Thank you for watching and subscribing! - Zábava
That intro was AWESOME! LOL Darn you for adding another pair of shoes to my shopping list!
That makes me so happy! A couple of people have said they really liked the intro! I was worried it would be one of those times where I think something is really cool because of the editing, but most people wouldn't notice. So I am SOO glad you like it! Haha get to shopping!
@@UltraTrailSteven Often times I'll see/hear something and mean to comment, but waiting until the end, I wind up forgetting. Or I'll rack up so many things to comment, I have to weed it out so I'm not writing a novel. Keep doing you, people obviously like it! 😆
😃
The one I’ve been waiting for! I ordered a pair of the Torrent 2’s so I’ll be watching this anxiously!
Awesome! I hope you like it!
Compare them to the Zinals! I have the same complains as in the video, the torrent 2s are stiffer and less comfortable after 15 or 20 miles, just saying
Thank you for this video! Only found your channel today!! Thank you for this - learning all the time! From A Fan in Ireland 🇮🇪
Awesomesauce! Thank you!!
Excellent video - thanks! I think you helped me decide which shoe is right for me (Zinal). :)
Awesome! The Zinal are great shoes!
Wow who’s the voice-over guy you hired at the beginning 🤣 looool so good.
The video we’ve been waiting for! 👟
I know right! What can I say... I spared no expense on the production of this one! HAHAHA
THE VOICE OVER! THE EDITING! THE LIGHTING! SO SO GOOD MAN! Haha
Man I was waiting for you to watch lol. Thanks brotha! I appreciate it!!!
Yes! Fantastic opener! Ugh you're killing me...the tread/lugs, durability and price are pulling back to the Torrent. As usual, super helpful detailed comparison. Thanks Steven.
Thanks, Sage! The tread/lugs look like more than enough for the trails I’ve seen in your videos lol. I think the Zinal will probably be good to 300ish miles; which is about the same as the Torrent 2 in my opinion lol. Good luck making the choice 😂
@@UltraTrailSteven I hate you, lol
Amazing intro! 🤩
Thanks! It was fun to make!!
Awesome video thanks for putting it together! It looks like the zinal is the torrent 3? Currently have original torrents, should I grab the 2 while I still can or just skip to zinal s? Currently working up to 50k beginning of next year
Thank you! No, the Zinal is completely different from the Torrent line. Depends on what you want in a shoe?
I have the torrent 2s, they are stiffer in the middle, so I'm going to check the Zinals, or going back to Saucony Peregrine 11s or 12s:)
The Zinals are not as stiff as the Torrent 2.
Came here for a tie breaker opinion, now I feel like I need both. P.S been running in Speedgoats, but they are too high and have rolled/broken both my ankles in them on trails.
Lol they are both great shoes, Jen! I agree about the Goats
Great review! How do they compare to the Speedgoat 4?
Thanks! I’ve not tried the SG4. I have tried the SG3 and SG2, and neither of these are like the Speedgoats. Both the Zinal and Torrent 2 are quite a bit lower stack height than the Goats. Not as cushioned of a ride.
@@UltraTrailSteven Thanks. I think I’ll end up trying the speedgoats because the extra cushion is important to me. I’m not a fast runner anyway.
Agree with every single thing mentioned. I have the Torrent 2 and I’ve had 3 pairs of original Torrent with 2 pairs still going strong. I now reach for the Zinal every time. I just prefer it, even to the original Torrent, which was my favourite shoe of all time. The only thing I prefer about the Torrent 2 is the grip, just feels a little bit more grippy. Very happy with my Zinal and I’ve retired the Torrent 2 to hiking.
Awesome! I really love the Zinal!
I do races in grass, forest, mud, dry etc. I do like 4:17 km on 7km trail race like that forest, grass... what is better option for me?
Grass and forest probably the Zinal. For muddy stuff, the Torrent 2
@@UltraTrailSteven bought zinal :D, i had salomon supercross 3 before and they are small for me and the tension system has snapped right before race so i decided to buy new hoka.
I feel that the grip on the torant is better than the speed goat 4
Interesting. I think it grips really well too
math LOL
LOL
