AMA. I just wore the super shoes for the 1st time ever. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Just WOW!

I thought I was slow and then I saw rojo.

Is he already 50?

Just WOW!

Jesus people. I run my 2nd best effort in 10 years wihtout even training and people are ripping on me. For the record, I 'm under 200 pounds and under 50 years of age. But can someone imagine the outrage if I was a waoman and people were saying I look old and fat?

On a serious note, this gives me hope I'll break 3:00 at age 50. How many people do that in the country every year?

Guy and gals, I'm joking about it being super scientific. I do plan on getting on a treadmill and running like a mile or two in the super shoes and then the other.

Are the shoes really loud? When I first started running in them I felt like they were making a lot of noise.

Because how they feel doesn't really prove anything. Hiking boots feel different than normal running shoes--see what I mean?.

Yeah this review of super shoes is about as useless as the reviews on REI for mountaineering boots that read "my husband loves these for shoveling the driveway! 5 stars!"

Like a guy who believes the shoes improve running performance put them on, and he ran kinda hard, and it felt like they helped. People review the effectiveness of the joint supplements they buy for their dog though, so I know people put a lot of trust into their gut feeling

rojo, we are all very sorry for being mean to you. now can you please tell us what a dog stroller is?

Please address the dog stroller situation.🙏🏻

This reminds me of that scene in the Lion King where all the hyenas turn on scar and eat him. Done in by the seething hoard he created and weaponized.

Did you not reveal the brand because you don't want to give that brand publicity?

I would probably buy the super shoes if I was me 20 years ago.

Nowadays they don't mean a lot to me. But yeah pretty cool.

Hey the super shoes are like a second chance at running for masters age runners like me.

Seriously, the cushioning allows me to run every day, while there is no way i could weather that if not for the extra cushioning.

No joke, either.

This reminds me of my reaction to putting on super spikes for the first time and doing strides. I think I said aloud "these shouldn't be legal"

Then I ran a 58 second 2 mile PR.

If your dog is old and has bad joints and you still love him/her you get a dog stroller. Pooch can enjoy being outside

Was there a st bernard in that dog stroller?

The Alphaflys and Vaporflys have been around for how long now ? A founder of letsrun tried wearing a pair of one of them for the first time TODAY ?

Shows you what the shoe manufacturers think of this site.

I think Robert Johnson deserves a little bit of credit on this website for his past running performances which I’m guessing are faster than probably 99% of posters on this website. How about 107 for a half marathon and 223 for the full marathon back in 2000 or thereabouts.

I actually met and saw his brother run 28:00 flat for 10,000 m on the track at McGill University (my Alma mater) in Montreal around 2001 I believe. It was an incredible race from Wejo. 28:04 I think it was.

I don’t understand what very old PR’s have to do with a half-baked video trying and failing to take down “super shoes’l

lol. you are a damn treasure ROJO! wish you would tell us what shoes you are wearing though.

any recs on super shoes from anybody else in the thread?

are the endorphin pros good? seems they can be had for a really nice price
