    Loyd, very much enjoying the R1 as well as the trainer, the S1. There’s a definite need for an ultra road shoe and the dual lacing system is working well for me after about 75 miles. When I raced a 200-mile rail-to-trail race on crushed limestone and some tarmac, used the original Hoka Tecton X for the first 135 miles. At that point, my feet had swelled a full size and I could no longer fit in them. In scenarios like that, the M2C lacing in the forefoot could be a game changer.

    Hello Lloyd, in the fall, I will be running a fasted 5x5: five road marathons in five days while fasting. Would you recommend the R1 for all five marathons (131 mi)? Or would you recommend rotating every other day with another shoe (Superblast) to allow the R1 midsole to relax before next use? Thank you, Lloyd.

    Hi! I think you must have gotten the inov-8 trailfly 'speed' in wide (and not standard) since that's the only current option available? The inov-8 trailfly speed (wide) fits my feet great. I think it's because my heel is quite narrow while my forefoot is wider. My heel and midfoot fits securely while my toes can spread without sliding around. If they ever come out in a 'standard' version, I'm curious to hear your thoughts if you have the opportunity to give them another try :) I was super impressed by their boomerang insole as well!

      I totally agree that skill has a big part to play when running on technical trails. I’ve been running on technical trails for around 20 years so I have the skills. I’ve also run on the trails in 100’s of different makes and models of trail shoes and the Zegama 2 is that stable. The midsole cushioning is comfortable but it’s never going to be stable with that amount of cushioning under your foot. Then we’ve got to mention the weight and drainage issues! 🤔 I also ride mountain bikes 👍

      @Run4Adventure I haven't run in them a ton yet but have loved them thus far. I haven't tried nearly as man shoes, but can say they're say more comfortable than some of the recent trail shoes I've tried, which is a big deal for me and my foot injuries. I tried the Brooks Caldera 7 on and immediately hated them. Went for the Zegama 2 over the 2 Hokas I was looking at since Hoka is typically way too narrow for me. Kinda random, but I do love the Hoka Skyward X as it's the most comfortable Hoka I've ran in thus far. Yeah, coming from a mtb background helps immensely. You make a good point, skill is most important, but a better bike, or shoes is gonna get that much more out of you for sure. Maybe I'll change my mind after more running in them, but for now I'm loving the Zegama 2. Won't have rain in Northern California anytime soon, so won't know the verdict in rainy weather.

    I’m a massive fan of older Nike trail shoes, Pegasus 2 and 3 are still my go to shoe. I’d love to try a pair of zegama 2’s but they do look really heavy and clunky. And as for those Scott’s!! What on earth were they thinking 😂

    The trailfly is very comfy but absurdly ugly... The trailfly speed is great looking but you definitely feel too much underfoot for my liking very similar to the Altra lone peak 8. Inov8's brilliant move to footshaped shoes whilst also offering wides is going to be game changing for me. Just offer a lightweight road shoe with mid cushion and i will live in them an the trailfly!

    Just picked up a sale pair of Zegama 1s. I'd like to find a shoe which I think will work well for ultra distance on potentially hard summer trails. I'm not fully sold on my Speedgoat 5s for very long distance because the soles of my feet seem to not be happy - weird one I know.

    It's been the Saucony Xudos 3. What a terrible shoe. I picked it up for the spine challenger north this year. My god what a terrible choice of shoe that didnt perform on anything. The show felt clunky, the wide forefoot was not good underfoot and had me rolling twice, the midsole has as much give as a flattened cardboard box, the grip is not good at all and much much worse on wet slabs. It has zero energy return or flexibility, and I felt everything through the rock plate unfortunately. 2 good points are, it drains when wet and the rocker is decent, which is lucky as it gives no bounce or return at all. I swapped them out for my g300's and what a difference in comfort and rerun I got. This was such a shame.

      @@Run4Adventure To be honest I don't think it will change, it's very flat and tbh it felt boring to run in. On the spine there is every terrain and this worked in none of them for one reason or another. I don't know where the energy return of the Xudos has gone, but it's gone.

    This type of video is really appreciated and necessary. Often videos are only ever promotions and glorify shoes. Meanwhile any written reviews that are not positive are usually negative and a disgruntled wearer rather than anything constructive. People spend a lot of money on the footwear so it's good to know some opinions on why they don't suit someone.

    Not sure I agree about the Zegama 2. Some other UA-cam folks used it at Cocodona and loved it. It runs very smooth, and has great geometry. Not sure how you are running in it, but it is decently stable -- at least as stable as the Caldera 6. The Zegama 2 takes time to break in too. But I think you also are ignoring what the Zegama 2 was built for. If you are going to run super technical terrain, you shouldn't be in a high max cushion shoe. You should be in a Kjerag or something similar -- super responsive and great ground feel. The Zegama 2 is for putting in lots of miles and working on your endurance, on mellower terrain. For that, it works exceptionally well and I cannot think of any shoe that I have tried that is even close to as good as the Zegama 2 -- it has a remarkably wonderful fit and feels so darn comfortable.

    • @Run4Adventure
      @Run4Adventure 3 дні тому

      I totally agree with you Christopher when it comes to the upper. It fits my foot like a glove and I find it comfortable, like I said in the video. Nike said on their website that Zegama 2 is designed for running high ridges and jagged rocks, not just flat trails. Also have you run them in wet conditions? The upper really doesn’t perform well in the wet, it’s terrible! I’ve run in a lot of trail shoes over the years and I’ve tried many cushioned trail shoes that are just as comfortable underfoot as the Zegama 2 but they’re a lot more stable on tech trails 👍 Like I said in the video, shoe choice is such a personal thing and what doesn’t work well for me, might be great for someone else and this prove what I was saying. Thanks for watching 🙏🙂

      @@Run4Adventure Where I live, it rains a lot. It is okay in the wet and for stream crossings. It isn't something I would wear if I was going to be running in heavy, heavy rain conditions though or with lots of water crossings. I'm not going to name names, but other shoes that are max cushion, I find run awful -- either squishy or just not very smooth. I've accepted the fact that I simply will need different shoes for different outings/running goals. I totally agree about Nike's PR work. The Zegama 2 is NOT the Ultrafly Trail -- and that description is more appropriate for the Ultrafly Trail.

      ​@@Run4Adventure Ha! Actually, I'm not a Nike fan, as they only recently started using Vibram, and I cannot imagine running in anything that doesn't have Vibram! I only like the Zegama 2. I've run in Norda (yuck -- not a fun run), Hoka (speedgoat, mafate, etc.), Speedland (vastly overrated imho), Brooks (Caldera), Salomon, and Nnormal. I only recently decided to try the Zegama 2 because I needed a max cushion shoe for longer workouts and runs and nothing max cushion worked very well for me. I've liked it a lot more than I ever expected -- a surprise honestly. My favorite shoe is probably the Kjerag, but I cannot run in that shoe full time. I look forward to trying the Hoka Tecton x 3 -- and maybe that one will make me happy.

    After more than 50 pairs of Speedgoat 3s and 4s, I could not use the 5s without expensive insoles. The insole in the 5 is thin junk and led to significant metatarsal pain. The worst forefoot cushioning in any Hoke I've worn. Other people I know found the same thing. Since then I switched to the Speedlands which have been amazing. I hope Hoke fixes this in the 6 because I still like other things about the Speedgoats.
