@@yeaabuddy8929 2022 shoe
The Triumph has powerrun+ the Speed has powerrun pb
Caught that too! The Tempus has pb, but doesn't have as much energy because of the regular powerrun used to stabilize it. The Ride 17 coming in 2024 will have powerrun+
Was looking for this comment . Very different foam 🤔 seems a bit of a weird mistake to say its the same
Love what you guys do! Thank you!
love this one, thank you!
This is the video anyone looking to change up their running shoes in 2023 needs 👊
Must say, mate, always love your take on stuff, as a lot of the popular reviewers don't really dig into mild stability stuff. Not a shot at them -- it's a smaller market and they may not need it. Just kudos for repping us all.
@@elliotendures thanks a lot I appreciate it
This is the video to keep on broke, store in the garage, pull them out and tell your wife they're not new running shoes 😂 *stares at the shelf of running shoes
But also the video anyone with an overly large running shoe collection does NOT need 😂- my wallet will not thank me.
I have zero new shoes in 2023, I only buy shoes in discount, that means time for a new pair of sc trainer v1
Thanks for the brilliant video, these types of videos are definitely my favourite kinds, keep up the good work guys 😊
Great video guys 👍👍👍
Great video. Lots of options. Loving the nimbus 25 and thinking about grabbing the Triumph 21
Great video!
love vid!
I love the visible gel, and the gel was the reason why I started wearing asics in 1st place. 😅
Over 300 miles on my Nimbus 25 and still going strong. Love the shoe and will definitely repurchase. Thinking of trying the Clifton 9 too.
Good morning. Briliant the top, Like to Meaghan , Thomas and Robbe. For me: Daily trainer: Brooks hyperion Max. Max cushion 1: Saucony triumph 21. Super trainer: Saucony endorphin pro 3. Max cushion 2: NB Sc trainer V2. A nice day for everyone.
I have the ASICS Nimbus 25 and it's a great recovery day shoe. I recently did a Half-Marathon in the Hoka Rocket X2 and loved them as well. Hoka Clifton 9 is my daily trainer and the Hoka Rincon 3 is my tempo shoe. I am waiting to see what comes out later this year and early next year.
Deviate Nitro v2 really the best shoe in years . Just bought my second pair a First Mile edition
Awesome video!
Really looking forward to using the Gel Nimbus 25 when it arrives as my daily trainer 🔥
How is it?
How is it
Great video! I am like Megan I love the Ascis Gel Nimbus 25. The best tongue!
Hello - I would love to see more of these reviews specifically for higher drop 8mm+ shoes. Some of us with Achilles issues cannot run in lower drop shoes but would like lightweight tempo and race day shoes also. Too many of the shoes made for this are in the 6mm range. It would be beneficial to see your views are higher drop shoes that can be used for this.
Very nice
Love Thomas' analogy - I miss my hippie aunt from Berkeley that has now gone Wall Street with the SC Trainer v2
Love this! Just picked up the Takumi sen 9 for $108 because of this vid. Are you going to do an early summer shorts review? Now is the time!
Probably not, but just buy the Nike Sunrise shorts, you won't regret it. - Robbe
I wanted to like the Triumphs 20 but the heal counter digs into my heal maybe go up a size.
I went a half size up in the Wave Rebellion pro and that was the ticket. Amazing shoe!
Totally agree! I'm a usual US Size 9.5 and went up to Size 10 and it fits perfectly. I'm super happy with the shoe as I ran a half marathon PB in them on Monday. The ride reminds me of the Adidas Prime X. It was on sale here in Australia so I picked another pair up for $204! (approx $140 USD).
I went TTS and it felt great for training and a shorter race, but then i did get a bruised right big toenail after my half! 😮 Like robbie and thomas, i have that black and white colorway fyi
@@dreamcatcher1616where about did you get it? Im in Australia as well. Thanks
@@rizontherun9684 They were on sale with Running Warehouse Australia. 25% off all shoes then with most brands you could use another 15% code which I did. But I believe the sale has ended though I'm sure they will have others later in the year.
Fave running shoe duo! Meg is soooo nice!
As a lover of a high stack cushy shoes', I see eye to eye with Megan. I am still enjoying my NB SC trainer original. 😉 Thank you for your reviews!
