Great reviews you have on this site. I...Hi there, <br /><br />Great reviews you have on this site. I have a question if you can help me with. Need new shoes for weekly longer runs 30+ km for around 70 max. EUR. I am an Adidas fan and currently using their line of boost shoes for all purposes. For long runs I use Supernovas but they need replacement. I can`t decide between Saucony Ride ISO 2, Adidas Solar Drive and Brooks Launch 6. As I am a light runner, Solar Drive would be as heavy as Supernovas are (my only complaint about them). I used Brooks Launch 4 and Saucony Ride 9 in the past and generally liked them albeit both felt a bit stiff on long runs. What shoe would you recommend to me? Stick with Adidas line and get Solar Drive or try Saucony Ride iso 2 or Brooks Launch 6.

About the same amount of cushion so comes down really to ride preference.

I have ran for years but just single digit weekly miles as an adjunct to strength training. As a result I am neither strong nor fleet of foot. I would be delighted to maintain an 11:00 minute per mile pace for my next marathon. I ran my first marathon last year in a pair of NB Beacons. I incurred some IT Band issues late in the race though. I don't know that it was the shoes fault but I think something with more cushioning might be wise for my next go round. I am intrigued with the Rincons. Thank you again sir.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-76305228016500298622019-06-07T14:57:09.460-06:002019-06-07T14:57:09.460-06:00Hi David,

One thing to consider is their weight at pretty close to 10 oz which is a bit heavy for a "racing" shoe when you can get something like the upcoming Hoka Rincon or the Vaporfly at well well under 8 oz. What do you train and race in now and what kind pace are you shooting for?<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-10509920157274470012019-06-07T14:51:50.322-06:002019-06-07T14:51:50.322-06:00Would you consider the Ride ISO 2 a marathon shoe?...<br />Would you consider the Ride ISO 2 a marathon shoe?

If it fits you (it has broad in-elastic upper) you might look a Salming Greyhound. You might also like Skechers GO Run Ride 7 although a bit less than 8mm drop at 6mm. NB 1080v9 is a super fine option. Although quite a bit heavier the Brooks Glycerin 17 is another to look at.<br />Reviews of all below.<br />Sam, Editor<br /><br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!

Another comparison question...Thanks for the answer.<br />Another comparison question. Is this a firmer shoe with a firmer landing than the Zealot ISO 3? Or is the Zealot a more plush ride overall? I have a Zealot, and I love it, looking for similar cushion with an 8mm drop. If the Ride ISO 2 is a noticeably firmer shoe, I'm open to other suggestions.

This said it is not a plush, plush forefoot feel, more a performance feel near but not quite daily trainer. it is slightly softer than ISO 1, enough to be noticed agile and flexible with that great road feel I mention in review. Haven't run many Mizuno to compare but don't care for their Wave at the rear, overly rigid stiff and stable in the Wave Rider 19 or so and drop is excessive for me in combination with heel<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-28870397850479351112019-04-30T15:14:56.725-06:002019-04-30T15:14:56.725-06:00Correction: My comment should be addressed to Sam ...Correction: My comment should be addressed to Sam :-).Susan Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-59769114283676702212019-04-30T15:11:56.773-06:002019-04-30T15:11:56.773-06:00Hey Mark,
Interesting review of the new Ride ISOs...Hey Mark, <br />Interesting review of the new Ride ISOs. I tried the first version this past winter, trying somewhat lower drop shoes after years of my faithful Mizuno Wave Catalysts and Wave Inspires. I loved the feel of the Ride for the first 5-6 miles of a half marathon, but hated it the last half. The forefoot got very hard, plus I didn't feel I had the same control and road feel that Mizunos gave me. Maybe it was just the hilly Bermuda course that pounded my feet. Are the Ride ISO2s as hard in the forefoot as the previous version?

It has a more substantial, almost over substantial upper with Ride ISO's lighter on the foot and more comfortable. Ghost leans more towards classic cushioned daily trainer, Ride towards performance but still daily trainer. Ride is more fun to run. You can see our Ghost review at the link below.<br />Sam, Editor <br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!
