Mizuno Neo Vista vs Saucony Endorphin Speed 4: Two runners pick their preferred super-trainer

[@oeemm]

Interesting shoes comparison, nicely done! can't wait for both of them against the Superblast 2

[@cbrunet]

I have both of these shoes and you guys nailed it. I get excited every time I get to wear my Neo Vista’s for a run because they are so comfortable and bouncy and they are just a joy to run in. But when I need to go fast, I feel like the speed 4 makes the pace more manageable. If I had to pick only one, that would be a really tough choice!

[@MrClouddddy]

Great as always, waiting for Speed 4 vs Magic Speed 4!

My Magic Speed 4s arrive today 😊

I love my Neo Vista's. Recently ran a marathon in them (Sydney). I was on the fence between them and my usual go to of NB SC Elite v.4, but since it was a very hilly course I decided to go for comfort and bounce. Absolutely no regrets. Wearing them again next week at Berlin.

Thank you for your comment, I am planning to wear Neo Vista for my first marathon and your comment is reassuring.

[@maracas23]

can you guys pls review with a POV for wide feet for these reviews as it's so hard to find the right fit (2E width are rare apart from New Balance really)

[@oneschance]

I have one of these and tried on the other with treadmill. These two shoes are not comparable in my experience. The Neo vista is Hellafun.

[@jackatmensacosacoaching]

I have both - Neo Vista for my easy comfortable longer runs (or just running to the shop - a few miles), the faster training runs (and Park Run) in the Saucony. Works well, I think they both have their purpose. Both not HM or full M race day shoes - so certainly not Metaspeed territory.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Great insights on the two shoes, gentlemen. I tried the Neo Vista at my local running shop and came a hair shy of buying it. Now with your additional insights, I may reconsider. ;)

I hope Mizuno releases their running shoe line in the Philippines soon.

[@LiamMendoza-vr1di]

Neo vista clears best shoe in my collection broken many PRs I have endorphin pro 4 and the mizuno cushion is way more responsive

[@Aron-t6m]

Same for me

[@LiamMendoza-vr1di]

@@Aron-t6m yeh and it’s durable af only problem is it gets dirty easily but imo that’s character

[@PatrickStar_24]

No way is it better for races than the Pro 4. I don't believe you

[@LiamMendoza-vr1di]

@@PatrickStar_24 I’ve put 130km in the sauconys and don’t think I could run longer than a 10k in them the foam has died my mizunos I’ve ran 4 half marathons in them and 5 max effort 5k park runs and the cushion still very responsive

[@PatrickStar_24]

@@LiamMendoza-vr1di Maybe the foam died because it's a race shoe? LMAO!

[@idawson998]

Love my neo vistas

[@fadfanclub8306]

I just bought the Neo Vista - thanks to you guys for the recomms - and the first thing I noticed was the rubbing of the lace that is on the inside of the the shoe where the plastic light blue pill shaped thing is. Did that rub when running for you guys? Feels like it would but haven’t taken them for a run as won’t be able to return!

[@geoffb2900]

Thanks for this informative comparison. How does the Superblast 2 compare with the Neo Vista between 8:00 HM, 8:30 marathon, and 9:00-10:00 min/mi easy/long run paces?

[@mfu424]

Nice comparison! Which one would you choose for as a maratho race shoe for a 3h marathon runner who prefers a more stable shoe?

[@grantmckay7014]

Only one is a legal race shoe, so easy pick... cue "but only elites need to follow rules"... 😂

[@paulchin345]

Mizuno neo vista vs NB rebel v4 for long easy runs?!

[@Aron-t6m]

Neo Vista

[@RunTommy123]

Saucony is taking their Speed in the same wrong direction (for me) as Asics is doing with their Magic Speed. Both are bigger, heavier, and not as fast. Shedding a tear on the new Asics Magic Speed specs. It's like if Mizuno took the Flash and turned it into a Super Trainer.

Speed 4 vs Superblast V2

[@Marsbar2024]

Would be great if you didn't have two reviewers with narrow feet as the "fit section" becomes a bit pointless and difficult to decide if its worth going for a shoe.

[@LiamMendoza-vr1di]

Endorphin speed 4 too slim toe box

[@maggie0285]

I had the same problem. Even just looking at the shoe I can tell it's too small. Even the shoe laces seem too short. Endorphin pro 4 though I love

[@minusinfinity6974]

I know looks don't matter, but the Mizuno is truly ugly.

[@pedrofilho6818]

Very

[@HendyHariadi-r9z]

Which shoes looks good for you?

[@summers7775]

i agree, i already have enough shoes for rotation atm, i’ll only be tempted if they release a better colour way on the neo vista because this ones looks terrible 😢😅

[@macewindex564]

@@HendyHariadi-r9z I quite like it. nice and simple retro look