I have been thinking of sc trainer for so long even though the sc trainer is out now, just because the former has 47 mm stack as opposed to the latter 40. What are your thoughts? Thanks
@jatindersinghwinnipegcanada I haven't tried the latest version of SC Trainer yet. I hear the new version has reduced the midsole height without sacrificing its cushion support. I guess it would be a better choice for those who have concerns about ankle stability.
@@jeanlee28 I finally bought sc trainer 1 after so much though. Have run a few miles in those and they are like running on trampolines. Sc trainer 1 is 47 mm and sc trainer 2 is 40 mm.
I only run while wearing the souls of my enemies. I love the support of stylish Feetures socks though.
I use the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 as a daily trainer and it works amazingly. I use it for everything
better adidas boston 12 or Puma DN 2?
badass shoe, but for some reason it's starting to give me blisters on my toe. the toebox is quite narrow
@@faiznakarema3030 the ride of the puma DN2 is superb.
I’ve got the gel nimbus 25 based off your suggestion .. they are good for me I’m a hybrid powerlifting /runner so these are great for day after a hard leg or deadlift day
Thanks for posting. This is exactly what I am looking for
Honestly the best running shoes of 2023
1.Saucony Triumph 21
2.Adidas Boston 12
3.Asics Magic Speed 3
4.Puma Deviate Nitro 2
I gave the Clifton 9 a chance but couldn't like it. I kept going back to my mach 5's. I can't wait for the mach x.
Takumi Sen 9 has the stack heights backwards. Shows a negative 6 drop!
I bought my first max cushion shoe, Novablast 3, this year and after a couple weeks I started having IT band issues. I tried various usual remedies but then tried my last year shoes and it was gone within a week. I don’t think the high cushioned shoes are for me
Scored some Gel Nimbus 25 marked down to $130 already
My shoe of 2023 is sketchers ride 11,such an overlooked shoe.
Hell of a shoe
Love both Clifton 9 and Nimbus 25.
Hey how would you compare the 2?
@@MrMars121My personal opinion? Nimbus 25 is definitely more cushy, but Clifton 9 has a little more pop. You feel the sinking sensation on every stride on the Nimbus and it really feels good on your easy days. The Clifton is also pretty soft, but it doesn't give you that sinking sensation. It's a little more springy. For Lifestyle use? The Hoka is more fluid on every step. To me the Nimbus feels kind of... flat. Yes it's softer, like walking on marshmallows, but it doesn't give me a smooth step transition. It's probably different for each user, but for me, it's smoother than the Nimbus.
I'm stuck between the Takumi Sen 9 and the Magic Speed 3 for adding a tempo/speed day shoe to my rotation. So Magic Speed 3 over TS9 slightly by this video having MS3 as the #1 and TS9 as your #2?
What shoe would you recommend is best for boot camp?
I LOVE my Made in the USA's!!
TOPO CYCLONE 2 IS shoe of the year!!!
asics superblast long runs, evoride speed (reminds me of clifton) daily trainer, NB lerato lifestyle.
"So Megan, you love Kush"
Same..."kush" all day lol
Great videos. Do you have any info of the difference between a daily trainer and a max cushion shoe and a recovery shoe? What are their individual purposes? Also is there info about your particular foot types? Thanks!
Daily Trainer is a jack of all trades that you can use for anything you'd want to do. Max Cushion is a set of super chunky shoes that have a ton of foam, and can be used for specific things such as a recovery or race day or workouts or maybe as a daily trainer. Recovery shoes tend to be like max cushion shoes, but don't tend to do as well at faster paces due to instability or other factors
Just scooped the Takumi Sen 9 for $90. Can't wait to rock them in a race.
how, where....of course USA only.
Can’t believe how quickly certain colorways went on sale.
Can't beat that price
@@tadejdanev5030 100%. We don't get those prices in Europe...not even close.
how ? thats impoossible here in indonesia
19:08 33mm stack height on the forefoot and 27mm on the back? dang thats wild
They keep doing this. Stoners 😂❤
Still waiting for Vomero 17 to drop. If that shoe turns out to be a flop then the year of the daily trainer probably would go to either Nitro 2 or Boston 12 so far. For tempo shoes, two shoes that didn't get a mention and one of them is very similar to takumi sen which is Adios 8. The other one is Liberate nitro 2 from Puma these both shoes are much better price/performance options than whatever Asics trying to sell.
