2 suggestions: 1) Next time you do this you should get some of the slower staff do it also to see what shoes benefit runners of different paces. 2) Throw a daily trainer in to estimate how much of a bump you are getting.
Ran with the Metaspeed Sky Paris' for the Copenhagen Marathon and ran a 2:57. Absolutely loved the shoe. The thing I noticed was that paces that usually feel like hard work seemed to feel slightly easier with this shoe and with the new foam they were extremely comfortable.
Very interesting comparison but I would have liked to see the Alphafly 3 included as well. Personally I have been trying to get my hands on a pair of the Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris for a while as they seem the best pick for me while being significantly cheaper as the Alphaflys. I'm currently using a race retired pair of Vaporfly 2's for faster workouts and they are still holding up well along with a pair of Puma Deviate Nitro 2's for tempo stuff which I love but the design of the fast-R just does not appeal to me. New Balance makes some great shoes but they would not be a top pick for plated shoes, same goes for Mizuno.
Stuck at 20:20 5k. Bought takumi sen 10 and immediately ran 19:58 in worse conditions. I’m a complete supershoe convert now and have got the Saucony pro 4s for my half marathon PB attempt in 3 weeks! I’d love to see Sarah do a 5k all out effort in daily trainer versus a supershoe or two!
This is excellent content! My request is to add in someone running closer to 4:00 per km to see if the results differ by pace range. I would watch dozens of these videos if you did them.
@runningchannel - This is a good suggestion. Nice to see Andy and Jess, but would be good to see a remake with Sarah, Tom and Rick doing the same test.
looking forward to seeing the results but i am writing this before i watch, i would love if you then see "cheaper" shoes around the £100-£150 mark because im covinced that the shoe itself doesn't make much of a difference over shorter distance if you are just a good runner. imo its more just finding a shoe thats comfortable for you as an individual rather than "supershoes make you go faster"
Andy would probably run around 3 for each k,they make a difference for runners who run or midfoot or forefootand are generally faster. But if this test were for slower or heel striking runners then yes the carbon shoes won't make much of a difference.
I got the ASICS metaspeed paris and alothough they were very expensive, I love every speed session in them! They work great for warming up, but when I go faster they just help me keep going forward
I did 3 half marathons with my metaspeed sky paris. My current PB is 01:40:45. I also use them on my intervals and speed run days on track. Definitely worth the buy for a person with standard width. And oh, I have over pronation on my feet.
Love to see shoes compared over price points, currently running in a very budget friendly Asics Contend-8s, but would love to know would I see noticeable gains by upgrading to some of the more expensive options out there.
Mizuno rebellion pro 2 are an incredibly fast shoe AND are a truly unique and amazing to run in for mid to forefoot runners , I own many high end marathon and fast pace tempo runners and the mizuno are wonderful , Not sure why they don't get the accolades they honestly deserve, masters of uphill climbs,
Ran my first marathon in the Rebellion Pro 2 and they were great, even as a beginner/intermediate. Unfortunately I ordered them online and they did fit a bit snug, so I ended up with some pretty serious damage to my toes. I'd buy them again and go up 1/2 size
@@ch4r9ed11 3:36:34 Very happy with my time, ran 1:52 in my first half in October. So I'm by no means fast. I wasn't deterred by the shoe's marketing (for 2:30 runners). One other thing I should mention. I also. bought a pair of the Flash 2s and ran in those for uptempo days, and several long runs. So I gave myself plenty of time to get used to the geometry style of the WRP2. Took a while to learn how to use the shoe. Had about 250km on flash 2 and 100km on the pro 2 going into race day. Once you find the sweet spot on these shoes they're really great. They do best on flat predictable roads though. Running on cracked pathways, steep hills, tight turns could get a little sketchy. Consider your course
This was a cool test, but I'd like to see if you and Jess are willing to do the same test, using a "Daily Trainer" of your choice from each of the manufacturers you ran in for this test? It would be nice just to have a comparison of how much faster these "Supershoes" are than the Daily Trainers most of us run in on a regular basis? Not exciting I know, but it would be cool. (P.S. this might bring back the viewer who tunes into the podcast for the science)😁
Having them go all out in a NB 1080v13 is gonna feel like mush😅 I tried them a few months ago, super enjoyable to run slow in but I couldn't get up to pace for the life of me. The NB Rebel V4 on the other hand was something else. I could see myself using it as a daily trainer, but technically it's a dynamic/race shoe. Still soft but once up to speed I easily kept going (Shoes were tested at a testing event, so I don't actually own any of them)
Great video. Thanks for the efforts. I had the V3 version of New Balance Shoe and it cut me below both ankles. I noticed that a number of people had the same problem and resolved it by cutting the shoe where it dug in. This was not ideal for an expensive shoe but it solved the issue and I ran a 10km course PB when I next used them. It will be interesting to see if the V4 version is better on that issue.
As a slightly heavier runner, the Adidas Adios Pro 3 is a winner!!! The energy rods feel so much more accommodating to my feet compared to a plate and the LSP foam is great :) Very stable... Just the lacing system can be tricky to get a good lockdown... Really want to try the Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris from this line up!
I have the Adios Pro 3 and I don't think they're as fast as the Pro 2. Vaporfly all the way for me. I am intrigued by the New Balance FC V4, it looks good. I have tried the Asics Metaspeed Sky+ but felt they were trying to tip me sideways so didn't keep them.
This needed to be repeated over 3-5 days and ideally in different shoe order, without the runner knowing which shoe they were running on or any or the previous results.
