Dec 2019 Shoes

Currently Recommended for Different Uses, If I had to Pick One Today for Each Use (Dec 2019): Races - Vaporfly Next%, Vaporfly 4% (blue) Tempo, Interval - Vaporfly 4% (orange), Carbon X Hills - Razor 3, New Balance Rebel Easy, Long - New Balance Propel, Solomon Sonic RA 2 All Around - Reebok Forever Energy, New Balance Rebel Cold  weather/rain - Nike Odyssey Shield Other Shoes: New Balance Propel  - So just got this shoe as an alternative to the 1080v10, since it was only $60.  I can get it now for $50.  This is a good long shoe.  The only downside was the high heel collar.  It felt awkward walking, but didn't notice it after I got running. Topo Zephyr  - Still testing this shoe.  Initial run was bad.  But every reviewer has indicated the need for break-in.  Will give in 30 miles.  Initially, very firm.  Adidas Solar Glide  - So, I got this shoe for $35. I had sworn off Boost shoes, but it was so cheap, and the reviews generally good.  Initial try-on was good.  Fi
