Diadora Gara Carbon | Full Review | Bellissima

[@adamsouthard1155]

This just gave me an idea for an episode (or 3). You should get all your reviewers to rate their favorite super shoes. Then describe what kind of runner they are: Forefoot, midfoot, rear foot striker? How relatively fast they are at the marathon and maybe how relatively big/heavy of a runner they are. Then you can do an episode about which super shoe is best for which type of runner. And why? Is it soft? Aggressive? rockered? Anyway there you go. It's NOT a super shoe tier list. It's a Super Shoe matching guide.

Yesterday, I did my first run with the Gara long reps. I loved them! They provided good grip on wet asphalt even at high speeds. My feet remained comfortable during and after the run.. Thank you guys. Your review introduced me to these great shoes. 💣🥰 I am an italian and love Carbonara 😂

[@Believeintherun]

Glad you enjoyed them (and carbonara)! Thanks for watching!

[@TheHutchRuns]

Another great review guys, I'd struggle laying out $300 on a shoe from a brand that doesn't have much back story in the UK and there are so many great shoes out there, I'll stick with Hoka Rocket X2 for shorter races and AF3 for longer!

About 7:16, one of the funniest conversations while working in the beer industry was about Tecate = Ducati. Keep up the fun!

[@edlorenz1552]

The gingle music in the background was maddening! It keeps playing in my head now.

Good afternoon. Like to Thomas and Robbe. Have a great friday.

[@elliotendures]

I REALLY hope they bring that midsole to the company's trainers. Love the looks and love the idea of the made in Italy shoes, but EVA just doesn't excite.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

This model is not made in Italy but China.

Wow not a funeral video like the Brooks 😂

What kind of laces are these? Alpha fly and vapor fly use them too. Any clue where to find replacements or what to look for?

[@jean-pierosgriccia4520]

I want one. I'm going to buy it. I definitely like how fashionable is. I want look like Robbie😅. Brooks you need to be a subscriber. Those people will teach you a couple hhings how to make a race shoe. Ciao!

[@spenceraronfeld4456]

Great review guys!

[@didoma73]

Thomas looking good with the Just For Men; Robbe needs some too

[@jonathansharp1628]

I’ve just done a 15 miler in these, with 40 mins at MP. I’m really torn on what I think. The upper is sloppy, too baggy, does not feel like a race shoe. I also felt I had too much shoe underneath me. The midsole is marshmallow. But….. I kept being surprised by the power I was delivering relative to effort. And legs felt fresh at the end. I particularly noticed the power boost on uphills. So it’s a good shoe, a very good training shoe but I don’t think it merits $300, it’s not a race shoe and I’m sticking with my VF3 for Boston.

[@Believeintherun]

That's a pretty fair assessment

[@Otis220]

If you don't mind, could you share your weight?

[@cibulo-9050]

Hello, nice review. I recently ran a marathon in the Vaporfly3. Previously used the Vapofly2 which seemed softer. I had hard legs in the second part and did not feel the bounce I used to on the previous version. Being a long distance triathlete I want a more forgiving and softer race shoe than the Vaporfly3, maybe the Gara Carbon is the answer? Also, never tried the Alphfly, how is that compared to the Gara Carbon? I am referring to paces in the 2h50 3h10 range for the run station. Thanks for your help

[@Maximilian745]

Gara carbon deffinitely most soft super shoes on market now.if you want soft shoes with charcteristic race shoes it very good choose.

[@Otis220]

Could you compare this to the TYR Valkyrie racer? What super shoe does this feel closest to in your opinion? Appreciate all your great reviews. I first saw BITR when Thomas was interviewing Danny Orr on the NB SCE V3. i said to myself , "this guy is good, he know his stuff and is not scared to ask the neeeded questions". Great team chemistry & humor!!!!! , " Carboooon"😅. keep it up!!!!!

[@Believeintherun]

The TYR felt the most similar to the Saucony Endorphin Pro. The Gara is a smoother ride. Both offer excellent energy return.

[@Otis220]

I've now have had the TYR Valkyrie Elite Racer for a bit. You're totally right about it feeling like a Saucony EP3. If I could add a little...it's like a hybrid with the Saucony Endorphin Elite because the late aggressive rocker is the same, not like the earlier stage/less aggressive Speedroll in the pro 3. I also now prefer it to one of my favs, the EP3 because it feels better for my 200 lb size. I guess I'd call it, "the Clydesdale EP3 with an EE1 rocker". I know this is a El Carboooone review. Definitely softer and I feel the low drop. Great shoe though! Lastly, excited to hear about this new foam in the shock limited release of the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2. Ran Amsterdam Marathon last year in the first version. Great firm shoe.

[@frankhugh2052]

Went to your website for first time in a year. Unusable, you now have so many ads popping up. Way to go guys. See you in 2025 perhaps

[@datdudeinred]

With the advent of flexible oled screens i can imagine a day where we get a tiny display on the top of forefoot or on the heelcup where it'll show us the miles we ran in that shoe. Just like how we can sort photos by lens used. Or hours played in games. Etc.

[@Believeintherun]

For sure that'll be here in like 10 years

[@themanorruns]

The $300 price tag immediately made me think of your uncle Salvatore going “tree hunnred dallars? What was it dipped in gold???”

[@m3phist0]

The Tatanka reference. If you know, you know. #80s kid

[@pettyrok]

These look nice! Any ties to San Antonio? Dig the Bexar Goods (BRC) jumper!

[@JRuns]

The easiest way to tell if he's a local would be to ask him how he pronounces it : )

[@Believeintherun]

No ties, just have one of their wallets and love their gear. And I know it's pronounced 'bear.'

[@babyyoda134]

Will anyone on the Believe in the Run team use it as a race day shoe in a marathon? It's heavy, it's expensive, ... it's a green light. 😕

[@mintymus]

Diadora gives them a lot of sponsor $$, so of course they're going to say it's a great shoe.

[@bbnd5476]

​@mintymus then how do you explain the Brooks review?

[@Believeintherun]

This is 100% inaccurate.

[@Believeintherun]

The weight is in line with other major brands race day options. For the Boston Marathon three of us are wearing adidas and one is wearing AlphaFLY 3.

[@mintymus]

@@Believeintherun They paid you to show off the EQUIPE CORSA, you said you were going to do a review and never did. Why?

Shoe looks great (not like that bulky, chunky basketball shoe looking AF3), too bad it's too expensive.

[@kaprikornian1]

I will happily try this shoe next year if it gets around 160$. But 300$? Hell no.

Just picked these up. Can't wait to test them out. Have a sub from me :)

While it may be true that "the democratization of race day shoes is here," at $225-300+ I'd love to see their commoditization and price reduction!

It's definitely a good looking shoe. Just overpriced imho.

[@B1gC4st]

Made in Italy 300 or made in China 250? Ick...is this made in China?

[@Believeintherun]

China 300... the land of the Alphafly, Endorphin Pro 4, Adios Pro 3

[@wonkydonkey7899]

Atomo v7000 is made in Italy and cheaper. I believe some colorways are on discount.

[@Sabundy]

yup...made in China like your iphone, and many other companies super shoes.

[@mintymus]

@@Believeintherun Also the land of shoes that don't cost $300.

Yes.....made in China. Like your iPhone. And most other brands super shoes.
