easy runs and Invincible for long run training!
An additional piece of advice you might offer is to have your foot checked before beginning to run because using a shoe for underpronators on a foot for over pronators and vice versa will cause a lot of pain
thank you for this video.... i am a heavy runners....i run only for lose weight ....i run easy running 3 km... please make video nike zoomx invisible vs hoka clifton 7 vs NB 1080 which one should i buy ......
@@BrendonCamm do you think my form will go back as it was when I lose the excess weight? Used to be a pretty neutral more mid foot runner. Don't know why I forefoot run and overpronate now🤷😂
@@LeeJCander Hey Lee! Sorry, just seeing this one now. It definitely could go back to how it was, my form was dramatically changed over the course of the years as my legs and ankles has gotten stronger :)
I am 260 Pounds. I was using Hoka One Arahi5 and it lasts upto 550 km, before the outsole is destroyed. I am an underpronate, my outer area in the shoes is always depleted. Agree with you on Hoka. Another is Asics Gel Kayano 27/28 also comfy to use. Agree also the Nimbus is super comfy. Now I use Nike Zoomfly % Tempo. The bounch is excellent, but I have heavy blistered on my heel...super blistered. I will try to use it to have breaking period, hope this Tempo % will work
I am a 5’5 and 178 lbs, ran a couple half marathons so far and the Brooks Glycerine definitely feels like a mistake it gets hard to run in those shoes after 8miles. I used the Brooks Adrenaline while training but they were old and so I was advices to swap it for the Glycerine. That did not work out for me . Going to get a Clifton or an Adrenaline next!!
nike pegasus trail 2 work best for me 220lbs. I bought them for adult softball felt so good started jogging in them . Testing the Asics glideride now , take some getting use to but are OK.
Hey Jw2par! I have the Peg Trail 3 and I've really been enjoying it. I can see how it would take some time to get used to the Glideride, it's a unique feeling shoe. Thanks for tuning in!
Great video! As a “well over 200lbs” runner, I started with a pair of Nike Downshifter 10s, which have been fine, but a little hard. I just ordered a set of Nike Pegasus 37 for a better, softer shoe, while still giving myself versatility as I grow. I’ve been running for a little over 3 months now and am running some pretty decent distances and ALMOST acceptable times, haha, but stability hasn’t been an issue with me since I grew up very athletic. What are your thoughts on the Pegasus 37? I haven’t heard anything but praise for them, and my set will be here in a couple days.
Hey Travis!! That's awesome that you've gotten into a running habit - it gets addicting. I haven't personally tried the Pegasus 37 but like you I have heard a lot of great praise for them. I think if the downshifter suited you well then the Peg should do a fantastic job, the way I understand it is that the peg is a more luxury version of the downshifer :) thanks so much for tuning in, I hope you enjoy your pegs!!
@@BrendonCamm Thanks for the response and encouragement! I know I’m going to eventually have a few different running shoes, and a ZoomX based shoe is next on my list. I just think the Pegasus 37 will be a really good all around shoe as I start adding more and more miles. When I start breaking 10k consistently, I’ll probably need to step it up to a softer, long distance shoe. My ultimate goes is to run ultras, eventually, so consistently adding mileage is my current goal!
@@DJBuckEQ I haven't ran in the Pegasus (I'm a Saucony gal, personally, and the Pegasus just didn't agree with my feet especially my narrow heel when I tried them on in a store) but they're an extremely popular shoe for the exact reason that they're very compatible with people just starting out not sure exactly what they want in a shoe, and versatile enough that people stick with them as the mileage workhorse in their rotations even when they have other shoes for more specific types of runs. From what people who have run in them have said, the Pegasus is capable of long training runs, you just wouldn't want to race anything long in them, or race anything in them, ideally, though maybe for a first race at a given distance focusing on completion rather than chasing PRs it might not be a big deal. As long as you don't do too much too soon too fast and replace them once the midsoles bottom out they should be fine for a while. As Brendon experienced, as well as I and many other runners, sometimes what works in a shoe today doesn't work tomorrow, whether it's due to having lost weight, deriving more strength from your body so that you can handle less stable platforms, imbalances or injuries that subtly alter your gait, collapsed arches in some cases, differences in the accommodations we need in a shoe as our bodies age and lose muscle mass, etc. Some people find themselves adjusting what type of heel-to-toe drop they run in. Some people find more stack height to be more unstable for them and want more ground feel. There are so many preferences because no two bodies are the exact same, and I find the best recommendations help with criteria in direct response to what a runner's issues are more often than pinpointing specific shoes (though certainly very helpful at times, just harder to nail). It sounds like the Pegasus meets a lot of your criteria, so here's to hoping they meet your expectations as well! Run in whatever makes you feel good while you're out there, enjoy the ride and figure out through experimentation what the limits of a particular shoe are for you, and go from there.