There was a editing issue with takumi .. the drop front and back was reversed
Hello would you give some suggestions about which shoes I buy I have a flat foot which flat shoes which I used cause very bad pain in my knees
Great review! I like a snappy shoe, one that helps make your runs less taxing, I tried Endorphin Speed 3 but the plastic plate caused me heel pain...right now I'm in the Hyperion Max but I'm not completely satisfied. I like and need a roomy toe box, narrow heel, springy feel...suggestions?
I personally used the endorphin speed 2's, I am debating whether to try 3s or not. But they are very snappy, almost like I wanna just start sprinting in them. I wouldn't use them if you were looking for some nice long easy runs.
I feel like theres a super trainer 3# missing here the Superblasts have been awesome!!
2023
Witch one on these shoe would be the best choice for the walk. Confort and stability would be my priorities. I am 75 years old with overweight and i want to bettter shape…by the walk. Thank you.
❤️ ASICS Gel Nimbus 25
Love my nimbus 25s! I am a runner with arthritis in my knees and ankles. These shoes are amazing...
Great to hear!
Waiting on the NB SC-T2 to drop on the website...
are All these for normal arch foot ?
Please include whether they are wide enough for people with wide feet.
You should try another max cushioned shoe from puma called Magnify Nitro 2.
Could the Takumi Sen be used for a 8-12 mile workout with some building Tempo, hills and race pace fartlek built in or would it be a bit aggressive for that
For sure... I actually did a 13-mile run with a 6-mile race on the end and worked out well - R
Size Matters…in Max Cushion 😎
Looking for an awesome long run shoe.... mild stability needs. Pro 3? Magicspeed?
Superblast
just goes to show, it doesnt matter what works for everyone else it matters what works for you. returned my cliftons and triumphs for rides and shifts. which didnt even make the list
Maybe be tell us what the benefits of fiberglass rods, rockers, what they are etc
You guys missed budget / entry level category(you guys liked the Axon in the past). Maybe something like the NB Propel V4?
It's in the written review on the site, just too many shoes for one video: believeintherun.com/shoe-reviews/best-running-shoes-2023/
Ok,ok - I still love you guys...
How about new balance 880 for daily trainer? The 880 Version 13 is new for 2023.
Puma Deviate 2 should have been on this list no doubt.
It is
Another great upload. Just wondering. Does the endorphin speed 3 has pretty much the same sizing (lengthwise) to the endorphin pro 3? Currently own speed 3 for daily and my toes touch the tip of the toe box as i toe off in my reg. size US 9.5. Im planning to get the pro 3s for my marathon this august. Pls help..
Same sizing for us
@@Believeintherun thanks guys
2:25 Thomas, isn't the endorphin speed uses PWRRUN PB? so not the PWRRUN+..
Yep
Better check that again, speed 3 has pwrunpb same as pro 3
Any advice for people with wide feet? Race shoes , long distance. When shoes are very closed, they cause me cramps

Can’t wear the fresh foam more v4 since wearing the “ perfect tongue” 🤪
Between Asics Magic Speed 3 and Adidas Adizero Boston 12, what will you guys choose? For various training, mid to long run? Please help to answer, thanks 🙏
Puma deviate 😝
Really? Wow, unpredictable answer...😁
They are quite different, Boston is more of a trainer so better for longer and slower runs. Magic Speed 3 is really good for faster and shorter efforts but may not be so comfortable at easier paces.
Hello Everyone!
I need help picking a shoe… I am a neutral, road runner. Sometimes I run around 7 miles; sometimes 3. I prefer to pep it up when my body allows. So super plush is probably not sky my cup of tea. However, some days I’m just trying to get in my miles bc my body is tired. I don’t have a training schedule and I don’t compete in any races; maybe someday, but for now, I run for myself and I run pretty much every single day. Also, I am 5’3” and 115-120 pounds if that matters any at all in choosing my shoe.
Shoes I’ve tried:
Saucony Triumph 18 - hated at first d/t bulkiness, but I did start liking them a lot better after some miles… def not my favorite and when they got wet, they stayed wet for days.
Saucony Speed 2 - loved the look and material was so much thinner(better), but my ankles rolled way too easily. I ended up wearing these to work.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 - so far, these have been pretty decent. My foot could possibly roll in these when I hit gravel, which happens from my driveway to the road and a few other places. Luckily, my ankles don’t seem to sprain when they roll. Even when I played basketball in high school, they didn’t really ever sprain; I can only remember once and that was bc it was stepped on when it rolled.
