Hi Ben appreciate you aren’t a stability trainer wearer however could you do a video on the best stability shoes? Also, currently following your marathon plan. Have the Norfolk marathon in Cromer in April 🤞

Awesome video, Ben

[@muhammadkhawarizmi5751]

Tq ben for a nice shoes review.. my favourite absolutely will be vaporfly 3 😊

[@Logo-qr3he]

Why not alphafly

[@GBingus]

I’m very new to running - I do weekly 10ks on weekends and 2 5ks during the week. If you are looking to save some money, the Nike winflo 10’s are pretty sweet. I also own the Pegasus trail running shoes, which are awesome as well, but more pricey.

[@dhananjaysingh754]

Thankyou for saving so much time . Precise explanation.

[@symuhush]

Amazing work 🎉

[@davidpage8147]

Great video, I'd love a saucony video with speed 4 and pro 4 on the way plus triumph 22 coming soon

[@JustBrowsing777]

Thanks, appreciate the video, providing me with an update on the Nike running shoe collection. Have not run much in many years and when I have it's been on Asics and now recently New Balance. Time to buy new ones, will check the Nike's, I always liked them in the past.

[@Ydake23]

going to start running for the first time,just ordered the Pegasus 40s for $65 thanks for the video!

[@Dramatello]

Wow that’s a too good to be true price there. Good for you

[@paulwarda]

i have the invincible 3 and had the same heel slip issue until i used the back eyelet and front eyelet in tandem. completely solved my problems!

[@gillieMAR]

I just can’t get myself to like the 3s, that sole just looks awefull to me, and some reason I just like the version 2s so much more

[@user-vk5ws3jl1l]

Good chronological review. I ran my 5k pr on The Pegasus, couldnt improve it with the carbon plated nikes that came out later.

[@runnerdan785]

Thank you, just thank you! I don’t know what else to say 👍

[@emanuelsantos5585]

Excelent video. I love Invincible 2 , Vaporfly 1 and Alphafly 1 . I have other Nikes but Thais 3 i 😍😍😍

[@ElRadioDJ913]

I am more of an adidas guy but Nike's craftmanship in running shoes is by far the best I've seen. The only Nike running shoes I've own were Revolution 6 and they are comfortable.

[@tomcat1319]

I tried on the Vomero 17 in a store today. The heel felt a little clunky! I look forward to see what the React X foam for the Pegasus 41 will be like. I'm a Pegasus die hard that goes back 15 years with the shoe. It has always been my versatile Go To Shoe. 5K up to Marathons! Thanks for the Content!

[@Mickeeey18]

Great video myself i have the pegasus 40 , next video asics ? i have the novablast 3

[@georgehiscox3378]

There is also the Nike Zoom structure shoes which I've loved as someone who over pronates a touch. Super durable (my version 24s have nearly 1000ks) and comfortable and a solid all-round shoe for runners that need the extra stability 🏃👟

[@Phaseish]

I had the same problem with the Invincbile run 3 today at the store and I downsized from a 10 to a 9 1/2 and it was all good after that super comfy.

[@simoneavery2253]

Nice video! I was a huge fan of the Nike Air Zoom Tempo Next% and really miss it. Which Nike shoe comes close to it? (sorry, I find the Pegasus and Vomeros just too boring).

[@Jonayo28]

The streakfky while having no plate it does have a mid foot shank to help stabilize the foam so that’s it’s not overly wonky. Nike still have another stability option called the Nike Structure on its 25 version now.

[@jeanines_channel3246]

Hello. I think the Swift line is the best for me, for trainers. For actual runs (races), I like ASICS gels. But I do love Nike shoes.

[@Logo-qr3he]

Lets Go Ben!🎉

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great video Ben, all of the Nike regular shoes feel cumbersome to me but I love the Streakfly and Alphafly 3. Strangely, I struggle with the Vaporfly 3 which is surprising as I think version 1 & 2 are the best race shoes ever across all distances (Aphafly 3 is definitely better for anything 10 miles and above now, though).

[@mikeharvey7383]

I agree about the vaporflys, loved the version 1's and the plasticky upper, liked the version 2's bur preferred the 1's upper and the jury is still out on the 3's, ran about 100k in them but not raced in them.

[@nikoscoulson]

Please could you review some of the Mizuno range? I’ve struggled with Asics and Nike for fit but would love to hear what you think of Mizuno.

[@Jknessmic]

Fantastic video.

[@davecourtney7027]

Are the Nike Tempo Next% still in your rotation or which of the ones reviewed would be a similar feel?

[@rayane9175]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for new shoes to run like : - 3-4 miles x2 / week - Jumping rope every day - Fractional running x2 / week I think the carbon plate is useless for my profile. Need some advice please. The invincible 3 looks amazing. (70kg and have shin periostit)

[@Auser429]

Ben, what about the Nike Air Zoom Tempo Next %? I ran my last two marathons in that shoe!