@@ielle. thank you for the informative post! I’ve put about 15 miles into the Pegasus so far and they’re breaking in nicely. Initially for whatever reason they caused a lot of muscle soreness along my calves, but I seem to have adapted and they’re pretty good right now. Ran a new single mile PR (probably more on me than the shoes, but they did well) and have been slowly building up the distance in them. They seem like mostly what I expected. Good all around shoes, but favoring faster running more than I expected. I might still need a slow, squishy shoe, but I’m fine for the time being! I’m sure I’ll continue to get used to them and break them in for a while longer, so I’ll probably have different thoughts on them next week! As for fit, they are a little tight in the toe box, but do fit, just not as loose as I like. Something for me to keep an eye on.
@@DJBuckEQ I'm glad it's working out for you so far! Nikes seem to run narrow in the toe box for a lot of people, for whatever reason. The Nike Free RN used to rub off the nail on my pinkie toe. Then again, it wasn't just an issue of narrowness, but I also hadn't sized up. Even a half size can be a big difference with regard to losing toenails, blistering, and the minor but annoying things that pop up. Soreness is really common early on and as you get more experience and the body adapts to the stress more your recovery will become quicker. Your calves are probably just not used to the stress being placed on them. When looking for your next shoe, I definitely wouldn't go with anything that has lower than an 8mm drop. The Pegasus is a 10mm drop, which is somewhat high but most shoes tend to have an 8-10mm drop. A lower drop will place more stress on the achilles, calves, ankles, basically the lower leg, muscles and tendons. A higher drop will place more stress on the joints like your hips and knees. So, basically, there's a trade-off, and when people have soreness consistently in particular areas, sometimes changing the drop of the shoe is a way of addressing it, redistributing the stress to the parts of that person's body which are better able to take the load on. For whatever reason, just having a 10mm drop shoe on my feet feels weird to walk or lightly jog in (never tried actually running in a 10mm due to this), but that may be because I land much more on my forefoot, whereas someone who runs more often on their rearfoot would do well with the extra heel cushion. If you were to ever develop hip and knee pain and think that it's not just errors in training but possibly due to footwear choice, that would be a time to look into lowering the drop. It's a matter of finding what works for you, and most beginners tend to have better luck with higher drop shoes because their lower leg hasn't developed a lot of strength. There's more info here, if you're interested: runrepeat.com/guides/heel-to-toe-drop If you're looking for a slow and squishy shoe that wasn't mentioned in this video, I know that Saucony's Triumph is a really popular recovery (slow) shoe for getting in the miles. It's said to be extremely plush and with an 8mm drop it would be only a small difference from the 10mm drop your legs are getting used to. I haven't run in it myself, and can't see myself trying it any time soon because it's also said to not be so great breathability-wise and it's only about to get hotter over the next several months, but I figure I'll probably try it at some point as my goal is to start doing 70 mpw later this year and I'll need to be even more protective of my legs to do that. Within Nike, I know the Invincibles are a popular shoe, but then you can just refer to Brendon's video on this point lol. A lot of people love the ZoomX midsole. Those are a 9mm drop, so similar to the Pegasus you've been using in that regard.
For heavy runners I'd recommend no less than 36mm heal. I find that with 32 mm I'm compressing the heal fully when I run. So Nike ZoomX Invincibles is my go to. As for it feeling a little sloppy on top I'd recommend going on RU-vid and seeing the different lacing methods to help lock them down. I have a high bony Arch on top of my foot so the traditional crisscross method didn't work for me. Anyway great review and looking forward to getting the Next % Vaporfly or something with 38-40mm heal. Oh and 2 mm equals roughly one US nickel in width.
