[@mcm4point2o]

awesome upload man!! this is gonna be a great series w/ you and Steve!

[@Run4Adventure]

Glad you enjoyed the video and you're right there should be some good content with Steve, especially watching him suffer while running on the road 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏

[@paulmulks]

This is one of the best KZbin channels that I've thankfully stumbled across 👌🏻🤣 Always great reviews with some added comedy, can't beat it 👍🏻

[@Run4Adventure]

That's very kind Paul and it's super appreciated! 🙏 Really glad you're enjoying the Content on the channel and thanks for the support 👍😊

[@nicolashelios8556]

I just bought the Scott Speed RC! 🎉🥳🤗👍

[@BanjoStu]

Great to see The Pirate back on the channel, he should smash a 3 hour marathon. Also great to see yet more competition in the carbon plate game. Not tried the Scotts, but if nothing else, they look (and apparently smell) good. Good to see my favourites, the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite, getting bronze in the women's Olympic marathon on the feet of the great Molly Seidel, in only her 3rd ever marathon 🤯

[@Run4Adventure]

He's always good value Stuart! 😂 More content featuring Steve on the channel soon. The Carbon plate market is so competitive now, so many shoes to choose from! Glad you're still enjoying your Pumas, I'm loving the Rebel V2's at the moment. Thanks for watching and supporting as always its really appreciated 🙏

[@martinnoyer1774]

Have got the pursuit now about 2 runs.fits perfect for my wider feet and is nimble, snappy, breathable and lightweight. Loving it for now...will test onwards.

[@Run4Adventure]

That's great to hear Martin, glad you're enjoying your shoes 👍 Let me know how it goes as you put more miles into the shoe 😊

[@martinnoyer1774]

@@Run4Adventure short Update after 30k. I have done 17k longrun (6:30 pace) and some temporun (up to 4:30) in them. They feel great, like them! Smooth transition, lots of cushion but denser/rebounding. Good midfoot lockdown, very stabil offset. Only low ankles could get Problem with the high heel collar. Outsole could wear out more quickly.

[@Run4Adventure]

@@martinnoyer1774 Thanks for the update it's really appreciated and I'm glad you're getting on with the Scott shoe. 👍

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

@@martinnoyer1774 that's great, I've just got a pair of the pursuit and speed carbon at silly prices. Not had a chance to really try them out but see them as a hoka equivalent (Clifton and Rocket X). I'm hoping the rocker will help with pushing out the extra miles on the longer runs as I build up the miles.

[@jasontully4253]

Great video - training for Manchester as well - aiming for a sub 3hr 30 pb - good luck with the training

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Jason, really glad you enjoyed the video. Hope training is going well for the marathon and if you see me up there give me a shout! Thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@i.p2088]

Good review. Did you get the chance to try the New Balance RC V2?

[@Run4Adventure]

No I haven't run in the NB RC 2's yet. To many shoes and not enough time! With so many new shoe constantly coming out it's hard to keep up with them all and it ends up costing a small fortune 😊 Thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏

[@vgnrnr]

I feel like the weight is going to hold it back from really being competitive against the vaporflys etc. My vaporflys in uk size 11 are 218g. Definitely something that'll get noticed later on during the runs

[@Run4Adventure]

I kind of agree Joseph. To be fair to the shoe it doesn't run heavy but I could feel the difference when I went back to my Vaporflys 🤔 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@adamglueckski8064]

I wouldn’t say it’s a vaporfly competitor, too heavy and not enough rebound, however, lovely stability and feels much better at a variety of paces due to the variable flex of the carbitex DFX plate

[@Jj88Im]

I bought them for € 60 for triathlon sprint and Olympic .. do you think they are bad shoes? Weight 65kg 177cm

[@Run4Adventure]

For a carbon plated performance shoe, they were pretty bad! Way to heavy, slippage in the heel and lacking cushioning 😕

[@SaschaRobitzki]

I think it's excellent, one of my favorites from 2021.

