    It’s inescapable, you’re always going to look like a tool wearing supershoes.

    The people on /r/RunningShoeGeeks seem to think super shoes are awkward feeling at anything slower than 8 minute pace (really they are designed to work best at 4:30 to low 5 minute pace)

    So I guess if we go by that, 3:30-4 hour range is the perceived cutoff for a semi serious hobby male marathoner...

    I use my old Vaporflies for easy runs (especially longer easy runs) and I run them slower than 8min/mile pace and I can tell you they do not feel awkward at that pace.
