Prefer the lighter eclipse I think

My next max shoe will be the superblast hopefully

I did my first run in these day. I'm a heavy (and old) runner, so I try and do most of my runs in a shoe that gives me a bit of cushioning. Novablast 1-3 were great (4 not so much) and the Invincible Runs were great - but did't last more than 350km for me. It's a tall shoe and when you first put them on, you feel the height. I was surprised that I didn't feel that super soft bounce that the Invincible Runs have, it's much firmer and more controlled. Once you set off (and I'm a solid 6:30/km easy runner) the mechanics of the foams and plate kick in and I noticed I was running a little faster at a lower HR. I did about 9km in it and finished feeling pretty good. I take an 11 too and have a fairly wide foot. I found the toe box ok, but a little cramped in the middle, but not uncomfortable, but just aware of the shoe at the end of the run. Pretty happy with it, looking forward to breaking it in some more.

I actually love the elf heel.. its the best feature of any shoe that you could wear for everyday use.. I can slip in to all my elf heel shoes without untying the shoe or even need to use my hands. It just slips your feet in. This isnt even relaterad to running lol. Just a neat everyday feature

Great review Ed! I got the Hoka Cielo X1 recently, and that is my surprise shoe of the year (despite the horrendous laces). Hoka is now back on my radar, but this sounds like a more nerfed PXS V2, which I am gonna pass (The PXS V2 is heavy enough already).
