I own both these shoes (2008), and considering choosing one for a marathon. In your opinion, which would be more protective? The Adizero LT is 1/2 ounce lighter, roughly 8 oz vs 8.5.
Thanks

I am all for the Ronin I own a pair and get some nice wkts out of them
As for their protection I think they will give you all you need
I had a friend who ran the Leadville 100 in a pair he chose to switch at 50 miles but could have made it all in one pair
that being said there is a difference between the roads and the rugged trail of CO
Go with the Mizunos you won't be disappointed
Enjoy and have a good race
I put 450 miles on a pair of LTs last year before retiring them, and currently run in several other Adizeros (mainly the Adios and Rocket). I've tried on the Ronin but never run mileage in them. My feeling was that they're both in the same weight and type class, so you're probably best going with the one that feels better. They should both hold up to a marathon fine (I've done up to 50 miles in the LT without problem). Just make sure you're fine doing 15-20 miles in them. I actually think the LT is my favorite overall shoe because it provided enough cushioning while still being light and low, and I almost got the Ronin since it was so similar.
Thanks for your comments.
That is one vote for each. Any more opinions out there?
i love the ronin. have not worn the LT. i recently ran a marathon in the ronin and my feet came through it ok, if a little on the tender side. i just love the way they feel on my feet.
