Grabbed a pair of the new Brooks Adrenaline gts 21 today. Cant wait to take em for a spin.

Damn, is it already time for the new version?

Appreciate it. Just ordered the Pegasus Turbo 2. My Boston’s are shot, so hopefully a good replacement.

I need to go try on those Sauconys. Very used to a more tempo shoe - wondering if all the cushion is too much.

If anyone is looking for N%, Alphas, etc. check out Heartbreak Hill Running Co.’s website. It’s a local outfit on the S Side of Chicago that I went to when I was in town. Cool little shop. It’s where I ordered my N% when no one else had them. I see they have some fresh Mango color designs in all the plated Nike racing/training shoes.

Found them on Jack Rabbit as well. I have a $30 coupon that I'm thinking of putting towards a pair of Watermelon.

Mango vaporfly next% are $187 on eastbay right now when applying their 25% off coupon. All sizes in stock.

I have some Adidas Boston 8s that I like a lot, especially on long runs. But they are very narrow and hard to lace comfortably so will get something different next. Those of you who like the Bostons, what other similar shoes do you also like?

Walking 5-6 miles a day, recently upgraded from Brooks Ghost 12 to the 13’s, with Powerstep pulse inserts. Have somewhat lower arches. Love the feel of the Ghosts but the forefoot on the outside (pinky through middle toes) wore down really quickly on the 12’s and is wearing out super quick on the 13’s. The rest of the shoe shows little to no signs of wear. Any suggestions for a similar feeling shoe that is more durable for around the same price?

Asics Gel Nimbus Lite 2 is in a similar category as well. Getting good reviews, might be my next daily.

Actually just read a review of the Boston 9s that says they have more room than the 8s did, so may give the 9s a try. But will check out Saucony Ride and Asics Nimbus too. I usually alternate between Saucony and Aiscs anyway.
