Retired/Returned:

  • CTM Ultra - Firm ride.  Alternative to cushioned shoes.
  • Hoka Mach 4 - Nice shoes.  Like this as an easy day choice.
  • Nike Alphafly - Long run shoes.  Need to wear down. 
  • Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Prefer the Sense Ride 2 as it is not as squishy on the trail.
  • Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 Aqua - Training shoe.
  • Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 Black - New
  • Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 White/Pink - Training shoe.
  • Nike Vaporfly Next % Volt - Race shoe.

  • Salomon Sense Ride 2 - Like this over the Pegasus.  Firmer ride.  Better for trails.
  • Saucony Endorphin Pro - Firmer than Vaporfly.  But not bad.  Probably won't take over 1/2 marathon.  Good for shorter races.  Will use as primary trainer for long runs.  
Thinking About:
  • Hoka Mach 6
