Loving mine. They have everything I need for my daily runs. I am a neutral runner, but the guidance system in these is so subtle, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Just received my Foreveruns, taken out for 1 walk. Well cushioned under the heel. I bought the orange colour, wasn't prepared for how bright it was. Right heel slips a bit, hard to lock down. Left rubs under the ankle, no damage though. Received 40% discount from Clark's in Canada.
This shoe has been on my radar for a little while and was definitely looking forward to Meaghan's opinion on this shoe's cush for easy/recovery days. Still undecided! Lol
I think this shoe is great. The fit is really nice, very contoured. Grip is 10/10, cushion is decent but not crazy. I prefer this as a recovery day shoe since the stability help my lower leg muscles relax a bit. Next iteration I'd like to see a heel bevel that is a bit more lateral and a little bit more rockered sole.
Too much cut-away in the medial arch area for my feet to feel stable, at all. Maybe it depends on the individuals feet, but my feet are just diving inward over that puzzling chasm. I can see how the wide FOREfoot platform helps stability, but the medial midfoot is strangely opposite-world. I get much more stability from the truly wide platform of something like my NB More V3, even though it's not really categorized for "stability." My feet are not narrow. I can feel that this FRN is very cushy, I just don't get how anybody thinks "stable".
Any plans to review the new Liberate Nitro? When I first pulled the Forever Run out of the box I said "Oh it's Puma's version of the Nike Invincible". That was not the case at all! I found the Forever run to be a much more enjoyable shoe for me. Better fit, more comfortable, and more responsive but still giving me great cushion. I've developed some metatarsal/sesmoid issues and the Forever Run is the best shoe for me at the moment.
I don't know why but this shoe hurt my big toe. I even go up half a size but still it's the same. It's wide in the middle and top but not at the toe. Also the 10mm drop is not for everyone.
I don't think they mentioned the 'metatarsal pad' smack in the middle of the insert, which is one of the shoe's weirder features. this shoe is so clunky and firm compared to velocity 2 ... I'm hoping that it breaks in somewhat ... right now I'd trade it in for another velocity.. or two. I also find that you have to really crank the laces to prevent slipping around at the heel, to the point of cutting off circulation. pretty long too so sizing down might be worth considering.
Tempus all day. It's 4 Oz lighter per pair with better foam. The 860 is much more traditional stability with the medial posting. The Tempus is the clear winner unless you need aggressive correction of the medial posting in the 860.
I always buy two and keep the one that’s fits better. On the same boat as you. I usually go with feel. Saucony’s I wear 11.5. Got about 10 miles on mine, so far so good. Took about 2 runs to break in. Ps I always buy black so my wife doesn’t notice any new shoes 😊
@believeintherun it’s a tunnel dirt/concrete shoe where I am in INDONESIA. the color sticks out when I’m hiding from my wife and government. But the outsole help me hide on trails and inside tunnels.
