Thank you, Robbe, for saying SuperBlast was a 2022 shoe and, thus, ineligible for the 23 ST award. Re-capping my Epipen.
by far the best art direction of any shoe review profile. Awesome.
You guys should have a "Comeback Shoe of the Year" category!
I'm surprised you liked the Asics Magic Speed 3 as much as you have. For me, it felt a bit harsh when I went over 10k. Surprisingly I enjoyed the Magic Speed 2 more. Also tried the On Cloudsurfer 7 and whilst the upper was superb the underfoot feel wasn't as good as anticipated vs other brand options. However, totally agree about your assessment on the NB Propel v4. Absolute bargain for what you get. Sure the upper could do with a bit of improvement but it's the midsole that is magic. Bang for the buck! This is a winner and nowadays you can get it on discount. And yes, Skechers Go Run Ride series is excellent value. Problem, like you say, is limited availability. Thanks for all your content this year. I've really enjoyed watching your channel. Happy New Year!
I wish Topo shoes becomes available in more regions. A lot of people have great things to say about cyclone 2 and probably the only shoe in the list I would like to try.
Entertaining duo, great work!
Yeah wanted to give a try topo but couldn't find it in Au
Love this channel, thanks for everything you guys do. Thomas chucking the Sketchers had me rolling
Thanks!!!
Best reviews as always! best in the game.
Love my Hoka Mach Xs. They are great for easy paces as well as Intervals and everything in between. Great video as always 🤙🏻 Hope to make it back to America one day and run the NY Marathon.
Wayne’s world, you guys are huge, the most original duo I’ve seen on you tube.. Got this cool stoned vibe going on, can feel the love.. Best original duo 🥇 on you tube2023 that’s for sure.. 🙏🏻❤️
What a great and fun video dudes!
I ran earlier today with my Asics Magic Speed 3, which is an awesome fast shoes, and I'm watching this video while walking around my home while using the Nike Infinity Run 4. Another great shoes, and I don't find them that heavy since the flow heel to.toe is so awesome ! I run better with my Infinity, and then I can do with the lightweight cushioning shoes that are also very unstable. New Balance 1080 v13. This v13 was my bad surprise of 2023 ...
No honorable mention on super shoe… not sure when the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 came out but I would put it in either the best do it all or super shoe. I just got this one for sale on Black Friday and I find myself grabbing it almost every day. I have to make myself wear different shoes it has been that good for me.
Totaly agree
same here, it’s one of the most underrated shoes of 2023
I bought a pair of Gel Nimbus 25 for our trip to Seoul. Plushest shoes I've ever worn by a country mile.
Will there be a part 3 and part 4 featuring wide foot jarret and the big guys in Chad and Alex? Would love to hear their take as I am a heavier runner and have wide feet. Thanks.
Magic speed 3 is so good, i already got a second pair. I could race it as well up to 10mi.
Waiting for the BIG.DUDE.APPROVED. shoes for 2023.🙏🏼
We probably won't have a full video since we shot one a couple months ago, so just check the post on the website which we keep updated. Thanks!
on cloudsurfer is great especially removed the speedboard makes it more comfortable
Thanks for introducing me to Norda. My birthday is coming up!
That default white/black/red Magic Speed 3 colorway is still one of the best looking shoes out there.
Agree, but all other colorways are meh
@@tkwasik the new red on white is dope.
@@A_SEGA_Dremcast Just ordered this colorway and I can't wait! It'll be my first of the Magic Speed series. I love my Endorphin Speed 3 but wanted something with a little more bite for intervals and repeats, which I thought the original E Speeds did better than the 3s.
I use the Mach X as my half marathon racer since it has the cushion I want for my ~2hr time. Wouldn’t have thought to use it as a trainer too much with how squishy it is.
Like to Thomas and Robbe.!!! The Kinvara 14 for ever!!!!. Have a great day.
I'm a petit male miler..and I loved the PXS2...132 max
Finally, someone agrees with me that the Streakfly is a great shoe Thomas! I'm on my second pair and use them for sorter runs and tempo/threshold sessions and love the low slung feel.
Terrific shoe.