[@paulmillar6919]

Nice video. Never branched into world of the carbon plated shoes so far, maybe something to consider in the future......when I have more races booked in 🤔

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Paul 😊 Yeap definitely worth thinking about if you do race. Obviously carbon plated shoes are super hyped but I think it does make a difference, especially over the longer distances. Thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@onewech6848]

Great video, any suggestions for a good shoes to run on treadmill and outdoor??? Keep the great work.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the review. Obviously you'd want to go for a road running shoe 👍 The best advice I can give is if you can go to a running specialists store and try a lot of shoes on. Running shoes are so personal, every shoe sizes up differently and everyone's footshape is different. Trying lots of different brands and models on gives you a much better idea of what will work for you 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

[@tonypotter9578]

Hi Loyd. Way back this but I’ve got the opportunity today (2024) to gat my hands on a pair of these for £20 new. Would you say it’s worth it as a training carbon shoe? I usually run in the saucony speeds and pro carbon range and wonder if there’s much difference in the fit not necessarily the performance? Thanks

[@Run4Adventure]

To be honest Tony, they’re not great! I personally wouldn’t even pay £20 for them, it’s way to heavy and to firm 😕

[@tonypotter9578]

Thanks Loyd, in that case I’ll pass on them! 👍

[@Ecoroof1986]

3rd 😀 and a great review. I watched a vid the other day with Steve in. Good luck with the Manchester marathon

[@Run4Adventure]

Really glad you enjoyed the video, Steve's always good value 😂 Thanks for watching and for the luck with Manchester, I think we need it 🤞

[@fabsterun]

Oh it's still so fresh the HD hasn't Set in yet .. I'll watch it soon

[@Run4Adventure]

Wow that is quick Fabian!! 😊

[@RCMTR5]

Great vid! Very funny 😆

[@Run4Adventure]

Really glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊

[@colinp5248]

See these on offer note for 49.99 pounds, good deal at that?

[@Run4Adventure]

I really wasn’t impressed with them, to heavy, to firm and a lot of heel slippage! It’s the worst carbon plated road shoe I’ve run in 😕

[@colinp5248]

Thanks for that ibwas close to getting them. Not really worth the price even at that.. wow.. rhanks man.. ​@Run4Adventure

[@r.cordis8251]

After this first impressions review, any update? Today has a black friday promo and you can buy for £50 do you think it is a good option? Thanks

[@Run4Adventure]

I personally think there's much better carbon plated road shoes out there. The Scott shoe is way to heavy and I had issues with heal slippage. The fact they're selling a £210 pair of shoes for £50 kind of says everything 🤔 Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏

[@yellowfolder]

@@Run4Adventure @r.cordis8251 I made the mistake of going for the deal. Terrible shoe and I had to work much, much harder on a threshold run than I would even in my endorphin speeds. Nothing Super about this shoe.

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

​@@yellowfolderI've bought a pair and some Rocket X both seem great so far. I think of them designed for the intermediate runner that is fast than most but nowhere near elite level. Last weekend I did a 24:30 5k in the rockets which is faster than rincon 3s that are super easy to run in. The Scott's I feel are more of an economic long run shoe that will benefit the above average runner more than a great one. And for £50 if you get a year of training runs out of them still feels like a good deal.

[@yellowfolder]

@@BillyBobJoeSnr I tried them for a second run and they were *okay* - I think I was just expecting more as they were supposed to be a super-shoe, but they don't come close to vaporflies for example, and they really are heavy and stiff. But I agree, you can't complain at 50 quid and they'll do as a training shoe... just not speed work.

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

@@yellowfolder I'm planning on using them for long long runs, 20km+ and maybe try them on the odd short course (park run). I think the rocker is for tired legs that need to keep pushing through the extra miles.

[@josephbrady6733]

See you in Manchester!

[@Run4Adventure]

See you there Joseph 👍 Hope training is going well and thanks for watching 🙏

[@gabornyers7091]

Runners knots solved the heel slippage, at least for Me!!

