100kg runner with leg issues, however, am now using gel nimbus 26. So comfortable and certainly helped with the recovery. Been a great addition. Purchased recently for £150 from Cotswold using my Veterans Card.

That's cute, he's talking about "recovery" runs-I just want to get through my Run itself with being sore for a week🤓

I'm quite new to running. I ran a little towards the end of 2023 and start of 2024. I got back into it in November and I've really been enjoying it. I've been running between 15 and 20kms every week and I have a 5k next weekend and a 10k the following weekend. My biggest issue with shoes right now is my weight and my wife feet. I am 6ft, 145kgs (320pounds), down from 175kgs. I have really struggled to find wide fit shoes and the easiest brand in South Africa to get wide fir models is new balance. I have bought a pair of More V4 and 1080v14. Both are great but I am absolutely eating through the more V4s. The ware on the sole runner and midsole after just 35kms is quite scary. If I get 150km from them, I'd be surprised. My 1080s are holding up much better, but after 8km into a run I can feel the midsole getting a little soft under foot and my feet start hurting. I really need a shoe that will hold up to my weight better. A firmer midsole and more durable outsole (or just more of it). It's such a pitty that brands like Puma and Adidas don't cater well for wider feet people.

The Superblast 2 is just too damn narrow with no wide option. This is why I had to go with the Glycerin Max instead.

Great recap - I wear the Brooks Glycerin Max and the Asics SB2 and you ranked them perfectly!

Just retired my New Balance More v4, just ordered the Puma MagMax, can't wait to take them for a spin. The NB was a real joy to run in, but looking forward to a little more responsiven of a ride, and I found the Pumas for just over $100 USD so the price couldn't be beat.
