For years I had been invested in the Boston shoe companies that had gotten me to the Boston Marathon every year (NB, Puma-US, Reebok, Saucony, Topo), and I ignored every other shoe companies. One day, while walking by a running shoe store, I noticed through the window that they had both the Sky Paris and the Edge Paris. For giggles, I asked to try on both pairs. I figured, why not see what all the hype about cadence runner versus stride runner was all about. Anyhoo, I ran around the block in both. Then I ran with the Edge on one foot and the Sky on the other. Then I switched feet. After this experiment, the Sky Paris felt the best for me. Long story short, I used the Sky Paris for the next race and ran yet another BQ. Moreover, my performance metrics showed that I had worked with less effort for the same gain. So, great shoe.

Thx for keeping it real bro. Your disclosure, your bpm on every set and your heavy breathing made me believe your effort. A lot of guys in here they run 22km every day and then they record them after the run and they are fresh as come out of the shower.

Love that you give the caveat upfront that everyone is different when it comes to shoes but here’s what you experienced. Great stuff

Great review. Alphafly 3 and Endorphin Elite still seem to be the consensus top marathon super shoes but Paris definitely in the mix.

Agreed, the endo elite is just such a great shoe, for me it tops them all

Thanks for the video. How do you think the Sky Paris stacks up against the Vaporfly 2 for a road 5k?

Have you tried Edge Paris? I seem to pick those for sessions/intervals while I use the Sky Paris for long run with workout in between.

I do, by far the best racing shoes i’ve tried. Tho i have yet to try the Alphafly 3 but im just loving these Paris editions, i might just stick with them. Edge Paris feels like a higher stack Vaporfly 2. Last week I just got the Adios Pro 3(my first adidas shoe), i really love them, feels way more comfortable than Sky Paris but the drawback is that they’re heavier. I might just stick to the Sky Paris for GoldCoast marathon. 😅

You like these over the Saucony pro4?

@@DaveTheRunner Yea so do I. I actually think last year pro3's are better than pro4's. The pro4's are solid but aren't as good as the aforementioned.

Any idea on super shoes for people with flat feet? Or do people just push through in neutral shoes come race day?

I would recommend the saucony endorphin elite possible, I’ve got quite flat feet and they feel good
