I’ve been daily running in the New Balance Rebel V2 and V3’s for the past 1000 miles and they’ve been incredible.

Rotating between Boston 12 and Hoka Mach 5 for long vs easy runs and I'm very happy with both!

Mach 5s all the way, done over 800k in mine and they’re still going strong, I’ve used them for easy runs, long runs, tempos, intervals, max effort park runs and a half marathon. If you can't afford to buy multiple shoes to rotate for specific purposes these can do it all.

I’m currently using the puma velocity nitro 2 for my long runs and recovery runs so far so good 💪

Great video. You guys rock! I always come to you (and Kofuzi and Sportitude) for all my learnings. Hoka Mach 5 for me.

If you're looking to potentially sprain your ankle, go with the Invincible 3... Great pick.

Mach 5 also available in a wide fit which is a massive bonus 🙌

Favourite daily is the Mach 5, but the Topo Cyclone 2 is a worthy replacement. I'm really enjoying the Cyclone 2.

Thanks, Gents. It's the Speed 3 for me; although, I can't use it for easy pace runs because it makes me run faster than I want to.

Thanks, really appreciate the insight

rotating between the brooks adrenaline 23 for trainers and the Saucony endorphin pro for speed work. Training for the philly half marathon.

For me, it is the Brooks glycerin 20 for me. I just like to take long walks in it 😂

Be great if you’s could try and review the new RAD R-1 running trainers. Pretty new brand and their training shoes are amazing - be good to see what yous think of their first running shoe

Perfectly synced with Kieran's top daily trainers picked this year, done 500km with Mach 5 as a daily trainer and the shoes just feel right across all training sessions with different paces and it's definitely light, agile, bouncy, and relatively affordable; in the meantime bought Speed 3 at US$105 and the shoes just excel at everything you expect it to perform and no doubt my daily trainer for upcoming training for marathon end of 2023. As always appreciated all Run Testers reviewers for the individual buying guide shared!

My favorite is the Endorphin Speed. Super light shoe which makes me feel swift and easy despite being 6"3 and 90 kg. It can be used for tempo, race and easy runs. It makes you want to go fast without a carbon plate and at a affordable price like mentioned in the video. Either version of the Speed are great.

I agree love this shoes but Endorphin speed is « fragile » if i compare with a Nike Pegasus for example. And the cushioning is too soft to be used as a daily shoes if u want to have a strong foot… it reduces the work of the muscles of the foot.

Thanks for including Jane in this video, her review and descriptions were both very detailed, honest and very helpful, so thankyou. I also like well cushioned shoes and after a few foot injuries and plantar fasciitis I am now looking for a new shoe to get me back into running. I have high arches, wide foot, but need a neutral shoe. I was looking at Hoka Bondi 8, and Saucony endorphin speed 3 or 4 due to high levels of cushioning, I have the older Hoka clifton 7 but it is not cushioned enough for running and creates pain in my ball of foot, can you possibly offer any suggestions that I may not of considered ? Thanks and have a great day!

Superblast for my everything! I run to work with it and back home running with it. Treadmill, road, and I even match with casual dresses and skirts and it looks so good!🥰Thank you for the brilliant reviews guys!❤️

300 miles on my Endorphin Speed 3. Great shoe and I’ve enjoyed it although I have found it fits a little wide and a bit short. The foam has also started to lose its form so they’ve been replaced by a pair of Superblasts. These have been a revalation. They are as,if not more, fun to run in than the ES3, fit my foot better and feel more comfortable.

Nick had the best two. The Superblast and Boston are great IMO. I like the Mach5 also, but just not plush enough for me.

Mach 5 is my go to daily trainers. Novablast (not superblast) is my slow recovery run. Pegasus 39 is my more “off road” runner not quite trail but not road either. Cloud monster is my inbetween “off road” and recovery shoes. My race shoe is my endorphin speed 3. So so light and bouncy. It’s a rapid shoe. Literally knocks seconds off my races.

I tried on a Saucony E. Speed 3 and Hoka Mach 5 at REI recently. Absolutely loved the Speed 3’s feeling on foot. Tried on the Mach 5, absolutely hated the stiff upper and overall feel. I didn’t even bother giving them a stroll around the store. I walked out with the Speed 3 ✌️

the super blast looks good but i am scared away from asics because the nimbus 25 killed my toe nails with the narrow toe box. as some one who likes to do 30klm runs i have been using the triumph. they are stable long lasting and dissapear on your feet, the foam is very firm though and it would be nice to have something that also light up under 3.90k pace

Endorphin Speed is the do it all daily trainer and all time favorite and best value for $ currently. It had me at hello, it has me now and the foreseeable future.

if you could handle the stack height and find a good price, get the prime x instead. i have the superblast and midsole feels like a regular eva but lighter

Superblast 💯

Which Daily Trainer would you recommend for a rather heavy runner (95kg at 189cm)? I'm a neutral runner tending to supinate a little bit. I was eyeing up the Hoka Cliftons, but am not quite sure though.

I tried the Boston 12 in store and I found that the lateral side of the heel was not level with the medial side (lateral side was not touching the ground), making it I guess not very stable at the heel.. Is it safe for a heel striker? All my shoes have significant wear on those lateral heel sides.. thanks

I vote Superblast for over 10M & Mach 5 for under 👌👌

Do your ankles fall in when you are running, do thick padded soles make the ankles less stable?

Kinda feel like the Novablast is more of the daily trainer offering from ASICS.

Mach 5 for this guy!

The Topo Cyclone 2 shreds the Hoka Mach 5 in every way. It's a lot lighter. The full-length Pebax foam is, of course, more responsive. The flexibility makes it versatile for slow or fast runs. The wide base and low stack gives it just enough stability. Topo makes one of the best uppers in the industry with the Cyclone 2 being no different. The outsole is certainly more durable than the Mach 5. Unless Topo sends the Cyclone 2 to the Run Testers free for testing they won't review them. No disclaimer at the beginning of their video on how they obtained their shoes. If anything, just to be transparent so we can judge for ourselves. I'll still watch, however, but with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The Mach 5 is a boring shoe to run in tbh. I can see why it would appeal as a no nonsense daily trainer. But the lack of durability means no one should be recommending these.

The Mach 5 stands the test of time

i find hard to understand what is actually a daily trainer. nobody runs everyday except for the elite runners, but even if you would run daily, it would be a different type of runs (easy run, recovery, intervals, tempo, long runs) each of these type of runs has a best shoes for it. So what do we mean by daily trainers? easy run shoes? I understand nick is a really fast runner (respect :)), but for me, I don't understand the superblast for easy run, it is too stiff and not forgiving enough when my legs are all beaten up. Of course it is all personal and nothing really matters as far as we all run happily without getting injured.

Don’t worry, they will last you for several weeks….

Could you please consider making your videos consistent, with no mirrored recordings? Or flip all mirrored video when producing the final videos? It's disorienting and awkward to have some of the videos flipped, with text reversed on the shoes you are holding up. I think the consistency would make the videos that much more immersive (the reversed text trips up my brain and takes away focus), and best serve your content in providing informative recommendations and opinions. Not a big deal, but if it's as easy as running segments through a video processing app and none of your team would have any objection, I think that would be a nice improvement. Thanks!
