Thanks for the algo love Matthias

Not the ShoeTuber we deserve, but definitely the one we need! Thanks for the HONEST review and revisit. You confirmed what i suspected and as a taller heavier runner this doesn't sound like it'll work for me like the V1 did. Maybe if I need a tempo short run workout shoe, but then again other options out there. The V1 was unique and loved most things about it. A tweak to it would've been nice but a total redesign just baffles me. Like take a best selling luxury SUV and next year keep the name but make it a sports sedan. Total head scratcher.. Rant over. Keep up the great work Andrew! I might not belive in the run anymore but I believe in you! Hahaha

Thanks Nick. That’s all I need !

I have the Deviate Nitro 2 (not elite) and I really like the Nitro foam and the PumaGrip. I'm mostly using them for shorter runs now as I find I like something with a wider base for longer runs when my form might be breaking down more. I always click on your videos because, even if it's a topic (or shoe) I'm not that interested in, I know it will be entertaining.

Good video. I find my V2’s are pretty nice to pick up the pace in. They are so so at slower speeds. Also, the outsole on mine are really beat up after 150 miles. I’m into the foam in a few spots already.

Multiple reviewers have also discussed the durability issues, sometimes with the outsole, sometimes with the foam losing its bounce.

Yes my v1 were true to size. Some people had trouble with the lockdown (stretchy upper) but I did not. If anything it would be too loose rather than too tight

Hi do you usually have issues with overpronation? Or just in these shoes? Thanks

@MidLifeRunner

6 ай бұрын

I don’t usually have issues with over pronation. These collapse in a way that irritates my shins over time (long runs or walking). Seth James demoor did a really good review on it also. He said v1 foam was more dense and added more stability and I agree

I have very similar views on this shoe. I started out loving it on my first couple of runs. I’m now at 60 miles and wore them again yesterday and wanted to thrown them out after the run. I feel like I’m fighting the shoe. Its too squishy and unstable and I dont notice any benefit from the plate. I feel really sluggish in the shoe and hard to pick up the pace in it. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the Superblast as my main shoe this year but I just cant seem to get along with the SC V2

@MidLifeRunner

11 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing. My main take away is that I need to buy the Superblast - errr - Asics needs to send me some shoes!

Tried so hard to love em, just couldn't. The day I had a 90 min long run and didn't wear em because I didn't trust them, I knew it was the end. I only lasted about 60 miles. Boston 12 has been a welcomed replacement for me. Does all the runs I hoped these did.

I saw a good review from run doctors on Boston 12 v kinvara pro. Said Boston 12 was solid long run shoe, especially if you are going to have mixed paces . Aka the spicy long run

Totally agree about the pace. Good for fast running. Easy and recovery impossible being to soft and unstable..

@@MidLifeRunner I stopped using it. I have enough fast shoes. I run a PB 8K in them BUT had bad back pain for a couple of days after. Never suffer from back pain so it's the protected feeling in the legs let you push harder up the chain to the weakest point... For Tempo runs they are just heavy. Why run in a heavy clunky shoe when for the same price in run in the New Balance SC Elite V3.. By the way.. The Elite V3 excellent also for slow long runs.

@@i.p2088 elite 3 is one of my favorites and I got it on sale cheaper than sc trainer v2. It makes sense about your back. I was using them for longer intervals and the Takumi sen for shorter ones but honestly , like you said the shoe gets heavy deep into the workout

Thanks for algo love

Did 2 runs in them. I have the New Balance SC Elite V3 as well.. The SC Trainer V2 is heavy... I really feel the weight going uphill and in a long run. Despite the review I find it very stable in the heel. Grip on gravel quit terrible and you collect huge rocks in the outsole and need to stop to take out. Bounce is very good and I can understand why some might find the front unstable. I am a heel striker and it just works. Upper very roomie but I need to do a heel lock to keep it tight.

@MidLifeRunner

Thanks for the feedback. I do like the lockdown. And the room up front. It’s heavy but for me it felt lighter because I ran in them after running in v1 for comparison. And v1 is super heavy

It’s great I use it daily it’s a daily trainer not a race day shoe ran some half marathons in it no problem the heel also why you heel striking I don’t get it and why would you wear a carbon plate shoe casually I thanks but I love mine

I am unaware. Down here in Texas we have a Puma outlet between Austin and San Antonio but they only have a few running shoes , not sure they have the elites. The v1 feel true to size for me. Snug . Not sure it’s very super. You’re not missing out on anything -after my first run. I’ll make an initial thoughts in a couple of weeks

It took me the first run to realize this shoe wasn’t good for me, I gave the sc trainer a second chance and nop, this pair is now on the shelf
