We've heard it a fair few times...

Hi. Thanks for your comment. The Adrenaline GTS and Glycerin GTS should offer very similar levels of arch support, as the GuideRail support is essentially the same in both models. However, the slightly broader base in the Glycerin GTS may suit your foot shape better than the Adrenaline GTS. There's no best style of support for flatter shaped arches. Although, it's likely a broader based midfoot area will suit your foot shape better, and offer more stability as a result. You may want to consider the Saucony Hurricane 24. They have a very broad base and offer some additional support.

and it's 300€ 🤯

Hi. The gaps (Cloud Elements) are designed to collapse and compress when you load them. So, this is likely to happen during both walking and running. It's worth noting there's no flight phase when you're walking, so a considerable amount of load is going through the cushioning - irrespective of body weight.

@@run4it Thoughtful response, much appreciated. I was wondering if it was just me. Now if i can get rid of the squeak :)

@@run4it Thank you!

Hi. From a support perspective, both models could be good options for flatter shaped feet. The most important part to consider here is probably the shape of the shoes. If you have a broader shaped midfoot, you'll probably benefit from a broader shaped midsole. As the Gaviota are built on a wider last than the Arahi, they may suit you better. However, the Arahi are also available in a wide-fit, and this could also be an option.

@run4it Thank you, this helped 🙂.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. We haven't run in the New Balance More v5, but we have done a lot of miles in the 1080 v13. The Fresh Foam X cushioning feels pretty different to the PWRRUN PB foam in the Hurricane. In summary, while Fresh Foam X feels very soft, and does offer good energy return, it doesn't feel nearly as resilient as Saucony's PeBa based PWRRUN PB foam. As a result, the Hurricane will probably feel a lot bouncier underfoot, and the midsole is less likely to bottom out. It's fair to say the More v5 and Hurricane 24 share a lot of similar attributes. However, the superfoam in the Hurricane is likely to offer a much more energetic experience. If you're looking for a bouncy, yet stable underfoot ride, it's hard to look past these.

Hi. Thanks for your question. While size is a personal preference, most runners will benefit from having half a thumb to a full thumb width in space from the end of their big toe to the end of the shoes. This is indeed to provide some space for the feet, so you don’t hit your toes off the end of the shoes. Bruised toe nails can be caused by a lack of space at the end of the shoes. There are other reasons as to why it’s a good idea to have some space at the end of your shoes. For example, a lack of space can actually inhibit the function of the big toe joint, and therefore reduce power. Overly tight shoes may also have a negative impact on the stability of your feet. And finally, foot problems such as bunions can be caused by overly tight shoes. On this note, it’s helpful to mention that the width of the shoes increases more than the length of the shoe as you go up half a size - this should help your feet splay more naturally. When ‘true to size’ is mentioned in relation to running shoes, it tends to mean that they fit similarly to other running shoes, and you shouldn’t need to go up or down in size. This doesn’t mean that they fit with no extra space. Typically, most people need to go up half to a full size in running shoes in comparison to their daily shoes. We hope this helps you with your sizing questions. There’s always exceptions to the norm, but it’s very likely you’ll benefit from having some space.

@@run4it Thank you so much for such a detailed response! I did order them 1 size bigger than my everyday shoe. Looking forward to try these ones!!

Hi. The Cloudeclipse should work very well for that pace range. Lacing is an individual preference, but it's not a great idea to have your laces overly tight. As long as your feet aren't slipping when you're running, it's ok if they don't feel very tight. Of course, using the last eyelet to lock the heel counter into a place is a good idea though.

@@run4it thank you, can’t wait to try on cloud eclipse. 🫡🫡

Yes

Hi. Yes they fit true to size. It's worth noting the Cloudmonster 2 offer a pretty wide fit in the toe box,.

I actually half sized down