I’m wondering the same. I haven’t found any info on the New Balance FuelCell SC’s. A lot of small runners say they are unmatched. I don’t want to pay that much unless they are built for big guys too lol.
I started running months aga as to have an alternative for my road biking (a year ago hobby). I only got 2 Ultraboost as my running shoes (weekly midweek run). May friends were telling me to try the On Cloud brand, but my brother who is a runner telling me otherwise - go for Hoka, Saucony, or Brooks. When I saw your video, I might go for Hoka Clifton 7. By the way, I'm from 83kg down to 76kg and planning to keep it down more!
Hey Nel! Congrats on the fantastic progress!! I definitely think the Clifton 7 would be better than any On shoe. I personally have never tried an On shoe that works for me, they're just too firm! Thanks so much for tuning in :)
I just found your channel. Congrats on your fitness transformation. Could you do a video on your whole process of starting to exercise when you were maximum out of shape, and how long it took you to really notice progress and the pace of your progress as you lost 10, 30, 50, and over 100 pounds? By the way, I have the New Balance 1080v10. I love the extra foam cushioning. It’s my favorite shoe that I’ve ever run with so far.
Hey Iakona! I think that sounds like a fantastic video idea, I'll take some time and try to remember the details of the journey and make a video :) Happy to hear the 1080v10 works out for you!! If it works, it works. Thanks so much for tuning in!
I went to Fleet feet and got my feet and gait analyzed. As I lose weight I do it from time to time to see if my feet and/or gait have changed. I almost ALWAYS end up with some type of Saucony. Occasionally ASICS. But for some reason my feet don’t like Brooks at all.
I've just started trying to lose some weight on the treadmill, I'm not running just yet but doing more and more each time I try. The last pair of shoes I bought is already warn out after only 2 times on the tread mill, so about 14km. That's why I'm here 😅😅 There's nothing worse then when you know your body can do more, but it's your feet that stop you.
at 6'5" and 290 I am shocked the triumph or hurricane didnt make it in before nibus or adrenaline. Both are more cushion and more energy return while staying stable.
Same suggestion for #1 now that 2 years has passed or different shoe now? About to start running again and about 30 lbs overweight. Money is not an issue. Thanks!
I feel the same way about the adrenaline. I used to only run in it for years but when they got up to the 17th model I was never comfortable in them and still haven’t been to this day. They always hurt my arch for some reason now. Clifton is a great shoe but I never feel stable in it. It’s so plush and comfortable though.
Hey Ripley! Yeah, the adrenaline hasn't been the same for me for the last few versions. Have you tried the Hoka Arahi? That has a similar feel to the Clifton but has added stability! Thanks for tuning in :)
@@BrendonCamm I need to try it! I might order it soon just to give it a go. I think that even though i only mildly pronate my feet crave that stabile feeling yet I also want that plush cushioning which isn’t that common with stability shoes. Arahi seems like a good idea. Thanks! 😃
Hey Kori! Yeah, it's quite the polarizing shoe. I'm one of the people that love it, but for the price of the shoe if someone doesn't absolutely love it then should definitely be sent back!!
Great Video and Thank you Brendon, I have started to do walks due to gaining lots of weight and diagnosed with Type 2 as well and slowing trying to get back to running. Looking to get Hoka Shoes and will keep posted of how my journey goes. A question is there anything I can do for shin splints.
Hi Niroshan! Looking forward to hearing updates about your journey :) For shin splints, I found that as I lost weight the less frequent I would experience pain from shin splints. I also started doing a warm up before my run, and doing foam rolling/stretching - I'm not sure if those things prevented the shin splints but they seemed to help me :)
@@vern815 Hi vern815 sorry to hear and I am sure you can reverse type 2, I ended up with Hoka Clifton 8, Been good I got 2 pairs. So far with diet and exercise manage to knock of 5kg and going.
Im 200lbs which isn't huge but I just can't beat my nike peg 36 trails, not to be confused with the peg 36 road as they have a completely different feel and fit. I returned my invincibles even though I got them with 25%off, they were undoubtedly comfy just just too squishy for me. I am going to try the NB fuel cell rebel 2 but for now my pegs simply won't be beat despite trying at least 4 other shoes.
