I just returned these :/ Mostly enjoyed them but felt that these and the Boston 12 felt too similar, and I preferred the softer feel I was getting from the Boston versus the firmness of the Mach.
Thanks for the review 👍
Saucony all the way!!
For me, it comes down to the upper. It's a make or break for me to have a flexible upper. Adidas typically doesn't have them. The Speed series for Saucony, IMO, is the 2nd best upper. The only thing better for me is the Noosa Tri 15/16. If the upper is not flexible, it won't ever be comfortable for me. Just how the cookie crumbles, I guess.
If you have wide feet you should check out topo shoes
Thank you for mentioning the toebox. Saucony is noted for having a narrow toe box and on the left side as well. I sized up and got some relief. I've had the Speed 2 and thinking of upgrading to speed 4 for an upcoming Half Marathon. Let me listen to the rest of your review.
What about the size, did you go true to size? I went for my usual size but I feel them kinda loose
I’ve been occasionally for the last ten years , but never cared of shoe technology etc. Not till I bought Adi Boston 12, that’s a totally new level. I had Brooks, Hoka, Mizuno, Nike and other shoes before, mostly for trainings, did a few of half marathons, but now I aim for more this October in Cologne in Germany with my Boston shoes. They are black-yellow-pink, personalized with my motto on Latin with golden letters and I feel myself like a greek goddes when I’m running!😂 So i’m biased too. Apropo technology- i heard that Adi does not use carbon plates but carbon wire.. is it true?
Best all around running shoe imo
@@deks440 I’m beginning to agree 👍🏾
Actual fire music picks, love me some slum village too
@@nrgwkfbf9950 if you kno you kno. & you definitely kno! Appreciate it!
Thanks for the vid man. I really needed an idea on what to get.
Glad I could help!!
Lets go man love it!!
Much appreciated man!!
Honestly, it feels a bit heavy due to the plate position, it felt I need to replace this shoe (Saucony ENDORPHIN SPEED 4). I still feel the Endorphin Speed 3.
Did you replace them?
I run with the Saucony Triumph 20. Good midsole, not too mushy, but the only flaw is that the heel feels a bit wobbly/unstable. I should have gotten the Saucony Ride 17. Same midsole tech, less stack height so not quite as bouncy, but a bit roomier upper and a more stable ride with a more stable heel.
Would you recommend the Triumph 20?
@@OffseasonProjects I think that the midsole material and cushioning is very good and if you never heel strike, then you probably won’t notice the heel instability. I do run in the Triumph 20. If price is not a consideration, I think that the Saucony Ride 17 is better for me. It feels a little more comfortable and spacious in the upper fit, and the heel is more stable. Only difference in midsole is a little less bounce because Triumph 20-21 has more stack height. The next shoe I want to try is the Topo Specter 2 which should be out mid-August. I also would like to try the Mount to Coast S1. For a shoe with good stability, outsole grip good enough for light trail running, and cushioning that you can use for daily training or any kind of running workout, walking, gym workouts, etc. I recommend Mizuno Wave Rider 25-28. They are all pretty similar and older models can be found at big discount. I’ve seen them for $60 new online. Very versatile shoe. Go up about a half size because the upper size can run a bit narrow.
It’s always good to see an assessment of a running shoe, that’s different, than virtually everyone else.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Good Stuff
Glad you enjoyed
Much better sound quality with the mic.
Appreciate it!
I was waiting for Yowana style hotel hallway test run. By the way, the sound volume in your videos is always low. I have to crank it up to hear you speak and then, bam (commercial) or soundrack. Most video editors have sound boosting options for speech. The music is normal volume level.
@@troutjunkie7330 😂😂 & the feedback is much appreciated! I’ll definitely work on the audio.
I got 3 pairs 1 wide and 2 regular, ile probly sell one of them, I can run in these 60-70% of the time but not all the time i tend to get shin splint when i only wear those
@@humbertomanteiga yeah I feel you, I definitely agree we should be rotating shoes.
How you find the SB with 50% sale ?
@@user-sx8rv5pz7u local run store! Check yours out

@@caleballen8862 hahah ST Pete!
Too good to be true. Likely a fake 🧐🤞
could be! lol
Holy moly 50% off? I wish we have that promo in Ph
Good shoe very comfortable, but I couldn’t pick up pace in it. Recovery runs in the shoe is awesome legs feel great after any run.
@@adrainawls after a few runs I’m beginning to agree with you.
let me quess, USA only again? :)
Nice find for 50% off, haven't seen this one on sale even once ... Good shoe imo BUT its over hyped tbh. Well protective and good for bigger runners - do not bottom out in long over 3h runs - feels same through whole run. A bit slipery in wet and looks on feet like huge boat but at least dont feel clunky some how ...
SB2 fixes all that
Gift me brother ❤
lol!
Too narrow for me...
@@jrmendez0720 what are you running in now?
@@OffseasonProjects Asics Novablast 4 for daily runs and Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 for races
Still debating on the New Balance Rebel V4 and the Adidas Adizero SL2 for my tempo/interval sessions.
Good review, but you spent over 5mins talking about this review without actually reviewing anything. 🤣🤣. You must have been nervous because I've done the same thing. Or you weren't quite sure where you should start and lean in. Fun!!.. But seriously, keep up the good work; let me know if I can help ;) I can't wait to see your next video. You got this!
@@buddymack 😅😅 when there’s a 300 word requirement but you only have 150. & I appreciate that man, I’ll get better. Thanks for being here!
I copped these cause of your reviews man, Alot more lightweight than I was expecting ! Can't wait to run in them soon. NB should hook you up.
Sheeesshh!! Can't wait to hear. Appreciate that, deff made my day!
Good Stuff

