I once again ask for "helloeverybody!"

@RE71476AD 5 ай бұрын

Indeed, however my guess would be that given Ben's international audience and also the way KZbin works (previews of first 20 seconds of a vid when you hover) that many non-UK did not quite catch the "helloeverybody!". And may have put non-subs off. I think Ben should just slip in the phrase randomly during a vid....then we can all wait on tenterhooks for it....might also be good for more viewers (anticipation). Approaching 200k subs now....and maybe a Q&A ! Then maybe you can request the phrase.

Thank you Ben, followed one of your training plans and ran a 3:48 trail marathon! 😊 PR for me🎉

Ran in Salomon (Ultraglide) and NB (FFX More 2) last year, this year (2024) using the Saucony Xodus 2 and the Hoka Challenger 7. Of all these shoes the Hoka is the most comfortable and is my main training shoe for the trails down here in Canberra, Australia. I used a previous Nike Pegasus 4 trail shoe briefly but could not fix the heel slip with a runners knot, so had to give them away.

I got the Hoka challenger 7s to train for my first marathon, and I really love them! I live in central Sweden and have the privilege of having lots of nice nature just outside my door and they've dealt super well with most conditions, even with some of the snowy weather we still had in the spring (though I've needed to put spikes on them when its really icy out). They were so comfy right from the get go. Maybe the narrow fit is jot for everyone (I have narrow feet) but for me, they have been perfect.

So many options. Novablast 4 TR for me. Imagine a Superblast 2 TR ! Achilles issues are common for me...insertional achilles tendonitis mainly. Stretching and ankle mobility (combat stretches etc) was making it worse!

The Hoka Challenger 7s are my favourite! I'm on my third pair now having put a combined total of 2300km (mixture of walking and running) on the first two. They're so durable and comfortable for wherever I'm running and I don't feel like they slow me down at all. Plus they come in such cool colours!

This review came at the right time! I just bought a Peg trail 5 at a great price for my non technical trail runs. Hoka Speedgoat 5 is my go-to shoe for more technical terrains.

Great reviews! I think my trails are a bit too technical for road-to-trail shoes, but I think they're a great option for someone.

@robin29991 5 ай бұрын

Out of these have only tried the Challenger 7 but absolutely love that one. Like you said, it feels almost identical to the Clifton on the road, and it is even the same weight in my size, but it gives you the flexibility to survive a little bit of mud if you have to.

@jlhuk52 3 ай бұрын

I like the look of the challenger atr but i am skeptical at the durability of the hokas. I have owned a pair of inov-8 roclite 305s for several years which i have felt are perfect road to trail shoes and you can rely on them for technical and muddy terrain as well.

@matthewwatson9279 5 ай бұрын

I’ve been really enjoying the Altra experience wild recently. I think it’s a good trail shoe that doubles as a decent road to trail option.

@Danielsyoutubechanel 5 ай бұрын

I love that you tell us if the shoes have a wide option, and how the standard versions toe box feel. As a wide foot runner I have a real struggle finding good fitting shoes. I wish all manufacturers did wide versions of their shoes. Looking forward for the trail videos! ⛰️🌲

Great reviews! I’m all about these hybrid shoes, I’ve been running in ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25 TR all year and it’s great for the road but not enough grip for trails. I got a Pegasus Trail 5 and it’s considerably grippier and even more comfortable. I also had a Hoka Challenger 6 that was so good I ended up using it too much for daily wear.

I've had multiple pairs of the Salmon Sense RIde (3 and 4) in the past. Great all round trail shoes, I've taken them up to 50km. I'd agree they start to feel a bit firm after then. I'd also say they're not ideal in road conditions. If you have to run on the road for a bit they're fine, but you end up wishing you had normal road shoes.

Hey Ben, thanks for the great reviews as always! I'm signing up to the Thames Path 100km in September and was thinking what shoes you would recommend. Saw your review of the Superblast version 2 saying that would be ok on light trails or would you opt for one of these perhaps or a full on trail shoe? Thanks!

I found the Challenger ATR to be like running on stiff blocks. I hated the shoe. The Hoka SG feels like a much more comfortable shoe, although designed for a different purpose. I've got the Peg5 otw to try it.

Never tried a Salomon shoe I liked. They're so hard in every way, like putting your feet in some kind of plastic moulds...

@heymrguitarman7637 5 ай бұрын

Road to trail is a misleading term. For example, the Hoka trainers tested here have the exact same outsole as the Hoka Tecton X2 which is the brands flagship trail shoe. Obviously they're designer for harder packed trails but they're still essentially the same shoes that have won UTMB grip wise.

Tecton X2 is vibram megagrip. Challenger 7 is nothing, like torrent.

@jlhuk52 3 ай бұрын

From my experience a shoe like one of these or a light trail shoe would be suitable. Mostly hardpack dirt and rocky terrain. I ran race to the tower and trained with the nike wildhorse 7 and inov8 roclite along sections of the Cotswold way.

@jansommerlund5497 5 ай бұрын

My absolute favourite is the NB Fuelcell Venym. Excellent midsole, perfect fit and a decent grip. No other shoe comes even close PS: your girlfriend are dead right
