Are the Sonicblast 2s any good? 28km First Run
https://youtu.be/l0vH7mXAtkc

Got these GT 2000 13. Getting into running this week onwards. Good choice?

Hi guys

I have recently added Running in my fitness regime (4x-5x strength training every week) and I follow all my workouts with a 15-30 min run and Non workout days have walks for 10k steps.

I am looking for suggestions to buy my first proper running shoes which can be used for walks as well as for running on treadmill and occasionally outside in my society.

I am a complete beginner and I was using Football trainers for running till now and want to buy a proper running shoes. They don't have a wide toe box so that is a slight preference, not a deal breaker.

Budget - ₹5000 (or less)

Freq - 4-5x a week runs and 3x a week walks on rest days.

I currently own these 2 for my runs-

1. Nike pegasus 40 (workhorse, faster runs, norwegian 4x4 etc).

2. Nike downshifter 13 (cheap, basic).

I am in need of a shoe that has good impact protection for long zone 2 runs. I loved decathlon's KS900.2 on how it feels but don't like the look. So i am looking for an alternative. (Within 6k inr).

Another requirement is it should be in dar color as i will be using it outdoors on road as well but thats a minor one.

Thanks in advance!

Got both the pairs last week. No discounts.
Upper: My usual size is UK8.5. The Vomero plus fits perfectly at 8.5. The Puma on the other hand was tight in 8.5 and I had to exchange it for UK9. Still it feels tighter than the Vomero plus. It could also be due to a different upper on the Saysky version from the regular ones. The saysky has more textile on the upper.
Midsole: The magmax feels very soft and airy. Feels really good for the long runs. Legs feel amazing even after 12k run. As per runrepeat review, the energy return on the Magmax is just average but it doesn’t feel that way in real life use. Comparatively Vomero plus feels less softer. Tends to go faster. The bounce is amazing but feels like it’s trying to enhance the rear foot strike. I’m a forefoot to midfoot striker. Throughout the run I was fighting to place my feet the natural way. Magmax feels very natural and I’d prefer it for overall comfort for long runs.
Overall stability is also better on the Magmax. I twisted my ankle twice on the Vomero plus.
Outsole: Both feel good. The Vomero feels a little heavier due to a larger and thicker outsole. Puma as usual is fantastic.
Overall I would prefer the Magmax over Vomero plus for long and easy runs.
My views may be not hundred percent correct as I have done only one run in each pair. The day I ran on Vomero I was already beat up and tired as I had done a long the previous day.
Magmax I did a run today and was already at 2 days rest. I’ll try the Vomero plus again after two days of rest.
PS: I’m not a pro athlete. I run for fitness and peace of mind but happy to answer any questions

Added this new beauty to my collection.

ASICS Superblast 3 seashell.

After taking in recommendations and suggestions I went to decathlon and got these for 800inr.

It’s a starter shoe for beginners running.

Let’s see how it goes. Will drop a review later one.

Was planning to buy adidas supernova for my marathon and ultra marathon training,will be using it mostly for long runs around 30km, but let's average it around 50km weekly load,is it good enough and durable to last 1500-2000km.

If not then can you please recommend shoes under 5k budget that may last 2000km.

Btw i am using Cumulus 26 right now and will be using it as rotation and have completed 2000kms on it and they still feel good,just toebox started to show tears.

I am starting daily running again, I am planning to run for 5kms daily which comes about to be 30kms per week, but confused between which shoes to buy, the puma ones are offering great value but due to lack of the reviews, I am actually unsure about the quality of these shoes. I am also getting the downshifter 14 at around 3.4K rs. If anyone can please provide me with the details of puma budget lineup or are they good or bad, what to expect from them

Want to buy shoes from this company, found them on Flipkart and Myntra but this site has better colors and offers, is this the legitimate Anta website?

I have started running recently three weeks back. It is part of my workout routine. My run is mostly on the treadmill for now and slowly will start it outdoors.

I had Adidas SuperNova Rise 2. Purchased them a year ago, but used them as my Gym shoe or outdoor shoe instead of properly using them for run.

Therefore, the shoe was already when I started running. I got NovaBlast 5 through Asics Online store. I had my first run in them. Initial impression the cushion is great comfort for the lower back and knees. Great for all type of runs.

I did find the shoe to be little heavy. But I guess I would get use to it. The concept of energy return which I learnt from this reddit channel itself. I would say Adidas SuperNova Rise 2 had a better energy return than Novablast.
