thank you for the nice review. i use both the shoes and i find the takumi fun and fast, but not with tired legs, in that case i prefer the adios pro2 more comfortable, but also for marathon pace long run much more appropriate. i tried both shoes half size down and i think i like it, the adios pro2 after 100k it opened up a bit and my feet had a bit too much room to have a perfect lock down. Anyway both shoes are really amazing, we are really lucky so many fun and fast shoes are coming out. i feel i don't even get close to their limit, at my max pace the shoes are just laughing at me :)

I initially hated the Takumi Sen, but as I wore it in and persisted with it, I now love it! Ran a pb in 5km and 10km. I do find it pretty unstable in some road races where there are some technical windy sections. I do find 10km is a bit of a stretch for this shoe. But brilliant on gun barrel straight runs.

Great review and comparison. I’m definitely preferring the AAPro2 over the VaporflyN%2 for longer distance stuff (10miles and above). Much more stable and comfortable, whilst still fast. Not sure I NEED the TS8, but still want to try it!

Nice. Interested in the Pro 2. I got Boston 10s for a daily trainer and kind of impressed.

Feel like I'm hanging over the side of the takumi sen, is the Pro wider or much the same ..... feels an amazing shoe otherwise

Thanks for this great video. So useful as usual. I used to run my half marathons with the Adios Pro 1 but for the next one I really hesitate between these ones and the Takumi Sen 8 that I am running currently for my track sessions. I run usually half marathon in 1h25min, what would be your recommendation? Adios Pro 1 or Takumi Sen 8?

Thanks. I (Nick) would be pretty much equally happy in any of those three for an all-out 5K. Maybe just prefer the Vaporfly, just because all the other runners with you will be in it!

Enjoyed the video. Running first marathon in a few months.. would you go endorphin pro 2 or adiós pro 2 (Nike big dogs a bit expensive for me) Or anything else around that kind of max £180... any advice appreciated

Personally I (Nick) would use the Adios Pro 2 of those, I find it more comfortable for the long distance events, and just as fast

Thank you for the review and great/helpful comparison! I appreciate the stack height is not everything and you mentioned that TS8 is not ideal for Marathon, but TS8 has pretty much same/similar stack heights to Endorphins and Metaspeed Sky, how does TS8 stack up to them?

Good Q! I (Nick) think the Metaspeed Sky has a better foam for the marathon, bit bouncier and I’ve loved going long in that shoe. The Sky is a great, versatile racer all round. The Takumi I think I prefer to the Endorphin Pro as a slightly punchier ride. Endorphin Pro maybe bit harsh for a marathon too, Speed maybe better in fact for me

Thanks for the review Guys. Currently running 5K to 10K in the Adidas Adizero Pro's but finding them a little flat towards the end of a 10K. This is probably more to do with my old legs but wondered if the Takumi Sen 8's would be a better option?

So the Adizero Pro is one shoe I’ve (Nick) not been able to test, so can’t be much help! Hopefully someone who has used both can comment!

I’m looking for a 5k/10k racing shoe and deciding between Takumi Sen 8 and Vaporfly, any suggestions? I like that the Takumi is a bit less bulky, I’m used to soccer cleats so I don’t need much shoe, but the vaporfly is tried and true. Do you have an opinion over which would be a better racer? Thanks

If I already have the Pro 1 in good condition, should I go for the Pro 2 or the Sen 8? I'm thinking Sen 8 as I don't have many speed day or shorter distance race shoes

Both great and fast shoes, but are way too narrow through the entire foot. I had blisters everywhere after one short tempo run to test them.
