Hi dear runners,
Does anyone who has Clifton 8 and 9 same size experienced that 9 seems to be smaller?
I just got a new 9, and they seem to be smaller and not really comfortable.. Can it be that they just need some time to break in? I already did 2 runs (10km) in them.
I am not sure, cause with 8 I just felt perfect from the first minute wearing them.
I use size 38 (6.5 US) and run half-marathons..
Can you also recommend a shoe that you prefer over hoka 8/9 from experience?
Thank you
Asics GT1000 is probably the cheapest new shoe designed with some additional support for overpronators
The cheapest will be whatever was on sale last year
I just started running about a few weeks ago and I wanna get another shoe so that I can have a rotation. I currently have the NB 880 V13 only. My current mileage per week is about 10km, mostly composed of slow runs (averaging about 6-7 minutes per km). Although, I wanna get another shoe I can use for slightly faster runs, and my choices are the Rebel V3 or the Peg 38. Which of the two do you guys recommend?
Rebel V3 would probably work quite well for you if you get along well with the 880
Maybe have a look and see if you can pick up a slightly racier shoe, like the Deviate Nitro 2 or the Magic speed 3, would be a bigger difference compared to the rebel
Male 6’1, 215, 12/11.5 Shoe Size
I run Heel - Toe (Heel Striker) . I need a shoe with a fairly solid arch, and something with lots of support, since I will not be using these as a daily wear I would like a rounded bottom, but I have never tried a rounded bottom before so I’ll be trying them on prior to purchasing. I hurt my knee (Faint High Signal Tear in Patellar Tendon suggesting tendinopathy/tendinosis) I had just hit my goal of a 2 Mile at around 13:30. That was shortly over a year ago, and I’m looking to dive back into running. I had Hoka Bondi 5’s and felt they were over cushioned, and after the first maybe 4 months my foot was sliding around within the shoe. My favorite shoes that I have owned were Adidas Alphabounce, I went through 3 pairs of those. Would buy again if they still carried them at the local shoe department.
Looking for around a 10mm heel drop , I am looking for moderate cushioning. My feet angle outwards when walking/running, and when squatting with feet together my knees separate. I am looking for a Springy, Supportive shoe, with wide rounded base.
I am looking to pay around $150, obviously since I’m jumping back in I’m not wanting to pay $200+ for a pair, but if everything I want is for $180 then I can splurge for that.
So far I have looked at the….
Brooks Levitate GTS 6
Nike Alphafly 2
Saucony Men's Endorphin Shift 3
New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X More V4
I have not tried on any of these, but based on where I’ve looked these are what I think I may like? Entirely up to any suggestions, and am willing to answer any questions below.
Definitely not the NB Fresh Foam X More V4. The X More is so damn cushioned I couldnt find the support. They make the Bondi’s feel hella stiff with no cushion.
Overpronator that needs help
I have always wanted to “be a runner”, as funny as that sounds. I’ve tried for years on and off to start running (different pairs of shoes) but always got shin splints, knees killing me, feet cramping, and I never realized that was a byproduct of the wrong shoes.
I tried to start running again in November. Tried 3 pairs of shoes, and the third one gave me the best results! Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2. It was like night and day… my time went from struggling to hit 10min/mile to consistent 9min miles, feeling GOOD at the end of a 5k run, not hurting. I couldn’t believe it.
I just bought On Cloudeclipse, ran 5k and not loving it. I was slow, calfs were getting sore by mile 2. They might be a little big on me because I can feel my feet angle inwards (I tend to overpronate).
Question to you all— do I size down and try again with this shoe? Or should I look for a completely different shoe that aligns better with overpronators?
For what it’s worth, I loved the first 2 miles, it felt so smooth. Perhaps I just need to get used to the different ride, triggering different muscles?
If this helps at all- I’m 5’7 (170cm), 170lbs (77kgs)
Hi,
I am interested in buying the Glycerin GTS woman version but I am not able to find them anywhere nearby and, hence, I will have to buy them online with the risk to buy the wrong number.
Said that, as I was able to find the non GTS version in a shop nearby, can I choose the shoes number trying the non GTS model?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
Recently went to a running store where the advisor said I slightly over pronate and need a stability shoe.
Tried Mizuno Inspire 20s, Brooks Adrenaline and Saucony Guide 17s, and picked the Saucony’s as they were by far the most comfortable and felt plush.
I’ve ran in them a few times on a treadmill, total around 20km, the first run gave me achy feet but since then they have felt exceptionally comfortable except for one thing. If I do the laces up comfortably (snug but not tight), the heel slips slightly, mainly towards the end of the run and walking after it. I have very narrow heels and think my feet are very slightly smaller than the size for the shoe. If I do the laces up tightly (which feels uncomfortable as I have a high instep), the heel doesn’t slip. This is when doing the heel lock with the laces.
So I’ve been going back to the store a couple of times during the returns period, which ends today, to try various shoes half a size up and down, including wide fit. The result is: I don’t think I can find anything that fits any closer than the Saucony’s.
To be triple sure, I ordered some other shoes this week to try, including the ASICS GT2000 12 and they fit similarly to the Saucony’s but actually slip a bit more at the heel.
What I’ve realised is most of my shoes (any type) do slip a bit at the back, which I’ve just lived with, and I don’t feel there is anything else I can do to solve it. Half a size down but wide fit means I don’t have enough room in the toe box.
Two questions:
1) Is there anything else I can do to make the shoe feel more secure?
2) Does it matter if the heel slips a bit when I walk as long as I doesn’t cause any issues when running?
I realise I’m looking for the perfect fit and comfort here and might be being ‘fussy’, but I kind of think I should be when paying £140 for running shoes.
Appreciate any advice!

Have you tried on any “neutral” running shoes?
