Ugly as hell

I've got two pairs of Nike's and one Brooks in my rotation, quality on all three is good, if you like Ghosts, maybe try the Pegasus 35 Edit: You got me thinking, just checked, my Brooks ans Nike's are made in Vietnam

And it just so happens that Nike and Adidias are by far the biggest sports brands in the world. Like I said above sports personalties are PAID to wear this stuff by Nike and Adidas. They get the stuff for free and dont have to worry about holes in their shoes :) If you think about it those are the two companies really known for their chinese sweat shops where youngsters get paid 10p an hour to stitch their stuff together. The MASSIVE amounts that they produce and ship is unlike any other smaller sports brands. That would make me conclude that smaller brands, while still maybe made in china could have more quality control as the volume is minuscule compared to Adidas or Nike. Puma are probably next and they dont make great stuff either. I just checked my Ghost 10's and they are made in china too. Nothing wrong with that as nearly everything is made in china but I feel like (as all the press etc would indicate) that Nike and Adidias are all about large scale production at the cheapest price possible. That doesnt just include cheap labour but also cheap materials most likely too. If you choose 10 different sports shops and go into them all I bet every single one will stock Nike and Adidas without a doubt. These smaller running shoe brands arent like that. Im not hating on Nike or Adidas im just saying that my shoes fell apart and they were £120. Online at the time it was easy to find lots of complaints, maybe there still are a lot I dont know. I wear Brooks now atm but im not super keen on them now that ive had them a while so I will prob change brands next time again. Just a personal thing :D

The marathon world record holder usually wears Adidas or Nike, if another manufacturer made a better shoe, they would wear that. Its not really fair to make such generalisations. Nike and Adidas make some great shoes, and some pretty poor ones too.

That's a good experience then you've had. Not sure what ones I had but there were £120 and they lasted 3 to 4 months. It started with holes in the toes then the front and side started separating. At that time (maybe around 2 years ago) I googled it and was easy to find many complaints from people about this issue. I've used £80 Asics before and they were on another level in terms of quality. Nike are the same as I've really noticed this now after it happened to me. The toes go first then the glue separates. The Adidas are very very comfy and def more comfy that the Brooks I have now though. Funny enough our 2 local running clubs no one would use these brands though Asics are very popular. Suacony too which I've never tried. Professional athletes are paid to wear brands and get them free.

Thanks, sorry I missed it (embarrassed)

Thanks @myusernamehasgone234 I've added the merchant to the thread title

I bought these when they were on offer at Amazon a few months ago, the advice then was to go up a size. I’m an 11, got a 12 and they were spot on.

Apparently the sizing is the same as the GTX, so make sure you go for half or a full size up.

thanks a lot

They do come up small, I’m usually a 8.5 but went for 9.5. HTH.

They're very narrow in the centre of the foot, which feels weird at first but actually gives loads of support to the arch of the foot. I went for a 9 and I'm usually 8-8.5, they fit well.

its a good outdoor shoe at a great price. The colour schemes aren't great but this is less than half the price of the prettier version.

Sh*t man you need to warn people before you come out with such original and funny content

Good reviews score is in 90’s on independent website I bought some - I seem to get on with ASICS but not so well other brands.

If these are quite new, be careful of the toe box, they changed the shape slightly which meant i needed to go up a size, felt like I was running with flippers on!

Nice one! Got good reviews too on RunRepeat!

Ordered (y)

Agree. This is getting ridiculous with the curling toes. Bloody harem slippers for eunuchs

Why do some of the newer style trainers look like Aladdin's shoes?

Oos

Sold out

Only have 7.5 which suits me,

i'm not sure what you mean by "the epic have no front foot support" , most of the newer Nike running shoes are made for fore foot runners. Running in the Epic & odyssey reacts (and especially the vaporflys) is easier for fore foot runners.

I have found most of the Nike "running shoes" are just lifestyle shoes and are not suitable for running - those with the clear plastic tend to puncture and then become useless. I have encountered the sole unit separates from the sock part and no heel support. The epic have no front foot support and have a sole that wears quickly and slips in anything but dry tarmac. The best of Nike's for me has been the Pegasus range, they have a relatively narrow fitting so may not be suitable for you. Your best bet are Asics Gel series and the Adidas Boost range at present. Mizuono and New Balance always produce consistent but rather bland real running shoes.

any unidays code anyone .....cheers

Extra 10% off student discount works on these btw with Unidays.

Get the epic reacts, they are not quite the vaporflys but they are incredibly reactive fast.

I can only see this colour and only up to size 9.5 for mens https://www.nike.com/gb/t/air-zoom-pegasus-35-running-shoe-kX9NZL/942851-005? Found the women’s also same price size 2.5 up to 9 all in stock in green Other colours fewer sizes

great running shoe. This is not a good price though.

Brrrr, under £59 direct in Nike sale with NJOY20 code.

I have purchased bluetooth headphones from this brand before and was not happy - went with simillar priced ACEKOOL ones for 14£ and the quality of audio is much better - much deeper bass as well also available on amazon prime

Bought these last year and still going strong. Have to say the wireless speaker by the same company is also still going well, and fabulous sound quality. Also got https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074W1WWNK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on Black Friday last year for about £15 and would say they are better quality but currently on at £20 with a possible 5% discount.

well i have posted couple of times :) now I bought these bluedio Bluetooth ones from eBay they have excellent sound quality too for few quid more, and the battery lasts for ever on these :D

Bought a pair of these in May, they stopped holding a charge within two months. Easy enough to get a refund though.

But to be fair you can get them in beige (non-iD) at the moment for £65 on ASOS...

I made them look as colourful as possible - thought everyone would snap them up with the HUK on them!!

These are super ugly!

Ice ice baby

I couldn't agree more i have the mi band 2 and intend getting the band 3 soon. This Huawei is a bit different in that it is basically for runners with its ability to be placed on shoe when running giving data for landing method, ground impact, valgus amplitude, swing angle, stride, step frequency, touchdown time), and offer scientific interpretation and motion suggestions for running parameters , so thought worth posting for fitness fanatics

my mi band 3 cost around 20 quid and for that is damn fine. can read emails, texts, on the band, also all notifications work well. unlocks phone(android) so i never need enter a pin to open the screen. has alarms, counts steps, measures sleep, accurate too! I can share the information with friends/family via the mi app. finally it needs charging about once a month, takes maybe 4 hours. even tells the time in case that's important :-) no GPS (totally unimportant to me because i always have my phone with me) but also no NFC (i'd love to be able to pay for stuff with google pay via my watch). but would highly recommend for the money.

I already have a Garmin Forerunner... Do I need this?

I've got mi band 3 and it's awesome for what you pay for and in my opinion looks better as well

I didn't even think they were out yet, thought they were preorders. Never had a problem with batteries on any of my huawei stuff.

Only sizes 4,5,6

Thanks for sharing @exclusiveitems , great find, hope you don't mind, added some more info into your op & a pair of New Balance Running shoes that look a great price :) heat added

I agree, great deal, esp for the people that have the annual delivery pass.

Zalando.com have the men's black and white Ultraboost from the " show your stripes pack " down to less than half price at £ 74.25 with the code UKHOTDEAL4. All sizes in stock at the moment . Also parley laceless ultraboost at £72.00 delivered plus lots of I-5923 and other boost models at half price.

Definitely not true to size im a 10 but size up to 11 in these, also 11.5 if not in stock. Allways been the case for ultra boost

Much appreciated kind sir. Ordered!!

Anyone got a unidays code to spare? Would really appreciate it :)