Hey Paul! If it works, then it just works!! I can definitely see how you might not like the invincible as it's INSANELY squishy. I just got the notification that my Rebel 2 is on the way, can't wait to try that one out. Thanks so much for tuning in, keep on enjoying those Peg 36 trails!
I do 40 mins incline treadmill to lose fat. I unfortunately heel strike I tried the nimbus 25 and still have pain What shoe or insole can you recommend.
Hey Filip! Thanks for tuning in. Loved your 100mi alphafly update, I may need to pick that up eventually but it's soooo insanely priced. Have a good one!
Enjoyed your review. Spot on with stability shoes being too firm. I'm a heavier runner and love the Nike Invincible Run. Only one issue,I bought a second pair a few weeks after my first and for some reason the Zoom X feels different, not as squishy ,a lot firmer. Any idea why this might be the case?
Hmmm I've heard that from some others as well. I'm not entirely sure why that would be the case... Very interesting though. May have to explore that for a video! Thanks for tuning in :)
Love the video! Any chance you have links for these in Canada? I'm unfamiliar with these brands and they don't seem to appear in some known stores. Thanks!
I’m a big dude and LOVE the Brooks Adrenaline line. But if you can find 20s they’re better than 21s. If you don’t need a stability shoe it wouldn’t be the greatest BUT most of us big guys over probate pretty badly.
Man i need help in losing weight i love your transformation beautiful. What advice would you give to someone whos 360 pounds and starting to run. Best discipline workout route. Thank you
Thank you for this. Which ones would you say are the best for long distance walking? I am 286 lbs and currently using Ultraboosts but find that I am limited to 10km with them. I am hoping to try a different kind of shoe.
So great youre helping overweight pips start living actively towards running. BUT research says thicker soles have more negative impact on your joints, ligaments, muscles etc because, to explain quickly, on how your muscles adapt to the dynamic force that impacts your legs because of how the soles distribute the force. But...i may be wrong in my interpretation of the science so i guess you can read up on the medical journals available.
A lot of these brands are not available in my country and i need something for treadmill jogs and gym workouts. What do you think about the puma nitro line, the nike pegasus and adidas adios?
Great video and great channel ...on my feet holding pads for fighters as full time job ...want the most cushioned shoe but with some bounce and rebound ...using bondi 6 which is super soft but not much return also swap them with boost 20 which are great too ....would the invincible be soft but give me enough rebound to give me a pep in my step ??? Now retired from fighting left with 2 knee recos and pins in my foot so want SUPER soft but help me bounce around the ring a little easier
Hey! So sorry for the late reply. I think the invincible would be the perfect shoe if you're looking for soft with rebound, that's what it's best at. Such a fun shoe. Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in, let me know if you end up getting them!
Hey Manuel! I think the bondi would do the job as well, I just hasn't personally tried it so couldn't include it on the list :) let me know if you try it and enjoy it! Thanks for taking the time to tune in man.
Hey Dionisis! I haven't really found any adidas shoes that have worked for me. I'm sure they have shoes that work for a lot of people, but I like a bit of a softer shoe and the foam adidas use is a bit more firm! Thanks for tuning in :)
Hi Brendon thanks for your review and I am 6’1 with 242 pound weight, normally doing some intervals and looking to get back in shape. So have tried the Nike Pegasus 38 or 39? Do u think they will be good ? Thank u
Brendon . I am about 40 lbs overweight and I want to start running again. Would the shoes that you recommend in you're videos , be able to run on treadmill as well l.
I second the recommendation on NB 1080v10 & Invincible! Currently trying out the Triumph 18, & Mach 4 (is a great alternative of Clifton). I hear the Glycerin 19 & NB fresh foam more v3 are 👌 as well. Lots of great options. Find one that works for you. 😀
I'm really looking forward to trying the FF More v3, definitely sounds like a shoe right up my alley! There are so many great options out there right now, testing various shoes to find what works for you is all part of the fun :) Thanks so much for tuning in Scotty! Have a great day.
Make sure you try the NB Fresh Foam More V4’s, nice improvements. I received mine today and....just enough to be perfect softness (softer than my Hoka 8’s). I wonder what you think of the NB SC’s for heavier runners? I don’t want to pull the trigger based off of “skinny” runners lol j/k.
