Felt like the 1/2 size small Nike trail shoes of yesteryear. Does anyone else find they run short?

It is rarely ever wet here, I think since May or June, I have only had the opportunity to run in the wet 2 times (and unfortunately not in the Peg 3, so can't really comment accurately).<br /><br />The 10mm drop has not been an issue, but I am rarely ever bothered or sensitive to drop (unless it is 0, which I don't care for).<br /><br />Have not reviewed the Fuji Live v2, unfortunately.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-63390984749919525362021-10-26T13:34:30.712-06:002021-10-26T13:34:30.712-06:00@ Renee
Greatly appreciate your reply. I always e...@ Renee<br /><br />Greatly appreciate your reply. I always enjoy reading your perspective as you run (very) long distances on gravel roads (and I’m sure lotsa asphalt, too). Fab HM and marathon times, too!<br /><br />From your experience, it seems like the Torrent 2 might be, in some ways, quite similar to the Xodus I have, being better at technical trails/vertical than buffed-out trails and wet/snowy roads, though can do both.<br /><br />I did read (and re-read) your team’s glowing review of the Fuji Lite 2 when it was published, noted many great aspects of the shoe, but wondered if it had enough forefoot cushion with 18mm/14mm (I’m 185-190lbs), though Flytefoam can be terrifically bouncy and soft. I’ll return and give your review a deeper dive.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />@ Jeff<br /><br />Envy the Colorado trails and mountains you call home! Your yearly vertical #’s (and pace up) are astonishing!<br /><br />Great, succinct summary. My one pause with the Trail v3 is, it seems, widely criticized traction on wet surfaces (and the 10mm drop might take some getting used to). On my shortlist for this winter. <br /><br />Have you run in the Fuji Lite v2?<br /><br />Thank you.Robbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-78492884723506618072021-10-25T18:42:32.852-06:002021-10-25T18:42:32.852-06:00Hi Robbie,
For less technical trails, of the sho...Hi Robbie, <br /><br />For less technical trails, of the shoes you list, I think the Pegasus Trail 3 would be the best of the bunch, followed by the Challenger ATR 6, but that is if you preferring max cushion. Of those two, ATR 6 for faster running, Peg Trail 3 for more casual stuff (one of THE most comfortable shoes I own). For shorter more spirited runs, Torrent 2. Saucony MR TR 2 is a fine shoe, but I like it more on technical terrain than I do less technical, but does both well (if it means anything to you though, I have not continued to run in Mad River since I reviewed last year, but continue to use the others).Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-8886969012288411622021-10-25T15:02:40.095-06:002021-10-25T15:02:40.095-06:00@Robbie,
I have not ran with the Mad River TR2 or...@Robbie,<br /><br />I have not ran with the Mad River TR2 or the Trabuco 9. I do use the Torrent 2 and have ran with the ATR5. You might also consider the ASICS Fuji Lite 2, which is light weight and has enough comfort for 20+ mile runs (for me anyway). Here are my comparisons to those shoes:<br /><br />Torrent 2: The Torrent 2 is a much light, quicker, and nimble trail shoe with a much lower drop. I would not place these shoes in the same category. Although the Peg Trail 3 runs lighter than its literal weight, the ride is not as nimble or quick in any regard as compared to the Torrent 2. For long runs on buffed, non-technical terrain, I would choose the Peg Trail 2 for the general comfort. Generally, I trust the Peg Trail 3 for distances greater than 20 miles as compared to the Torrent 2, although efficient runners can use the Torrent 2 for ultras. The Torrent 2 works for buffed surfaces and technical terrain. Overall, for trails, the Torrent 2 is a great shoe and a clear winner between these two shoes. For easy cruising efforts, the Peg Trail 3 might have a slight advance. <br /><br />ATR5: I did not run with the ATR6 because the 5 was not working for me. As compared to the Peg Trail 3, the ATR is much lighter (lower drop of course) but it still has the cushion and stack for long runs. The distinct Hoka rocker did not work for my stride or foot landing and I found the midfoot to be too narrow. <br /><br />Fuji Lite 2: The Fuji Lite 2 has enough cushion for long runs and its light weight makes it a great choice for races of any distance on basically any trail-type surface. Overwhelming, I would pick the Fuji Lite 2 as the better shoe, although I would save my Fujis for quality runs and use the Peg Trail 3 for easy or recovery miles. <br /><br />Good luck!<br />-ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441665960838170760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-52977301784066929532021-10-25T13:06:20.285-06:002021-10-25T13:06:20.285-06:00Great, informative review as always.

Looking to add trail shoe for buffed trail to my more technical Xodus, how does Trail 3 compare to similar-use light trail shoes released lately such as the Saucony "Mad River TR2", Asics "Trabuco 9" or Hoka "Torrent 2" and "ATR 6"?Robbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-36558584156059247722021-09-09T01:32:35.797-06:002021-09-09T01:32:35.797-06:00Thanks for the review Jeff!

Also, how would you compare it to the Cascadia 16?
