has anyone tried the Vomero's?
i bought a pair a few weeks ago and im suffering from worse than usual shin splints and a giant blister on the side of my right foot that won't go away.
im used to running in Nike Air Max but i felt as though there was too much cushion
You substituted Air Max for Nike's top end most cushioned premium shoe.... The Vomero. It is made of clouds and compressed cotton candy to stop heel strikers destroying their knee's from jogging 12mpw.
Pegasus is what you want if you need a neutral trainer that isn't cushioned beyond belief.
Do the college runners out there all train in the same brand as your team's shoe sponsor? 60 second survey... http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L3WPVR6
I'm amazed to hear someone say that the LunarFly is for the fat kid in gym class as that has been the only thing I have found that didn't hurt me after I finally used my last pair of Skylons.
I went from the Haywards to the skylons and ended up finding about 20 pair on ebay that last me awhile.
Afterward, a buddy at a shoe store gave me a pair of Lunarfly's. They aren't perfect, but they are lightweight and soft, and are as close to a skylon as I've found. Plus, you can find them on ebay for 40-50/pair. I recently bought 4-pair off ebay for 150 total.
Part of the reason I've never tried the other shoes mentioned here is that I refuse to pay anywhere near 100 when I can get last season's model off of eastbay or ebay for half the cost.
The best part about the lunar's is that I manage to get 600-700 miles off each pair whereas the skylons wouldn't make it 400.
If I can find a pair of the lunarspeed lite, I'm going to try a pair of those as that sounds like even a better comparison to the skylon.
Anyone know when the newest Structure is coming out? I'm through my fourth pair of the 16s and was hoping the 17s would be out soon. Any news? Or leaked pictures?
Yeah, here is a picture of the new structure from the Oregon Project Instagram :
The Zoom Elite is by far the best. Great shoe, as it offers adequate support, tremendous cushion, and isn't bulky.

Thanks! How are you sure they are the new structures? Aside from the fact that Rupp wears the Structure...just curious. Thanks!
Has anyone tried the Flyknit Free yet?
I run in the structures and the free 3 depending on workout and how am I feeling. I haven't tried any of the flyknit/flywire shoes but am curious.
I can tell because they pretty much have the same mid-sole. Slight changes but nothing drastic.

at 200 a pop? damnnnnn. no way, Jose
I miss the luna trainer. Loved that shoe! Currently in the Glides. Hated the early versions but it's much more neutral and flexible now.
Not related to the original post but I find it strange that Rupp wears the structure. He appears to be a mid foot supinator yet wears a pronation shoe. I'm not a biomechanics pro and he may be a late stage pronator but doesn't seem like a shoe he would wear.
Maybe the whole shoe classification system is meaningless.
Totally agree.
I had 3 pair of the Skylons that I loved to death and couldn't find anything close.
Even though the Lunarfly had a bit too much stability for me I really enjoyed the ride of these. Great price. Now I hear theyre are discontinuing them so stock up again my friend!
Go with the pegs best shoe year and year out for nike and is usually fairly cheap. Lunar glides are also nice.
Recently picked up the LunarFly 4+ for about $36 and I have been pleasantly surprised. Light and responsive. I had the original LuanrGlides and wasn't a fan, but picked up a cheap pair of the newer version and like them a lot. Great cushioning and feel for the road on my easy days or if I'm feeling beat up.

Correction... I should have said mid-1970s when they started coming out with their own shoes rather than re-selling Tiger shoes (now Asics).

Yeah, I remember those LDVs. But when the Internationalist came out, it blew the LDVs away.
I would put the Internationalist and Terra T-C as my all-time favorites; I know that was not the original premise of this thread.
If the Internationalist was re-released, it would likely be inferior to current models. It just brings back good memories, it was a huge step up from the usual models back then.
BUT--- if the Terra T-Cs were re-released, runners would be mugging other runners in Central Park to get their T-Cs.