Brooks Ghost - have had several of these and no problems, but they’ve never been super special really. My 14’s did seem a little too wide in the forefoot.
Brooks Glycerin 18 - I actually liked these quite a bit, but it seems all newer versions have become so much wider. I don’t want a super wide shoe. The aesthetic does matter to me bc I usually transition my running shoes into my casual or work shoes at some point.
Brooks Levitate - can’t remember the model, but they were ok.
Anyway, if anyone took the time to read this long-ass monster of a comment, do you have any suggestions? I’d be very appreciative as I just can’t make up my mind…
Asics tri noosa 14...great, light allrounder and on sale for a great price. Great allrounder w bigger stack would be the superblast.
If your in the DMV you pretty much HAVE to have at least one pair of 990s. The V6 is the lightest version and great to walk around in. Agree with the Nimbus 25 as such a great max Cush daily trainer. I need to run a race in the Vaporfly3 but I still have at least one more race left in the Vaporfly2
trail run shoes?
I would like your opinion on NOBULL shoes.
Runner+ is a decent shoe but the upper is bad, we have a review on our website
Where does the Asics Gel Kyano rank in your knowledgeable opinion?
Stability shoes aren’t really our bag. As far as stability shoes go, it is very nice. Up there with the Saucony tempus
This is a long one! Hope you enjoy. Side note: we recorded this a couple weeks ago but since then have received a couple shoes that deserve consideration, namely the Adidas Boston 12 for the super trainer category and the On Cloudboom Echo 3 for the race day category. Additionally, we didn't include trail on here, but our top three picks for trail so far this year are: Hoka Tecton X 2, Saucony Endorphin Rift, and The North Face Vectiv Pro.
Leave any questions in the comments and we'll do our best to respond!
How does the endorphin rift feels compared to the endorphin edge?
Written review goes up tomorrow where we compare the two
Hello. Since your first try of Adidas Prime X Strung 2 you have tested many super shoes.. Still you think that Prime X 2 are going to be a game changer as your initial opinion? Thank you.
@@giannisrozakeas1964 if it's the same shoe as the one we saw last december, then yes, for sure
Amazing!! Thanks for the reply!!!!
No Nike invincible run 3?
Topo Cyclone 2 👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Nitro infused Pebax plus a beautiful, designed Ortholite sockliner for extra arch support.
Man I love the look of those 990s, but £210 for a lifestyle shoe 💀
I'm buying Made in Italy!
🥇
We keep and love our running shoe boxes for some reason, so what is you favorite running shoe box? I like the brooks
We should probably save them, but we don’t.
Invincible 2 is still the best
I am looking for comfortable shoes for walking, standing, and suitable for travel. They recommended the types according to the best😢
What’s the cheapest
What was Daily trainer #2?
Sorry, meant to just be #2 in the description... Triumph is kind of a daily trainer/max cushion
Is there a reason none of your videos feature stability shoes?
This is probably a very simple question, but what is the significance of the drop? I.e. is a larger drop good? Or is a bigger drop better for certain running styles?
Some people like to feel pitched forward, some like a “natural” feel of zero drop. Higher drops take pressure off the Achilles, but midfoot to forefoot runners can feel like the heel interrupts their natural stride. There is no right and wrong. It is just what works for the individual.
No Nike invincible 3?
Overrated
What are the most breathable shoes of 2023
That Mizuno shoes at 23:17 is like a cow 🐄 😄
It’s funny how painful it is for a Thomas to say anything nice about a Sketchers shoe! 😂
Got the Clifton 9’s earlier this year, went from the Nike zoom x 2% and it was a game changer!
Hey How are the Clifton 9? For which purposes would you use them?
@@MrMars121 i use them for recovery runs and tempo runs so 80% of my running miles are using the Clifton’s
Don't reduce it just produce it
LFG Nimbus 25 😎
isn't Endorphin Speed use PWRRUN PB instead of PWRRUN+?
Yes. He misspoke.
Yes, you're correct
ah, just read this comment after I posted the same question 🤦🏾♂️
did you just review every shoe that came out this year?
Fellow runners 200+ lbs avoid the cloud surfers for daily training. They’re super comfortable for a casual/gym shoe wouldn’t recommend running in them. The ground feel they mention is very very uncomfortable
What would you recommend then ? For just normal jogging on hard pavement
Does nimbus 25 look stylish ? Or ugly ?
Instead of the $125 sketchers, just get last year’s Nimbus for $80. Much better shoe.
