I have yet to find a better shoe, however....

This is definitely a funny shoe -- right out of the box they feel like they're not going to hold up, but I've actually gotten more mileage out of my Axiom 2s than any other trainer I've owned (typically get low 300s, but got 375 out of last pair of the 2s). Just bought another pair, and look forward to the 3s...
I don't have the Axiom 3, but am excited to get a pair when my last pair of the 2's runs out. I've run in my 2's for around 500. By then they are a week (or 2, depending on my rotation) beyond their good cushion point. They feel a bit flatter, and the joints feel it more. What has the MoGo done to other pairs of Brooks? More/Less durable?
MoGo is Brooks' new foam compound. Meaning it is made with different polymers/chemicals, etc than Substance 257 which was their older foam system. MoGo is designed to be more cushioned and provide more energy return than S257. Every shoe company has different foam and rubber compounds that they use.
The Axiom is a $90 shoe which is the new $75-80 dollar shoe these days with price increases. I tell customers that you can expect a shoe to last 300-400 miles (give or take) in this price point depending on your weight, gait, and efficiency. Just my two cents, hope this helps.

Great, thats what I was looking for. Thanks!
i'm 15 years old, weigh 127 lbs, stand about 5-8, have a completely neutral stride, and my axiom 2's last forever.
Anybody else? It looks like the 3 has less support, but not sure.
Oh, I've been trainingg in the Adrenaline and am debating to race in them or the Axiom 3.
I was wondering about the Axiom 3 also. Less support than the 2?
Anyone else have any feedback on these, now that they've been on the market for a while? I was deciding between the two, but if the 3 is dramatically different then I won't waste the time trying out the 2.
The 3 is dramatically different.
