I love them. Did every kind of run in them including a 16km long run. Definitely prefer the feel over the Novablast 5 which feels too soft for me.

I did opt for the GRVL version though. I liked it so much that I got 3 more backup pairs.

For paces faster than 4:00/km it might be a bit bulky for most. Although it felt fine for me when I did sprints in them too.

I'm nowhere near that yet

Thanks, I think I'm getting myself a pair or Aero Glides then Watched a lot of reviews and the sentiment is pretty positive.

I was wrong. I did a half in the GRVL version. The 16K was my first ever run in the normal road version and my first run back after being sick (which resulted in my knee issue, but that was not the shoe. It was me being stupid doing too much too quickly).


The GRVl has more rubber and should last longer, but is warmer.

lmao, it's quite accurate. I started with stage 6 now Half marathon. I just bought my left and right socks. The goal is full marathon though.

In the last 12 weeks, I have broken my Roodepoort Parkrun PB 6 times, and my overall Parkrun PB once. My previous PBs (overall and Roodepoort) were 8 years ago. I don't know what suddenly changed.

Did it again. I did my 550th parkrun, and 350th at Roodepoort, and managed a Parkrun PB (26:41), and that on a pretty hilly course.

Yup. There were quite a few of those that hit way too close to home. I mean I'm disappointed that certain socks aren't L/R now