[@Run4Adventure]

I’m really not a fan of the runners knot, when ever I’ve used it the laces have damaged the top of my foot. I personally think if you have to use the runners knot the shoes not fitting your foot shape right. I’m glad you got the heel slippage sorted and thanks for watching 😁

[@tinobat3904]

these or the deviate nitro 2? Or what do you recommend

[@tinobat3904]

(mostly for sprints and short distances)

[@Run4Adventure]

I wouldn’t recommend the Scott shoes, it’s really not that great as a performance shoe! I haven’t run in the Deviate Nitro 2 so I can’t comment on that. Maybe take a look at the Nike Vapourfly Next % 2, you can pick them up cheap in the sales now and it a great shoe. Or maybe the Saucony Endorphin 2 if you can find a pair in the sales 👍

[@tinobat3904]

@@Run4Adventure the endorphin speed 2?

[@Run4Adventure]

@@tinobat3904 Saucony have just bought out the Endorphin 4 but I think the 2’s were a better shoe and you might be able to get them a lot cheaper now 👍

[@johnjames9602]

Steve not even out of breath hahaha

[@Run4Adventure]

I know don't you just hate it! 😂

[@Gekko186]

Nice to see some training sessions in your video. And refreshing with a co-star. Gets a bit more dynamic. 👍🏼

[@Run4Adventure]

Glad you enjoyed the video Anders, Steve's always good value! 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@jankaduraciiik]

hm, doesnt look that heavy...does it actually feel heavier than those other super shoes when running? Im sure Scott can find new customers with this one though, not everyone likes a squishy shoe + that price :)

[@Run4Adventure]

At 266g it's not really a heavy shoe so it runs ok and you don't notice the weight Jana. But when I put my Vaporflys back on afterwards I really noticed the weight difference 🤔 Obviously running shoes are so personal and for me the weight of my road racers is important and I like to keep them as light as possible. I think for the £170 price point it gives runner a slightly more affordable carbon racer option (obviously £170 is still a lot of money!) 😳 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@mzaaqwq123]

Would you recommend for someone who probates?

[@Run4Adventure]

I wouldn't use it if you probates! 😂

[@mzaaqwq123]

Pronate 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

[@mzaaqwq123]

How have they felt after?

[@Run4Adventure]

They still feel pretty good Zubeda. I'd like the heel to feel a bit more locked down but apart from that it's good. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@jaymueller2418]

That’s a sexy shoe.

[@Run4Adventure]

It's a good looking shoe Jay! 😎 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@ΓιωργοςΚελεπουρης-ψ8τ]

For fast long run 20-40km?

[@Run4Adventure]

It would definitely work for that kind ok distance 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏

[@simenandreasknudsen9272]

I just bought the shoes and I got some bad blister in the heels after first run. I hope they will adjust after a while!

[@Run4Adventure]

Sorry to hear that but if it was your first run it might settle down? The heel of the shoe was the only negative for me. I felt it didn't lock my heel down very well 🤔 Hope the shoes bed in OK and thanks for watching 🙏

[@simenandreasknudsen9272]

@@Run4Adventure yeah I agree. I took out the insole to get a bit further down in the shoes. I will experiment with this and locking the shoes down with the tie lock technique. I felt that helped just trying it out. But I’ll wait till my heels are healed again before I go for another run

[@alexandreparadis2776]

smell the shoes... a bit of Edd Bud here :)

[@Run4Adventure]

Edd who??? 🤔 Not coping anyone Alexandre, the shoe just smelt of marzipan so I mentioned it. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@seanviggers2228]

I can guarantee they wouldn't smell of marzipan if my feet where in them 😂 good looking shoe though

[@Run4Adventure]

Very funny! 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching mate 🙏

[@jungtao]

Marzipan… that’s a first!

[@Run4Adventure]

I know.... Wierd! 😁 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@movemorenowjames]

Weird, my son is called Alexander Nielsen … second .

[@Run4Adventure]

Very strange 🤔 Thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed the review 🙏

[@alexandernielsen7040]

First

[@Run4Adventure]

Wow that's quick Alexander! Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for supporting the channel 🙏😊

[@mzaaqwq123]

*pronate Lol

[@Run4Adventure]

The Scott shoe is a neutral, carbon plated performance shoe so it's not going to offer you any extra support for pronation. Most race day shoes will be neutral in construction Zubeda and if you use them just to race in it should be fine. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
