I never heard of a tongue pillow. I've managed to find a way to tie them that doesn't put too much pressure on my foot. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not a professional ShoeTuber. I just try to answer the questions that I would want answered.

Thanks. I watch Yowana's videos daily but sometimes it takes me all day to finish. :)

I learned from the black toenail on the Novablast 3.

I tried a 10.0 and they were unwearable. Still a nice slow cruiser but I've trended towards a lot of lighter shoes, too.

Definitely a workhorse shoe.

I've got over 600 miles now but I'm not terribly hard on my shoes.

De nada

Thanks.

I have a complicated relationship with the Superblast. First of all, it is a really good quality shoe and very comfortable on foot. My problem is that the foam is a little firm and I'm only about 135 lbs. with a light foot strike so I don't compress the foam enough to really roll smoothly off the toe. Although the Superblast has a nice heel bevel and toe spring, it feels like a long, flat shoe, so I'm not rolling all the way through the way I do with shoes like the Nimbus or the More v4. Your mechanics may be different. If you are going up over 10, 15+ miles, the Superblast will probably be more protective than the Deviate Nitro 2. Also, keep in mind that the Superblast 2 should be coming in a few months, with FF Turbo+ foam, meaning it may be slightly softer and bouncier. You may consider waiting, as it is a pricey shoe or, if you want Superblast v1, I'd anticipate some serious markdowns. I hope this helps.

@@kuriosites I’m 162#, so I do think I can compress the foam. From where I’m from, ASICS has already taken the Superblast off the shelves. So I won’t be able to snipe a good discount at my US 10 sizing. I do know that a lot of new shoes will be out this year, so I will wait patiently. Every time, I run on the Deviate Nitro 2, it delights me. Comfy, bouncy, does well at all paces but tending on the fast side. I don’t want to pay for something expensive and end up finding it a lesser shoe. Thanks for the reply.

Leaked photos of the Deviate Nitro Elite 3 show a considerable toe spring. I'm not sure about the new Mag Max (?).

I'm not training for anything and I really just go out and do 4-10 miles a few times per week. It often takes me awhile to rack up the miles in a shoe but I had injured my foot at work and this was the only shoe I could run in for a few weeks. Thanks for your kind words. I will try to get my 100 mile review of the Mach 6 up soon.

Both are pretty versatile but the Deviate Nitro 2 can pretty much do it all. Hyperion Max is a little faster at the top end but not by much and is a little more rockered. Deviate Nitro 2 is a little softer and bouncier and I prefer it for longer miles. It's about an ounce heavier but it doesn't feel like much on foot.

Thanks for watching. I just try to give as much detail as possible because we all have different needs.

It says Nitro Elite. That part of the forefoot padding is the Nitro Elite foam. At the heel area, it uses the Nitro Foam.

Thanks for commenting. Specs on both of those shoes are similar but they feel really different under foot. You can probably find either on sale now.

If you mean the fit of the upper, they're pretty similar. At 10.5, I feel plenty of room in the toe box on the Hyperion Max as well. Hyperion Max is just a firmer shoe under foot.

@@kuriosites if you size .5 down in superblast is it snug for you? Just like hyperion max upper is woven material snug fit makes it much better?

@@reginaldgonzales I never tried it 1/2 size down. However, the fit of the upper, for me, is pretty similar to my other Asics shoes. I did have the Novablast 3 in a 10.0 and I regretted it later.

I also like a slightly firmer foam. I have not tried the Noosa Tri 15. The rocker on that shoe is much later and sharper. I did get the Hyperion Max at a deep discount and that shoe has a late rocker, a firm foam, and very smooth transitions. It does take awhile to break in though; about 75 miles for me.

@@kuriosites Many thanks. I appreciated your detail on the difference in rocker between 14 and 15. First time I had read that.

I'm a huge advocate of weight training, not just for running but for health and longevity. Weight training will force your body to work through a full range of motion in a way that running or walking cannot do. It also strengthens the bones, muscles, and connective tissues, which can help prevent injury. I'm not super strong. I'm just a skinny, middle-aged dad but I do a total body workout every 4-5 days, incorporating all the basic movements and I might throw in a few extra pull-ups and dips every few days. Good luck with your recovery.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm going to focus on getting these and the Superblast up to 100 miles as soon as possible. It will probably take about a month.

I find them pretty comfortable on foot for walking. However, they took me about 75 miles of running to break them in and they are still pretty firm after that. Also, some people may not like that sharp heel bevel for walking. If you get them at a huge discount, maybe it's worth a try.

Puma's midsole foams and outsoles are first rate. However, I think 10 mm drop is too much for me, as a mid-to-forefoot striker. I will keep my eye out for the Deviate Nitro 3 though. Leaked photos online look pretty nice.

Thanks. I've almost got the Rebel v3 up to 100 miles so I will do one on that shoe soon. I also want to compare all of my lightweight trainers.

Thanks.

Despite the fact that v3 lost some weight, I don't know that I felt either one was faster. I used them both for the same type of runs and never really put it to the test. The drop in the v2 felt higher, despite specs being the same, and v3 was more comfortable to walk in but both felt equally good on the run. I probably won't get v4 but that is because my preferences have changed to lower stacked, lighter shoes. The Evoride Speed 2 just dropped and that looks nice. I hope that helps.

$20 is a steal. The Noosas are very comfortable. I have been picking up the Hyperion Max more frequently lately though because I feel more protection on long runs. I really like these lightweight, rockered trainers.

@@kuriosites I like them as well, I am a softer shoe fan but I enjoy mixing it up with a couple light old school shoes here and there.

Thanks for the kind words. It's definitely a well-made shoe.

which shoe did you take to 1200miles? I am looking for a durable shoe for marathon training

@rpgeraltofrivia4626 not sure if it's quite 1200 miles yet, but I got at least 1200-1500 km on the puma deviate Nitro 2. Still a decent spring and ok rubber on the main points of contact is worn down a bit more than in the video the other parts look really good.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I don't know about 1300 miles. I'm at about 550 right now and there is still adequate outsole traction and the foam feels good. At some point, the foam will lose its properties but I don't know when that is yet.

@@kuriosites got it, I appreciate your response!!

It's a great all-arounder.

Thanks. I'll keep testing but I won't do a review less than 100 miles and I'll take my shoes to about 500+ unless they're not working for me.

Interesting. I never noticed it feeling warm and I've done quite a bit of running in warm weather.

I don't like public gyms either. I actually enjoy lifting weights although I try to keep it pretty simple because I run a lot, too, plus family obligations. If I really wanted to go bare-bones, just to maintain muscle and bone mass, I'd probably just do a push, a pull, and a squat. For me, that would probably be Dips, Pull-ups, and Squats. However, you could also sub in other exercises with a similar movement pattern.
