I just ordered a pair of Brooks Defyance 2s online and when they arrived the midsole was missing. I think the BioMoGo degraded before I had a chance to run in them. Has anyone else had a similar experience? A friend told me their midsole disappeared in the middle of a run and they had to run 5 miles home barefoot.
No experience with BioMoGo, but one time I was out on a 20 miler, and I was having a good day, I mean I felt like I could really fly. So as I got further and further into the run and I just kept going faster and faster. But as I rounded the top of a monster hill, still cruising, my shoes just up and burst into flames only to come to rest as a pile of ash under my feet. I knew I was fast, but didn't think I could make my shoes do that!
One run, I was in the '04 Pegasus, and cresting a hill, I continued to climb and next thing I knew, WHAM! I was flying sky-high, as the Nike Air was elevating me to the clouds, from where I descended quite quickly when the PSI gave way to gravity...
it takes 20 years for the BioMoGo to degrade in a landfill. They don't just "disappear". If anything, it could be bad manufacturing. I had a pair of Adrenalines that had the webbing stitched 1/2 inch tighter on the left shoe than on the right. I got a massive blister as a result. I went back to the running store and every pair was like that. A bad batch.
I think he was kidding but here's a biomogo video from Brooks...
