So many good things in this video. Great to see Beast make an appearance. Most importantly - such a good call Ed on holding off on a fast review to make sure you are providing an accurate review, and for that, I thank you good Sir. Reviews where someone runs a handful of k's (let's say 30k total) and reviews the shoe right out of the box (and really that's the scope of the review) does no shoe any justice and indeed perpetuates the idea that "it has to be perfect out of the box or it's going back" school of thinking. Danger is, shoe manufacturers become a slave to this and we get shoes that are great out of the box, but as a predictable consequence, don't last or fall out of form really quickly. Plenty of examples of those over the last year. Righto, stepping off my soapbox now.

If there are plenty of examples can you supply us with one? I've never owned a pair of vaporflys or alphaflys, but I generally find modern shoes to be amazingly durable. I've put over 500 km on two different pairs of Speed 3's and they still feel great. I also have a pair of invincible 3's with well over 800km on them and feel really nice still too. I'm a very slight person so maybe I don't put much strain on my shoes, I don't know.

Saucony shoes seldom work for me but I accidentally discovered the endorphin shift V2 in the pile of Sauconys that I buy for the insoles..I needed a low drop training shoe and didn't have a shoe to leave at the lake..surprise, the shift worked great and doesn't go flat after 10mi..it immediately made it into my marathon rotation..the hardest shoe to find for me is a long run shoe that doesn't go flat after a few miles..a plus is no plate bite when it gets hot and the miles go up..alphafly are pretty much worn smooth after 100mi so I may give the shift a go at 1/2 marathon race this fall..shows no outsole wear after 1st 40mi..

Completely off topic but I know how you like the Vomero 16 with the exception of the lacing system. I’ve discovered there is a cheat code of sorts if you prefer a regular lacing system. Under the 3 barrel loops in the middle, are holes (albeit very tight) on the back side that I think are punched for regular lacing. It is a bit difficult to maneuver but once I got the laces through it makes getting a good lockdown so much easier. Before the switch I would try to cinch them only to have them loosen again before tying them. A game changer for me as I hated that lacing system.

Reason I discovered it was because I was swapping the laces out with the Puma Forever Run Nitro. The laces on both of those shoes are very similar (as are the shoes as well). Was only doing it for a color swap since the Vomero is a pretty bland shoe in the looks department. Now I have a fresher look and a better lockdown 😊.

Maybe next year they replace the PWRRUN with PWRRUN+. A PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN+ combo might make for a lighter, more responsive high stack trainer to compete with the Asics Superblast/ New Balance SC Trainer if that is the target market they want to go after and it would still differentiate the shoe from the Triumph line which is all PWRRUN+. And they could even increase the stack height due to the lighter PWRRUN+ foam. But seriously, I think there are almost too many choices and a lot of these shoes are just overkill with clever marketing trying to convince everyone they need this for a specific purpose. I'm quite content with my Speed 3s.

Can Pwrrn+ be easily rubberized? I think the Pwrrn got used partially for stability and partially so there's *some* resemblance to the Kinvara. I'd guess any weight-savings from swapping out the foam would be lost by the time you add a layer of rubber, but it feels bizarre to not have a rubber layer on what looks like a possible long run shoe, and given the price. Definitely, though, I think that Pwrrn+ and PB would be a much softer, nicer tandem! But perhaps best yet to just have both the Speed and Triumph in rotation. 😉

Yeah it's not perfect, there's other shoes with more stability thru corners, but that doesn't mean I'm going to bin it and never use it. Used sparingly in a rotation, it's alright. The Saucony Kinvara Pro might be a shoe to consider getting in the future. That outsole tho...looks like its made of foam... if that was the case why the hell would u want it lol 😂

I don't know why Saucony isn't being clear on this shoe. It seems clearly a "super" daily trainer for those needing more stability. They should call it a stable super daily trainer. I think that is why there is a lot of Powerun in the midsole, it's firmer and more stable, but enough cushioning for the heavier runners. I love that you noticed these traits and recommended as such for runners.

Since there is a hope that someone from Saucony reads this comment Saucony states that they gladly accept returns of UNWORN merchandise within 30 days. This policy raises a valid concern. If you're uncertain about the shoes how can you decide if it is right for you? Change the policy to allow the customers to return WORN shoes for 30 days, if we don't like it then allow the customer to send them back. If this was their policy I would gladly try them without the worry of potential regrets and ending up with another pair of low-performing shoes in my running closet. It's understandable to hesitate when shoes average around 200 Earth credits and you're not certain the shoe is right for you. They will be a pass for me, but please do a 100-mile review.