Hey i was wondering what you would recommend out of these shoes for working long hours? I work 12 hour shifts and walk anywhere from 9k-13k steps a shifts depending on how busy i am and ive been wearing ultraboosts since February and i think i need something different when i get out of work everything hurts from my hips down so if you could give me a recommendation id really appreciate it! And good for you for losing all that weight you look great 😀
Hey Tyler! That's a long day on your feet. It really depends on the type of shoe you need, if you need some more stability maybe try looking at the Hoka Arahi or Asics Kayano, another good option if you don't need stability might be the Hoka Clifton! Those shoes have a bit of a softer feeling under foot and might be good for relieving some of the pressure on you :) I hope that helps!
Hey! I haven't tried the Winflo actually, maybe I'll have to give it a try :) If it's working for you then absolutely go for it! Thanks so much for tuning in!
So I got the Hoka Clifton shown here for Christmas and there's a harder part in the mid foot that digs into the side of my arch, making it pretty unacceptably uncomfortable. I feel bad because they look and otherwise feel great, but I don't want my feet to be dug into
I know what you mean actually. Hoka shoes can be very narrow fitting and dig into the arches. I hope you're able to find a new option for you! I'd check out the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 :)
I have a question, I run with some MND Equipment shoes which are definitely not running shoes and I've been having sharp knee pain to the point where i have to stop running. I am looking for a pair or two of actual running shoes and so I've been researching A LOT on running shoes and honestly there's so many options. I don't train or race but I do run daily about 7k or more and it's usually on concrete, cement, and sometimes on light off trails. What brand and model would you recommend me? I need something good but don't have knowledge of how other running shoes feel Thanks in advance🙏🏼
Hey Joseph! There are so many options it can be overwhelming. There are a few that come to mind, Nike Pegasus 37/38 is a pretty good option to just get out there and do some miles. If you want something with a bit more cushion and feels soft underfoot take a look at the Hoka Clifton 7/8. Both of those are pretty good options for something that just wants to get out there and do some miles. Both are decently priced and should last you a few months :) I hope that helps!
Hey Yodito, so sorry for the late reply. Of those two, the NovaBlast 2 is much more versatile so if you're only getting one shoe for all of your runs I'd go with that!
Hi Barry, id recommend looking for something new. The foam will degrade over time and be unable to deal with the impact as well which could lead to some additional soreness, fatigue or injury.
@@BrendonCamm Yeah, I bought them when I lived in a town (street use) and live rural now so really need to get something trail orientated (and waterproof uppers)...I suppose I could use them in my "journey" and wear them with my cycling Seal Skinz thin socks but only for speed/power walking in until I can do maybe 8 miles fast paced... if they're no good for running the lower impacts of walking may be ok. (5'7" and 195lb...but I cycle 4-500 miles a month!) TBH I'm kinda scared to run at this weight for fear of picking up an injury that then affects my cycling!
Hi Brendon - I ran marathons over 15 years ago when I was much younger, lighter, and more fit. Even back then I was a 190 lb. guy who wore Asics Kayanos. I'm looking to get back into running again, and it seems like all of the shoe reviews value marshmallow softness and light weight, but I am concerned that a shoe that is too spongy will just raise my center of gravity and have my foot displacing a lot of foam in unwanted directions. At what point is a shoe too plush for a heavy runner, or am I asking the wrong question?
Hey John! That's a great question, I don't have a really good answer for it unfortunately. I personally think it comes down to personal preference and your biomechanics. For me, if a shoe is just too squishy and doesn't have any type of support I can't wear it because my ankles/feet are too weak and it causes other muscles to overcompensate. I like a shoe that is relatively soft, but not extremely flexible. A shoe that comes to mind that you may want to look at if you don't want extreme softness is the Nimbus Lite 2, that's a shoe with a nice wide base so it's a little more stable and the foam isn't really soft!
All the shoes I have had been colapse on the heel in very short time. If I find any information about shoes that have a solid and strong sole, it turns out to be impossible to buy them because they are only in very small sizes. This is a nightmare. I'll be barefoot soon.
Hi...New to the Running Here. Which Shoes would you Guys recommend for Heavy Jogger , Wide and Flat Footed?!??!?!?! Also I'm on the Highway so something that Isn't A offroad type of Shoe. After Having my daughter a fee months Ago I Had A TON of swelling in my feet so looking for something Extra Comfy. Thanks.
