What were the best running shoes for beginners? How did the Ghost 16 do?

Size compared to Nike?
@fitfirstfootwear10 күн бұрын
This model definitely fits bigger than most Nikes. Size down from your typical Nike fit!

New Balance has for several years now, been working hard to counter my decades of loyalty to their shoes...I think they've finally done it. Called NB three different times, out of frustration of not finding a replacement with as wide a toe box as the 840 V4/5s. Got different suggestions on each call, none of which seemed to address what I was looking for in the 840s. They did suggest the 840 F, which I find to be a completely different shoe, and not in a good way. Threw them away before I got hurt.

Best looking and fitting running shoes I’ve owned.

Neutral shoe wearer who likes to run in shoes that are just a touch "sloppy". Was in love with this shoe before I even got to the gate. Ran a cruisy 45 mins fresh out of the box. Felt like I could have run for hours..

Im confused about the sizing do i need to size up or is it true to size??

We're seeing most people size down after trying them on in store. They fit big!

As a beginner completed my first 5k need something to give me a little bounce motivation . Loving the look of these beauties. Are they true to size ?

I went to barefoot shoes and world of a difference, Hykes Flex are my new favorite shoe. I will never go back to regular shoes.

I don't run. I like New Balance so I can get X wide. I like the 840 because it is so vented. My feet stay cool, no stink. What can I replace it with? I don't understand most of the things you said here. Stacks, flex, 4mm. What? I want shoes that don't pinch and have good ventilation.

five generations over 2 decades. Thats how it used to be done and should still be now. Now each model lasts like 8 months before it's gone forever. such a gimmick and con, running shoe world. Why do we need new models every 8 to 12 months? It's absurd. Every new model can't be called an iteration because theyre often drastically different in fit and feel. I hate running shoe world yet I love good running shoes. the market is extremely anti consumer and the consumers just eat it.

@billiewells80296 ай бұрын
I'm a little late to the party. I must have bought a pair of the 840s just before they were discontinued. The Brooks Dyad have also been discontinued. I'm trying to find Saucony Echelon in my size. I was 8 2E women's in New Balance and may now be an 8.5. I have a plate in my left big toe. And a bunion plus crooked toes on my right. My old 840s are almost falling apart and I have been trying to find something remotely comfortable. My feet are really not doing well with these beat up shoes but I haven't found any remotely comfortable. It looks like there's an Echelon 8 and 9 - which one would be a good option? Any other recommendations?
@jonjane90596 ай бұрын
New to running, interval run/walk at moment. Thinking a cushion shoe with stability and wider toe box.. I have had Brooks before... curious what you recommend... Im slow, 3-5 miles, and want to avoid injury being new...

You could do worse! But this has more of a “performance” feel to them and you may be better off with the CloudRunner 2 from ON…

In a world of overly plush mid soles, this is on the firmer side… give it 30-50km and they soften up nicely 😘🤌

It's too bad the 840 was discontinued. I am a front line worker at a hospital and these were the best ever. I am disappointed. This was a poor decision. Other versions don't work for me. I will keep my old 840 v5 till I retire. 😢
@fitfirstfootwear8 ай бұрын
You are not alone!! The only comparable shoe we've found in this category is the Saucony Echelon... It's not quite as robust as the 840v5, but it's close and has a great accommodative fit and wide sole.

Thank you for the great review! I got these fitted at my local shoe shop which was including video on the treadmill to see my running style, both shop owner and myself preferred this model for my needs (shorter and longer distance, lightweight). Bought them and looking forward to get some training in towards my first half marathon.

My original ON were great with rounder toe box. Then they decided to re-design and ruin like most ladies' shoes. Narrowing the toe box! Recently bought 2 pairs and found that different colors fit differently. Still a fan. Looking forward to trying this new design!

Going from 10mm to 4mm is too dramatic. You guys are hoping to sell more shoes by going low drop and hanging with he "cool kids" which may not work. No one is going to switch from Hoka, tope or altra to NB. I will just keep my Topos if I want a 4mm drop shoe Also heading to Amazon to pick up some 840 V5s
@fitfirstfootwear8 ай бұрын
We agree that it's a shame NB is moving more of their shoes to lower drops... In fact it's not just NB, all brands are seeming to do so... But there are still some great 10mm+ shoes on the market filling that need. PS. we have a few 840v5's left in stock... going fast though!
@JenniferCowin9 ай бұрын
It's time to upgrade by 840V5 and I see there is now the 840F x Foam Fresh - is this the same as the 840F you reviewed in the video? Wasn't sure if Foam Fresh is another model now.
@fitfirstfootwear8 ай бұрын
Yup, the 840F is the same as the 840F x Fresh Foam. As mentioned in our video, do not expect anywhere close to the same shoe as the v5! We have a few pair of v5's left in stock but they are going fast!
