Hey!
So I have a pretty sizable Satisfy collection, and have not had many issues with quality.

The only actual RMA I had, was on my Rippy Cordura 5” shorts. Communication was fine, and I was offered a replacement. It did take quite a while to process and send the new ones, and when they did arrive they sent the wrong shorts, but that is an honest mistake. Finally I got the new pair.

Unfortunately my new pair now also show quality issues, so I have contacted Satisfy to RMA again. Surprisingly I received this reply:
“Unfortunately we have a one-swap policy when it comes to replacement for defective gear; therefore I will not be able to offer a replacement or a refund, I'm sorry.”
I replied asking for an explanation of this, and challenged it very politely, but they haven’t replied.

I am honestly very surprised by this. A replaced product, of course, comes with the same EU consumer rights as the original item. For high end, expensive products like this, I expect the company to stand fully behind their quality. So now I have sadly kind of lost trust in what was my favorite brand, and have limited desire to add to my collection.

Has anyone else experienced this, and know what this one-swap policy is all about?

I really love how these look and feel, but I just have one major issue. Because the side pockets are only sewed at the “lip” of the pocket, anything heavy in the pockets does not work, as it will swing back and forth hard and at the same time make the shorts creep up. The back pocket is also unfortunately very small, so it cannot hold a regular size phone.
So whenever I use my PeaceShell, I am frustrated that I don’t know where to put my phone(iPhone 17). I usually try to put it in the side pocket and after a while it doesn’t work, then I try to turn it sideways so it stops swinging so much, but it quickly turns and starts swinging again. I then usually try and jam it in the rear pocket without luck and end up running with the phone in my hand. Sometimes I put tight under with hip pockets to carry my phone, buts it’s too warm in summer and doesn’t look good.

So I am wondering, where are people running in the PeaceShell putting their phone? Hope for some good suggestions! Actually considering trying to sew something in to hold the phone 😅

Hey everyone!

Looking for a new pair of raceday shoes for marathon that will fit me very specific needs. My midfoot is unusually wide, causing my foot to sort of fall off the sole, like a muffintop. Other than that I am 38 years old, 187 cm, 95 kg, size 45. I have been running since July last year, and aim for a 3:30 finish this October.

I have tried and tested a lot of shoes already, and few fit me well. My favorite shoes currently are: Superblast 3, Dynafish Xiaonian, Vomero Premium, RAD UFO and Glycerin Max.

The worst fitting(most narrow) shoes I have ever tried, that hurt already on the instep are the Megablast, Evo SL and Cielo X1 2.0 and 3.0.

I tested the SC Elite v5, but they narrowed that down extremely compared to the v4. Also wide(2E) sizing is useless, as the entire bottom of the shoe is identical to D width - making them literally the same width. All the wide versions do are add a bit of upper material, which allows even more muffintopping for an even worse fit. So generally I consider it marketing bullshit and steer clear of “wide” sizes.

I have the Feidian 6 Elite, but they seem to narrow to work for much more than 5k for me.
I also have the Endorphin Elite 2, which are my current pick. Although I am honestly not very confident in how well they will fare when my form degrades later in a marathon. Also they don’t feel as fast/aggressive as I would like. More like a really really good long run shoe for somewhere between easy and marathon pace.

I have been considering to try the Prime X 3 Strung, Rocket X 3, MetaSpeed Edge Tokyo and Deviate Nitro Elite 4. I just don’t really feel confident any of them would work well.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey everyone!

I am wondering if there is any apps out there, that can help support self-coaching. I don’t like Runna etc, as they plan down to the session. I want to do what I want to do on any given day, not follow a recipe.

So I imagine that I could input my A and B races with goals. Then the app should take care of periodization(according to recognized experts/systems), and tell me what mileage I need to hit, minimum length long run and some rough measure of what quality session(s) I should hit.

I then imagine the app would import my sessions from Strava and give me feedback on each session. It should also keep track on where I am with my sessions vs goals, and how my race time predictions are looking vs goal etc.

Does anything like this exist?