I think next time race in shoes that are targeted for shorter distances. Not sure you can really fairly compare marathon shoes over shorter distances as that is not what they are designed for. Still loving your content keep the videos coming.
I would love to see a video of the none pro racers running in these super shoes I have a 8 to 9 minute per mile pace for marathons and would love to see the results for a slower run like me running in super shoes
I've tried the Metaspeed Sky Paris and NB SC Elite 4 out of this group and would definitely take the ASICS. The feel the closest to the Alphafly 1 that I have been racing in with the bounciness of the midsole. Owning the Fast-R 1, I have no interest in the second version. I can't handle those for more than 5K so I put speed laces in them and made them my duathlon shoes (where I never run more than 5K at a time). I am really interested in trying out the Mizuno and feel like they would be perfect for how I run.
i recently ran leeds marathon in fast-R2. Amazing shoe. huge PB and wasn't as badly beat up as usual at the end of a marathon . had only done one training run prior . can't wait for upcoming 5k race having also knocked 36 seconds off parkrun PB
Nice test, but people probably won't buy these to run 1km. Would be nice to test them at your MP, HMP, 10k pace and 5k pace, then we'd know what they are good for.
NB elite v4 is so nice to run in, but there's just no heel padding. It was destroying me feet. I was actually thinking of getting the Asics instead or maybe checkout the new Mizuno Neo Vista.
Not tried the Puma but don't ,like the sound of them, the Mizuno rub my toes until they bleed and New Balance are too bulky on foot. Got to be the Asics, I love them and will be racing in them for 2 of my 4 races this week, the other 2 races are multi-terrain!
But why do 1k‘s all out if you test marathon shoes, why not also do this on the track with different spikes. Also you could try out lower stack road racing shoes like the Nike streakfly or the adidas adizero taking sen 10 as they are made for shorter distance
I don't consider myself nearly as fast enough for the marginal speed gains to matter. I could shed two or three kilos of body weight and would get the same effect.
Hi, wondering if you had a preference prior to the trial and if you did you reckon that could play with one’s mind? I for sure wont be able to be fair with the trial 😂.
None of these compare to the Kiprun KD900X LD - Although this is just my opinion, I have tried other carbon plated shoes and they just hit different right out the box - At £160 as well...
@@runningchannel Simply this. Shoppers continue to chase the latest and greatest footwear when maybe they should focus more on actually training. When I began running, Nike’s waffle soles were all the rage. Shoes arguably sucked then. What were performance shoes then are now nostalgic lifestyle shoes nobody would be caught dead actually running in. And then there’s the bandwagon phenomena, where a company introduces some new products and the other brands climb aboard. Hoka came out and I purchased the first generation of Clifton’s. My running buddies laughed and called them clown shoes. Most are now wearing Hokas themselves and many brand’s offerings feature Hoka-like stacks and cushion. No laughter now. I recently watched a video where a pro golfer shot par with a set of clubs bought at a department store. I’d bet he could break par with them once he learned more about their capabilities. I think there’s a bit of comparison there when it comes to running. But people will continue to chase the holy grail shoe and companies will gladly reap the benefits. I’m a fan of innovation, evidenced by my early experience with Hoka. Not against progress, not at all. Just find it funny that shoes are now hovering close to 200 USD and rising. I buy them a year or two later for less than half that and am quite happy. Wear something comfortable and get out and run.
You should have run this test again but reverse the order you ran in those shoes, then see your timings. Your first 1k will be when you're freshest, so it's not really a fair test to be honest.
So many salty Nike fanboys in the comments 😂😂. Nevermind that Nikes over all running line up is lackluster and is totally smoked by New Balance, Asics, and Saucony. And other companies are making good super shoes too. Case in point.....all four featured in this video. Sorry fanboys......but just salpping a Nike logo on something does not make it the best. You guys really need to stop treating brands like religions.
Asics has the best line up this year. Saucony had the best line up last year. New Balance is way in the back still. But yeah NIke overrated at this point imo.
But what about Nike, - the orginal developer of the "super-shoe"??????? and include a "normal" sho in the mix, so we can understand the real performance advantages
Any reason why all super shoes are ugly AF? I'm not exactly looking for high fashion when it comes to running gear, but still. The ASICS were the best looking in this video but even they weren't "normal" looking
@@runningchannel Well, not shoes that wouldn't be out of place in Fifth Element or with platforms from the 90's. In other words, normal. I'm actually genuinely interested in if there is a legitimate reason for them to look that way
No Adidas, no Nike alpha or Vapor fly, no hoka, no ON cloud. This video smells like an advert but I can’t quite detect where the smell is coming from. Maybe Mizuno 🤷♂️
@@RedMoxi By electing to miss out on the top two brands with the best shoes there is to offer (adios pro 3 and alpha fly 3) it skews the results and logically leads one to think that one of these brands may have paid for it and didn't want to compete against the obvious best shoes available. I am sorry your logical brain doesn't work well.
@@JMC2727 The 'top two' brands have by far the largest spend which can lead to people thinking they have the 'obvious best shoes available'. You even suggest this video was paid by Mizuno even though they didn't benefit from the findings?
@@justoutlaw6423 how are any of these brands getting on in the results world wide? At the elite level? Yes Nike and adidas pay the most. But they do have the best equipment too. Elite athletes want money. But they want to win more. Look at what Kiptum did pre-London marathon. He ditched his shoe sponsor in order to run in Vaporfly 2s.
I think I could run at least 2.20 in any of these when the Mrs finds out how much they cost and chases after me out the house
As long as she is a 2:21 runner then you will be just fine ✌🏼😅