[@finding_health]

Please do a video like this for On. I'm SO confused by all of their options. I'm in the market for an easy run/daily training shoe with a decent amount of cushioning and am overwhelmed by all of the options out there.

[@Trailrunner1978]

I've got just two Nike shoes now. Vaporfly Next 2 and Vomero 16. The Vomero is also surprisingly fast. I also have good models from other brands, Saucony, Puma, Hoka. What is very clear is that the Nike shoes are more legsaving. I actually regret I didn't buy more Nike shoes.

[@chinpoeykhoo6261]

Complete information about Nike line up and detailed prons and cons for each Nike shoes, would be great if we have a complete line up from PUMA or Hoka.

[@jo_cho]

he did a 2023 hoka video

[@waleedsulaiman651]

For me the Streakfly is a 3-5km Time trial/race shoe. Whenever I use it for longer than 5km's my feet are busted. The reason for that is, you feel so low to the ground and you feel almost everything.. Because you hitting the ground hard It does not give that energy return back to the legs like the Zoom next% or Alphafly... The Zoom fly 5 is fairly comfortable BUT heavy. Definitely not a 10km speed shoe, should be used for longer runs.... My all time favourite is the Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT %... I am on my 3rd pair!. Cant wait for the version 2

[@christhomas8256]

Hi Ben, when it comes to carbon plate shoes do you agree with the research that states these are only beneficial to those that consistently run at a minimum pace of around 7:30mi?

[@zeroelus]

Thank you for making sense of all of these options. As someone who sometimes follows running shoe tech along and sometimes doesn't, this is a great refresher on where the line up stands today. I've been very happy with the Peg 39 I've gotten, once my previous pair wore down I got a Peg 39 premiums on sale and went with those. I can be all day on these, I can go walk the dog, I can go on a quick jog or I can use them for a bit of tennis stroke drills here at home, provided I'm not doing more leg oriented drills that are better served with some purpose tennis shoes. Once these are done I might try the vomero 17s on your recommendation, but if the price is right on the Pegagsus 40(or 41) those will probably be it for me again.

[@Rockondevil]

I’m after something to replace the Tempo Next % which has been my favourite shoe for years now. I had issues with the Alphafly V1 with my forefoot hanging over the side and giving blisters.

[@PetertheSecond2]

yes i loved the tempo next % but they just kept ripping so i have to get something else

[@Running_with_Damien]

I have Pegasus 40s for easy and Vaporfly 2s for racing, I would like to try Invincibles and Vaporfly 3s next and have also never tried an Alphafly

[@HoytMcBeth]

I have a thing for cheap running shoes, and the Nike Revolution ($US 60) is a great value shoe. They have a bit more cushion than older models, but it is on the form side. Even took it in an incredibly muddy and technical trail this weekend and it performed pretty well. My daily though is the WinFlo which can soak up the miles without being a marshmallow mess.

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

One show that I always wanted but didn’t get a few years back was the winflo winterized version that was like purple black and green. I just liked the look of them.

[@DanielCclements]

Would love a review of the current adidas line up!

[@od7763]

Hey Ben. Ive been on the lookout for a new pair of nike running shoes. Currently i have a pair of vaporflys i only use for races and speed work. For everyday use i have a tore down pair of vomero 16. Ive been looking at pegasus 40 vs the vomero 17, but i just saw that the pegasus 41 should arrive soon. What would you suggest for a everyday running shoe, vomero 17 or pegasus 41? Best regards from Denmark!

[@sebastianvggemose2238]

Hi Ben I'm running a half marathon in June. I just bought the Invincible 3 and a have a pair of Streakflys as well (I've run 250-300 km in the Streakfly). Which shoe would you recommend that I wear for the half marathon?

[@jordanoliver582]

I'm a kind of beginner but hooked into the sport was debating on the vapourfly or the streakfly what do you think is best and what do you thing for a good trainer for training days

[@jacobs.6635]

Heldebededeeeeee And welcome back to the channel

[@MiracleWarriors]

I have both Nike Invincible 3 and the Infinity 4. I prefer the cushioning and rocker ride of the Infinity 4 ,but the Invincible 3 has a more comfortable upper that hugs my feet really well without having to be super snug ad the Infinity 4. For long runs I prefer the Invincible and for easy short runs the Infinity is amazingly relaxing with the rocker it has.

[@playingindies6730]

I own the invincible 2 and 3. And while the 3 visually looks better, and quite a bit better.. the 2 is so much better in comfort. The 2's upper is just so much more comfortable that the 3 felt like a huge step back to me.

[@MiracleWarriors]

@playingindies6730 I overpronate, and the Invincible 3 works marvelous to me. But I did not have the two previous versions that were very unstable for overpronation running, or so I heard. I want to see if the Invincible 4 will be another "heavy " high cushioning shoes that are faster then most highly cushioning stack shoes OR maybe Nike will make the next Invincible to compete with super trainers, like the SuperBlast 2 or a Cloud Monster Hyper, for example. I only got my Invincible because of last year's Black Friday because I don't think they are worth full price for what it does. Even that I ended loving my pair.

