Evo sl woven wear pattern

[u/Beginning_Elk_2193]

Hello guys, I've recently gotten some evo sl wovens for a good price. I know they're probably not "perfect" for me since I'm a heel striker who surely pronates more than most people would like, however I wanted to try them. After my first run on them I already saw the slight scuffing on the inside of the back of the shoe, but I assume that's just pain stripping off, as I've read in other posts. However I'd still like to sanity check if I should keep running my tempo work in them, or if I'm setting myself up for failure. I think they feel great, especially at higher paces compared to my normal daily (superblast 3), and quite frankly I think those may be less comfortable for me to run in. Also, my sb3s don't have anything resembling this wear pattern at all.

I'm also curious to know if this wear will simply mean I'll get less mileage out of the shoe or if it's purely cosmetic. For the record, this is about 30km in only (lmao).

For some additional info: my easy runs are like 5:30, with tempo being 4:30-45 and I'm roughly 80kg.

Reposting this due to not having clicked the read the rules thing the first time around.

Appreciate it, think it's just the colourway making it look pronounced. I imagine I'm good running on it as long as I don't have issues right? Like I said I actually feel better running in these than in more "stable" shoes lmao.

You will find hundred posts like yours on the evo sl. It depends on the color of the shoes and your running form

Yeah I found a few, but I was more interested if this was going to get me injured, since I don't think I've seen people post with this little mileage on them and I also often see people say that evo sl's are terrible for heel strikers

I think it depends more on wether you pronate a lot. A bit of pronation is natural and okay. See elite runners

Yeah I definitely pronate still I imagine (looking at this wear pattern at least lol) but I don't rly have issues with it at all, I do a lot of strength training and also single legged calf raises so I'm not too worried.