You need to have a normal training shoe in as well and get a 1k time. so you can see how much additional speed you are getting in the super shoe.

You should have them run in their normal trainers for these so we can see the difference between regular shoes and super shoes.

Wow, this is truly amazing! I run 15km three times a week in a park in Korea, or 45km a week, and I feel out of breath.

This needed to be repeated over 3-5 days and ideally in different shoe order, without the runner knowing which shoe they were running on or any or the previous results.
Interesting, hope more people understand it's not one shoe that's best for all runners. Even on race day.
Just wish tounge was slightly longer on Assics paris. Good shoe.

@@RedMoxi By electing to miss out on the top two brands with the best shoes there is to offer (adios pro 3 and alpha fly 3) it skews the results and logically leads one to think that one of these brands may have paid for it and didn't want to compete against the obvious best shoes available. I am sorry your logical brain doesn't work well.
@@JMC2727 The 'top two' brands have by far the largest spend which can lead to people thinking they have the 'obvious best shoes available'. You even suggest this video was paid by Mizuno even though they didn't benefit from the findings?
@@JMC2727 Just bcs something is hyped doesn't make it best.
@@justoutlaw6423 how are any of these brands getting on in the results world wide? At the elite level? Yes Nike and adidas pay the most. But they do have the best equipment too. Elite athletes want money. But they want to win more. Look at what Kiptum did pre-London marathon. He ditched his shoe sponsor in order to run in Vaporfly 2s.
It's pronounced "A-sics" not "ass-ics"
