I have a pair of 1080 V14 and a pair of Fuelcell Rebel.

I don't like what they have done with their logo... Their shoes also never tend to go really cheap.

My Hoka clifton 9s I paid R850 for, Novablast R1500 each pair, NB 1080 R1300, Reebok A1 carbon plate shoes R550, Puma Nitro 2 Magnify R800 and my Gel-Cumulus R1200.

Asics and Puna goes very often on sale online

Wow you got some good bargains
 
I am guessing I need to retire my current 880v10s (2020) got them on sale around 2022/23 and they have passed the 600km mark.

I have the NB More V5 and the 860V14. The 860 just didn't work for my running style, ended up using it as a general wear shoe instead. It's comfortable to walk in, not running. The More V5 I took on a couple of runs, but prefer the Puma MagMax.

How's the Magnify? It's the only Puma shoe I haven't tried since it seems to be very similar to the MagMax and I already have that.

I only got them last week from my work. Initial feel is very nice and comfy but I haven't had a chance to go for a run, I've dedicated them to Hyrox training shoes 😅

When i tried them on they gave me Novablast feeling but just better grip.

It's very difficult to judge shoes in my opinion on a treadmill vs road... I ran this morning on my Clifton 9s on the treadmill since its pouring with rain and I prefer them so much more on tar 🤣
 
Guys who have the rebel v5 ( I also have it). Is it normal for the insole to come out sometimes when taking your foot out.

My Fuelcell Propel insoles come out all the time. They actually a little too large i feel for the shoe so on the outer edges that actually have caused a bit of a curl on them... They are about 2 years old now but i always had this issue

I love the 860 series; I pronate slightly, and they're perfect. Been running with various versions for years. I think I'm on V13 now, and have another V13 pair in the cupboard waiting for when these get downgraded to running parkrun.
 
Seems that 16k was indeed a bad idea. Tried to go for a run today and manage 1km before my left knee noped out. Guess it needs more time to recover.

My New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 V11's were great. Got nearly 1800km out of them. When it came time to replace, I naturally wanted another pair but the outlets were out of stock. Ended up with a pair of Nikes through Discovery. While they weren't horrible (I managed my one and only sub 4 marathon in them), they didn't feel as nice to run in as the NB's.

Would go for another pair now if I could but they are just so ludicrously expensive.

The V11's were awesome. Used mine till the soles were smooth then they went to mowing duties. Retired when I started slipping on the grass :(

Just did a 5km in the Magnify shoes and yea remind me a bit of a firmer Novablast 5.

Did the 5km in 31 minutes but legs were stiff from gym and the wind was killing me but run was nice.

Interesting. Now I really want to know what you think of the Aero Glide 3 since that's what I'd call a firmer more stable Novablast 5.