Robbe, I’m wearing the same shirt as I watch this, it’s the Janji Waffleloft, right? Obsessed with this shirt, not just for running but for hanging out. Think I’ll pick up the Topo Cyclone 2 on y’all’s rec-thanks!
Topo Cyclone 2 in Bangkok is $175, no discounts available. Mach 5 and Saucony Speed 3 available for about $100. Looking forward to the Mach 6 and Speed 4.
I know this is a runners channel but could you guys also add for the walkers? I appreciate you mentioning the asics for walkers 🤙🏼
Cyclone 2 was the first Topo I actually enjoyed. I’m eager to try the Atmos.
The Atmos is cushy, I just tried em on at my local running store yesterday. Been loving the Phantom 3 for a few months, honestly not sure if I need more cush but when they wear out I may go for it.
Norda 001. Buy it as a travel/vacation shoe but note you can’t afford to go on vacation. The price of running shoes now is ridiculous.
Dude. I literally just got the Propel v4 a week or two ago for $70. Unbelievable. Only about 20 miles in, but it's crazy that this exists for so low a price.
Those Nordas look great. How does the toebox compare to Altra/Topo vs Hoka?
Never heard of Norda but that is a great looking shoe.
Good god, I just experienced the sticker shock after googling it. I mean, it’s totally fine because it was the travel shoe category and sky’s the limit on how people roll during they vacation, but man, $280? Okay 🤷♂️ The whole “deserted island, one shoe” category debate can probably fill an entire podcast episode.
Which is the difference between de Do-It-All category and the Super Trainers? I'm feeling like both are kind of the same. Love the Boston 12 and the Mach X and I don't know the name of the category but I feel is the same. Maybe too many good shoes to reward?
I been watching you guys for awhile and I enjoy your show it has everything good reviews, good laughs, what you guys with so.many shoes, you guys donate some of them. There's no way you guys can use all of the shoes on your training, I am a 70 old guy with a very tight budget and could use some of the 10.5 suze shoes if you do not use them I am not picky I am from Canada anyway, keep up with the good work.
Best wide shoes plis
where does robbe get his topo shoes? i don't see any men topo smaller than us size 8.
Would the Gel Nimbus 25 be considered a Marathon shoe, basic, start to finish shoe ?
The Infinity RN4 gets suggested at half size up often. Do you think that's the case? I wear 13 normally and they don't make a 13.5.
The upper is stretchy, try it on.
The puppets are a good idea! 😂
Im addicted to my nimbus 25s I have 4 pairs!
Waited for trail shoe OTY...(In hand jumping and rolling action)
Trail shoe picks are on the website
Is Robby going to try the 003 norda slip on?
I have, we did a first look and opinion on the website - R
Cielo road over adios 8?
Atreyu Race Model, best one on this list (IMHO)
Didn’t know we were going to be blessed by Cool Guy Robbie in this one.
Man, I love Thomas, I love Meaghan, but I think we all know who the star of the show is. The man, the myth, the legend - Robbe Reddinger.
Wait, so the Cielo road is too expensive for daily trainer and fast days at $160 but the Mach X can do both and it's $180. I'm so confused. This whole "the shoe has a plate so it's better" thinking is getting crazy. It's just allowing all these companies to charge more $$$ for shoes.
So what's the best stability shoe for 2023?
The Ride 11, at first, seemed like it’d be an ALL STAR for me - but then I took it out for a real SWEATER of a run, and learned it soaks up sweat like Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly’s basketball scene.
A bit the same for the Infinity Run 4, but the Ride 11 seems to triple in weight for me and slosh and splosh around, which limits its use for me. The Infinity Run 4 gets much more use for me, the midsoul really is something nice and I’m looking forward to seeing how Nike utilizes the new injection molded doohickey in other shoes.
Nike deserved the backlash this year tho, the Invincible 3 is a joke, horrible fit and the whole upper is just poorly done. Heel slip hell. You’d think they’d have figured this out lol.
I do, in fact, sometimes, believe in the run.
Wow! Thank you.
I'm still waiting for best stability shoe 2023 😢 my ankles would appreciate it 😅
Best Long Run Shoe 2023?
