Nike Air Zoom Vomero 2

Posted: 18/02/08

'THE COMPLETE SHOE - A ROLLS ROYCE'

Strengths:
The Vomero 2 has great cushioning, some may feel too springy. A very good fit with comfort at the top of the list.

Weaknesses:
No great friction on wet trail / grass surfaces.

Overall:
A very good fitting shoe that does more that what is says on the tin. Price not too bad and certainly worth the money for a great shoe for the Neutral runner.

Saucony Progrid Triumph 4

Posted: 23/08/07

'FAN RUNNING TASTIC.......'

Strengths:
The cushing is great all round, plus the arch lace lock really keeps the foot in place to prevent blisters.

Weaknesses:
Just a bit on the bright side......

Overall:
An excellent running shoe, that offers the runner good road grip when doing the long miles or the short intervals.

The arch lace lock, helps prevent the foot from additional movement aiding comfort and stopping blisters occouring.

Nike Air Max Moto 4

Posted: 01/03/07

'GREAT CUSHIONING AND A COMFORTABLE FIT FOR HIGH MILAGE RUNS.'

Strengths:
Good soft fit, with plenty of cushioning

Weaknesses:
Outside of sole seems to wear down quite quickly (maybe more my running style)

Overall:
The springyness of the cushioning is great for me as a heavier runner, combine that with the fit, then there is no shoe better.

Mizuno Wave Harrier

Posted: 02/12/06

'VERY LIGHT, WENT ON LIKE A SLIPPER'

Strengths:
Excellent tread and grip, very light for a trail shoe and fits great for the wider foot like me.

Weaknesses:
Not much support round the sides - but then I wear an ankle support anyway....

Overall:
Excellent buy, very happy that was put on to this by the shop, as other stocks were low or too narrow.

'LOOKS TO BE A WISE INVESTMENT'

Strengths:
The schedules seem to be set out well, along with good explanations

Weaknesses:
Doesnt seem to feature too much speed work....

Overall:
It will put to the test for my next marathon, so cant really judge until then, but seems to be a good tool and a wise investment if you plan to run several marathons.
