Last weekend i completed my first 70.3 - I've run Half Marathons before in my Metaspeed Tokyo and used them for the run portion of this race. I wasnt happy with my performance and thought my feet were extremely sore towards the end of the run,

When i was looking at other participiants I didnt see anyone else in the same shoes as me and most looked less race specific shoes. It made me think about what shoes people use? and if there is a difference between running a straight HM in race shoes, vs using them in a run portion of a Tri?

I've been running for about 18 months now.

My original shoe was your typical running store shoe: Asics Gel Kayano 31' - stability shoe. Served me well but when it was time for replacement i moved over to a trail shoe for winter.

Currently I have available:

Evo SL (around 200km on them)

Pegasus Trail (winter running shoe)

Metaspeeds Tokyo - (race shoe)

I cannot get on with the Evo Sl's ive put different insoles into them as it felt like stability was a massive issue with them, but even now, my feet feel completely battered when i take them off. They were good for speed but anythhing over 12km i start to feel it up my achilles.

What would you recommend as a replacement? I've ended up going down a rabbit hole of reearching superblasts and all sorts but i cannot find one that sticks.