I know you said it but the (2022) Asics Superblast is a MF of a shoe I wish I could re-sole the bottom sole because the FF TURBO it's like new after 3700+ miles I've wash the shoe after rain I've ran all different climates and this Super Shoe still performed like new as a heavy running I changed my insole 's and the magic happened wow PLEASE ASICS just leave this shoe the way it is 10 out 10 the best shoe pound 4 pound!!!!!!!! Cheers!!!!!
So damn true, I'm on my second pair right now, I hope they will make the second version better or just leave it like how it is. My rotation literally went down from 4 pairs to 2, which is recovery/easy day shoes and superblast for everything else, they are just great!
Norda
Seriously, no deviate nitro 2 in the list?
New category- best dinner date shoe= thursday sneakers. you’re welcome
Are you all sponsored by anyone? Just want to ensure reviews here are genuine and not pushed by dollars. Love what you do!!
Thanks dude! We would legally have to disclose if any of this was sponsored content, so no. We've never received money in exchange for reviews, we only receive the product (and quite honestly, we have enough shoes to last a lifetime). In our written reviews we sometimes have affiliate links, but don't care either way if you go through us to get a shoe (though we appreciate it if you do). Legitimately, these are all shoes we love, though as you may imagine, it is very subjective. If you find yourself disagreeing with our picks then you may align better with another shoe reviewer and should take their advice as their preference may suit you better. Thanks for asking!
💀
That was the most Maximus response ever. “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!” Hell yeah.
@@Believeintherunlmfaooo bodied him for no (some) reason 😂
Damn, are you new here?
"Norda nice foam insole" but all insoles are made of foam anyway what was your point
My grandma wears skechers
How many times does Robbie say, " i dont know" ?!
The biggest problem of Skechers is that their shoes look ugly af. When the GOrun Ride 7 came out, it was hyped by runners because of the comfort. They were early in the game with softer, responsive midsoles that lasted for at least 500 mls. The downside was that their shoes looked like grandparents sofas. Hokas, however, were ugly too. Then Hokas became fashionable with better design and nicer color ways, whereas Skechers started to look even weirder or uglier. Finally other brands like Asics introduced new foams. Now all brands have soft, quite light and responsive midsoles. There is just no need for Skechers anymore because they didn't do anything about the design.
When it comes to travel shoes I agree with what you are saying but personally I still don't run at all in those shoes because of two reasons. First of all, feet sweat a bit and therefore shoes need a rest, which means that one cannot wear the same pair when one goes out for dinner for example. Secondly, running makes shoes dirty. One cannot always avoid puddles or dusty roads. Shoes stay perfectly clean only when they are worn casually. That is why I take a different pair for running every time when I travel. If I had luggage space problems, then I normally take an old pair of running shoes with me and throw it away in the hotel.
Loved my Gel-Nimbus 25's until 140 miles in, and despite keeping my toe nails short, I pushed my toenail through the upper during a long and wet run. Very disappointed.
These people kill me. High stack to them means soft and cushy. High stack means high stack, it can be a little firm or soft. People need choices in high stack. I love the Kinvara Pro. I do agree with the confusing name though. The most disappointing is the NB SC Trainer v2. V1 is better.
How kinvara pro compares to shift ??
Agree on the SuperComp Trainer V2. It’s fine, but like the V1 much better particularly for long runs.
Love the pro as well
@@tkwasikto me, it's easier to pick up pace and move my feet in the shift, but as a heavier runner, I can maintain distance and am painless after running in the pro. I can pick up speed in the pro as well. Love my pros.
Yeahh ..the colour is matter
Backlash against Nike? You're read Kara Goucher's book, right?
Were y'all just trying to fit in more shoes by calling the magic speed a tempo shoe and not a super trainer?
Saucony’s rationale for why they named it after the Kinvara has been out there since the shoe came out… I’m also not a fan of cannibalizing the name of that shoe but maybe give us some commentary on that since you’re shoe guys? But maybe that wrecks your category IDK. Saucony told the doctors of running I’m sure they would have told you too.
Track Smith is meh.
Kinvara Pro....Lost