Yeeeee let’s gooo

I'm tellin you! Plus they can easily be used as a walkin shoe, they look good enough for casual use.
I can tell you’re a cool guy! I’m glad I found your channel!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Try the Adidas Adizero SL2😉
Aiight Coo! Coppin them next!
Looking at the two pairs of the Rebel V4 I use in rotation, #1 has 107 miles & #2 has 60 miles. Certainly no issues with lack of "pop" after 100+ miles. Then again, I am 63" (makes me sound taller 😂) and 110 lbs. I can't wait for the SC Trainer V3 - the shoe that looks like my 1080 V13, SC Trainer V2 & Rebel V4 decided on Ménage à trois at a world marathon major.
Agreed! I think people who say it loses it's "pop" just want another training shoe lol! Also agree about the SC Trainer, they look good and I have a really good feeing they'll preform even better.
These still look good after 100 miles
These will deff get to the 3hunnit club!
I recently tried these on at fleet Feet and really enjoyed the fit and feel, but I still want to try on the adizero SL2 before I make a purchase.
The Sl2 is very good. It's light, comfortable, and poppy when picking up the pace. I have the Rebel V4 coming soon so I should be able to compare both
Getting those next! :)
Let us know! Much appreciated!

Amen!
If you dig carbon, go w/Adidas rods v. a plate (for the torsion flex in the mid and forefoot). I don't wear carbon and in '24 more research is coming in addressing the added bone stress you place on your body/mechanics and what it's doing to your joints/ligaments/tendons. Go to any sports physical therapist and they'll tell you if your bmi is over 24 or so, you probably should not be running in carbon. For many, carbon is like nicotine and I'm guessing by '26 you will see carbon shoes sold with disclaimers on health, no different than cigarettes and alcohol. Why? The class action lawsuits a stirring up with the more volume of carbon wearers and data/research coming in - so deniability cannot be claimed - right now the shoe makers are simply looking the other way...
Very insightful, much appreciated. Have you heard of any major injuries citing carbon shoes? I feel like we would have seen/heard of such by now. Also, how do you feel about nylon or plastic plates? Lastly, what about plates in maxx cushion trainers?
@@OffseasonProjects "Research has also shown that running in supershoes changes your form: It decreases your cadence, increases stride length and peak vertical forces, and alters foot mechanics. All these add stress to joints. “When you put a supershoe on, you basically have a trampoline,” Dicharry says. “It’s going to compress and rebound, and creates a different rate of loading to muscles and joints.” While no studies to date directly demonstrate that supershoes cause injury, evidence links them to stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, and other foot and lower-leg issues" - Outdoorsonline Aug '23. "In a 2018 study by Wouter Hoogkamer, Shalaya Kipp & Rodger Kram in Sports Medicine, carbon fiber-plated shoes were found to have changes on the gait of the runners wearing them - specifically, decreased cadence, longer steps, and a longer vertical “flight” time. In turn, these changes caused higher ground reaction forces with each step. Differences in ankle and metatarsophalangeal joint mechanics were observed when wearing carbon fiber footwear" - Triathlete Be mindful, from a science/data perspective, this is all in its infancy. A technology designed for elite runners on race day only is being adopted by regular people for daily run use, the new studies/research is coming out monthly as the numbers are just now trickling in. Look how long it took to get tobacco to be honest about its effect on health. Max cushion shoes are heavier and less responsive = relatively safe on you mechanics - however that goes out the window when you see companies like Hoka come out with the Skyward X, a carbon max cushion shoe. That's a cash grab to appeal to those getting addicted to carbon. There's enough out there now for people to decide if they want to roll the dice, or error on the side of caution. I've been doing this for almost 45 years and there's a real question if a person with a 25 BMI can wear a carbon shoe as a daily trainer and run for 10 years. What's the impact of the additional bone stress over the course of a decade? I'm not into plates, I like to feel the road and clock 10K daily in a non-sexy rotation (880, Glycerin, Adrenaline, Nimbus, Mach 6) standard stuff, nothing fancy.
I like your vibe, dude. Keep runnin’.
Really appreciate that !! Definitely!
