It has a convex carbon plate which isn't really needed because you can't feel the so-called “suspension system” and it makes it feel at very slow paces . The Skyward X replaces the Bondi X. It's softer, more cushioned and feels more energetic than the Bondi X due to the PEBA in its midsole but it's still not worth its retail price. ]]> https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/hoka-skyward-x-review/feed/ 0 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/2024/05/best-stability-running-shoes-may-2024/ https://www.runningshoesguru.com/2024/05/best-stability-running-shoes-may-2024/#comments Sun, 12 May 2024 09:17:03 +0000 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/?p=46172 Here's our 6 favorite stability running shoes of the moment.

It has Pebax in its forefoot and core but it doesn't deliver the springy, energetic feeling that you expect. It has deep cushioning with a firm, stable ride that feels awkward at slow paces. The Cloudmonster Hyper has a ride which feels more similar to the Cloudboom Echo 3 than the regular Cloudmonster and it's best suited to steady-paced runs. ]]> https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/on-cloudmonster-hyper-review/feed/ 0 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/topo-athletic-magnifly-5-review/ https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/topo-athletic-magnifly-5-review/#respond Fri, 26 Apr 2024 08:14:04 +0000 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/?post_type=reviews_road&p=46068 The Topo Athletic Magnify 5 is a zero-drop daily trainer that provides enough midsole to protect your feet on those easy miles of both running and your daily walks.

It’s not the softest or most plush shoe in the max cushion category but it is a very smooth shoe that helps make paces feel faster while also having awesome grip on the road. The redesigned upper in this shoe helps wrap your foot around some softness, although it’s still not as plush as other max cushioned shoes on the market. ]]> https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/puma-magnify-nitro-2-review/feed/ 0 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/2024/04/what-can-we-expect-from-the-new-nike-pegasus-41/ https://www.runningshoesguru.com/2024/04/what-can-we-expect-from-the-new-nike-pegasus-41/#comments Mon, 15 Apr 2024 10:15:58 +0000 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/?p=46003 You've read about the changes coming to the Pegasus 41.

It has a stiff midsole with an aggressive forefoot rocker but the new FF Turbo+ foam doesn't compress much so you don't get a very bouncy ride. The Edge Paris is lighter and more cushioned than its predecessor but still not soft enough for full marathons. ]]> https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/asics-metaspeed-edge-paris-review/feed/ 2 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/puma-velocity-nitro-3-review/ https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/puma-velocity-nitro-3-review/#respond Sat, 06 Apr 2024 13:27:23 +0000 https://www.runningshoesguru.com/?post_type=reviews_road&p=45953 The Puma Velocity Nitro 3 is a do it all type of shoe with the benefit of having a very affordable price point.

It doesn't provide as much speed assistance as the competition and it transitions slowly from heel to forefoot if you're a heel striker. Version 2 is softer and more cushioned than version 1 but it is heavier and feels slower. ]]> https://www.runningshoesguru.com/reviews/road/puma-fast-r-nitro-elite-2-review/feed/ 0
