Hi all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a recommendation for a do it all shoe.

I'll be travelling to NY for the Marathon in November with the family. With limited space I am looking for one shoe that I can wear all day and walk (I assume it will be 20000+ steps per day), do a few shake out runs and then run the marathon in.

I did Sydney Marathon last year in 3:46 so I assume I will be doing NY in sub 4.

Would the Nike Vomero 18 be fit for purpose? If not, what would you recommend?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Unfortunately someone has stolen my recovery/slow run shoes off my front porch. They were the Puma magnify nitro 2.

I'm currently in my marathon training block and doing 50-60kms p week and need something plush that will protect my feet.

I'm looking for recommendation for a Chinese shoe to take over the magnify nitro 2. The more cost effective the better. I would probably only want to spend $100AUD/$75USD.

My recovery runs are around 6:10-6:30km p min, I'm 70kg.

My current rotation is as follows:

Puma Velocity Nitro 3 for daily miles (I find them too firm for recovery runs).

Adidas Evo SL for Tempo and faster pace efforts. I'm using these as my recovery run shoes due to the foam but finding it hard to run "slow" in them.

Superblast 2 & Megablast for my long runs. I find the SB2 too firm for recovery and megablast too bouncy...I'm finding it hard to run "slow" and keep my cadence high.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