[@Star_Can_Howl]

Great video! Would love to see similar with ASICS and Hoka - particularly Hoka as I’m a bit confused over some of their range, though love the Rocket X2

Hey Ben, thanks for the great video and honest feedback. I am kind of a starter and would like to know your feedback for the Nike Revolution - could you please share some feedback on the same ?

[@StrengthRunning1]

I’d love reviews on Topo and Altra shoes!! It would be a little bit different and very interesting.

[@cgcsantelices]

I am an avid fan of Nike running shoes ever since I was engaged in Marathon running way back 2017, and I own different types of it. Per my experience using it all, I can say that my most favorite pairs would be the Nike Infinity Run React 3 and the Nike Pegasus 39! I love the stability and durability of the Nike React, and versatility on my Nike Peg. Feels really good with my feet, and it’s so comfortable! With my Nike Invincible 3 and Nike Zoomfly 4, I often roll my feet, and I actually had sprained my ankle. :( Nike Vaporfly on the other hand feels so tight that my feet can’t wear it for a longer time. Just my two cents. :)

[@AhmedButt-ku1ym]

REQUEST. Your expert opinion pls. Which is overall better shoe among NIKE INVINCIBLE 3 or NEW BALANCE FRESHFOAM 1080 V13. Thank you

[@jonathanreichbach8392]

[@martinlanders6135]

No mention of the Nike Structure 25? I’d love to know how that lines up against the others.

[@jaroslawlewandowski4520]

The streakfly helped me with my plantar fasciitis by wearing it for slow recovery runs and as a daily trainer once a week.

[@toddlesiak3837]

How did you treat your plantar? I've had it for a few months, & it's so painful that I can hardly walk at times

[@Laolu90]

@@toddlesiak3837 1. Use a lower cushioned lower stacked shoe for easy runs like the streakfly once or twice a week instead of always using a max cushioned daily trainer like the Novablast all the time. 2. Throw away your shoe if you think it’s causing plantar fasciitis even if it hasn’t reached 250/300 miles. 3. Do calf raises barefoot at home. Everything is discussed in this video, it really helped: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3chaJ9lsSBjtksi=m2nykSXVvmC2uYFN

[@Laolu90]

1. Find a lower stacked less cushioned shoe like the streafkly to do your easy runs in instead of doing most of your runs in a high stacked high cushioned shoe. 2. Throw out your current running shoe if the plantar gets inflamed during, just after or the day after the run. 3. Do barefoot calf raises at home and stretch out your big toe as much as you can. Buy a small massage ball and use that under your feet everyday by rolling your foot on in. 4. Watch a short video on plantar fasciitis on KZbin by Sagasu Running. 5. Wish you a speedy recovery!

[@emekaojiako2470]

What one would you recommend for running on treadmill?

[@Jam0470]

Hey. I have a quick question. I recently bought the alphafly 2 for running the 1600, 3200, and 5k. I understand these are for marathons but I really love them and are used to them now. Money is not the issue, it is the fact that these shoes break/weardown so easily. I use them as trainers and everyday shoes as in going to get coffee and work in these. Would you reccomend the alphafly 3. I am worried that they will breakdown just as easily.

[@Huntelaar13]

Every time I see your close up, I think, they look too big for you?! Have just bought my (first) marathon shoes and inspired by this I went a half size up in case of movement / swelling. Would love a more in-depth ‘fitting/sizing’ episode.

[@jo_cho]

it would be great if you could do the same video for puma and adidas, but I understand if you weren't able to buy enough shoes.

[@Dramatello]

The peg 39s started to feel too flat and almost like I’m slapping the ground. Could be because I used it for weightlifting too, I ran like 480km with them. What I’m looking for is a more plushy and fun shoes that will push me a bit more….. so I guess the Vomero 17 should be perfect. Except I’m afraid of the extra few grams. I hope they are not felt all that much.

[@francescborrull9342]

Pegasus and Zoom Fly 5 for me. That's all I need!

[@TheMap1997]

How do you rotate it? And what's the purpose of each one?

[@francescborrull9342]

In a well structured training running program, there are different kinds of workouts like easy runs, recovery runs, tempo runs, intervals, and long runs. In my case, I use the Pegasus for easy, recovery and long runs. I use the Zoom Fly 5 for tempo and interval runs. The Fly 5 is also the shoe I am racing in this 2024. If you want to be even more 'picky' or specific, you could have a dedicated shoe for recovery runs (one with extra cushion, aka max cushion shoe), and if you are very fast (I'd say faster than 7 minute per mile), the Vaporfly is the 'one' shoe to race 1/2 and marathon races. I am a slower runner, thus I don't need a Vaporfly, the Zoom Fly 5 is enough for me. I hope this helps. @@TheMap1997

[@lapins86]

A very, clear and concise breakdown there Ben. Thank you Would anyone on here recommend the vamero 15s? I've seen them in the sale at a nike outlet with 50% off ! So wondered if I should give them a go for my SLRs for the Brighton marathon training block
