What are the big things you look for in picking a shoe?

@joseantoniomarquezfernande3638 17 күн бұрын

Nike Infinity run 4 con react x es muy bueno el compuesto,pero el rocker y drop mas bajos serían más adecuados además de la geometría de la media suela externa lo estropean un poco,ancho de pies bueno y talón mejorable tipo Asics g t 2000 12.

David describing his taste as boring and unfussy and then pivoting to talking about some kind of chicken/artichoke/pesto sauce monstrosity in the pizza analogy really was the most SoCal answer possible 😂

I'm 6'5"/250lbs, so I look for protection via cushion/shock absorption as I'm a bit of a Clydesdale runner. I also look for a shoe that's accommodating through the midfoot (around the base of the 5th metatarsal/lateral side). While I do supinate, I avoid any shoe that has firm 'lateral walls' or any rigid 'guidance system' which could trigger issues with the anchor points for the peroneal tendon (brevis) on that metatarsal. So, short list: 1st thing I look for when picking a shoe: Shoes that are available in a US Mens size 14. Shockingly enough, not all manufactures offer that size. Example: Asics Superblast 1 and 2. 2nd thing(s): Shoes with enough cushion yet provide some stability without being restrictive would be the Saucony Guide 17, the Nike Invincible 3, and the New Balance 1080v14 (wide). The Brooks Glycerine Max would make the list but they have their chevron/logo that actually made that shoe unwearable for me, as it caused issues on the lateral side of the foot for me (I tried that shoe 3 different times and just couldn't get it to work for me). The Nike Zegama 2 is an interesting shoe. If they made that one in a wide, it might be the Goldilocks shoe for me. There is a bit of a sidewall on the shoe that's a somewhat of an irritant, but the rest of that shoe is absolutely stellar for me. 3rd thing: Outsole with traction and durability for someone my size and use-case. I've probably purchased 50+ pairs of shoes since June 2021 on a healthcare journey following a stroke. So, when I'm asked what are the big things I look for when picking a shoe, that's a loaded but fun question to answer. (apologies for the wall of text)

1. Fit. If I can't get good midfoot lockdown and ample toe room simultaneously, automatic rejection. 2. Combination of compliance and resilience. Not too rigid, not too soft, not too bouncy, not too squishy. 3. Cushioning under the forefoot and especially the toe. Automatically rules out most Nike shoes I've tried. 4. Footbed contour. Don't like feeling excessive pressure under the arch. 5. Neutral support. 6. Outsole grip.

React x de Nike infinity run 4 se acerca a lo que dices.

Heel Lockdown, Ease of getting a balanced lace lock, lack of "binding" at the end of the lace run over the toe joint, gusseted and lightly padded tongue with something to keep it centered, adequate forefoot cushioning, breathability & durable outsole. Have you guys ever thought about an episode on supershoes for different running paces? i.e. 4-5/Min/mile, 5-6 min/mile, 6-7 min/mile, 7-8 min, mile, 8-9 min/mile, etc race pace (or whatever time breakdown makes sense) I think this is one of the bigger challanges for most runners especially mid-pack runners.

I appreciate and thank you for the great education of the evolving shoe industry and product diversity.. I love and now only use the carbon plated science for walking and running! Curious about your views on orthotic usage since 80% of repeat marathoners use them and they definitely change the fit and function of most shoes. I started treating Ironman triathletes Scott Tinley, Mark Allen, Scott Molina, John Howard et al in early '80s and realized another major imbalance we all have is that our legs are not the same length. The most important thing I tell my patients sometimes is what side of the road to run on. I have taken 8000+ leg length X-rays (avg difference is 6mms) and subsequently have made orthotics to correct this deformity. Orthotics are the definitely the best thing I have done for my patients over the last 45 years! Love to get your insight.

TOTALLY with Nathan on being a HUGE fan of the Topo Magnifly!!!

New Balance just needs to release a shoe with 60 millimeters of stack and call it the Most. Tagline: "We dare you to add more stack than this."

@Scott25368 Ай бұрын

Heel comfort, wide enough midfoot, good toebox so the inside of big toe isn't rubbing on the toebox, soft enough foam without sinking in, Inherit support.

With David on the Cyclone 2 love. It has that quality that Nathan described: your foot just slides in and is perfectly in place with no effort. The shoe hugs your feet, gently, and with good lockdown. BITR Robbe wrote that it feels like a slipper. Like Nathan, I hate the Boston 12. For me, it has the opposite quality of the Cyclone 2. I have to wrestle my feet into it, fiddle with the laces, and even then, the shoe is horribly uncomfortable, pressing on my feet in all the wrong ways.

@@adamfeerst2575 Glad to hear it, especially because I am taking delivery of the Sinister in a matter of hours! Can you comment on how it compares to any other low stack non-plated PEBA shoes? Cyclone 2, Cielo Road, etc.
