I just went to the running store today.

It's better than the Nike Revolution 4. You may not feel it at first but it offers more support and should last longer.

You never even wore the Nike Revolution 4 before. To me, all running shoes are basically the same. I couldn't even tell the difference when I was testing different shoes in the store.

Wow you got scammed... going from the Nike Revolution 4 to the Asics is a serious downgrade. You might as well have not even bought running shoes in the first place...

The only upgrade from the Revolution 4 is probably either the vaporfly or alphafly, but that’s because we’re still waiting on the carbon plate in the new Nike revolution 6

You do realize this is a serious post?

Yes?... that’s why I gave you my honest opinion. I literally work at a running store.

Tell me how many marathons you’ve seen won by somebody wearing ASICS? Exactly, it’s none. The Nike revo 4 is the way to go

This is why people find you annoying and a POS. You ask for an opinion, somebody gives you an opinion, you shut it down on the spot.

Because I don't know if an opinion is good advice or trolls trying to fool with me like with the guy that talks about the vaporfly

I feel like I wasted $100+ for an unnecessary shoe.

You made a thread about the shoe, the majority of the people said you need something better.

You kept on arguing on a stupid hill that's not worth dying on.

People troll you because you spam these forums with dumb loaded questions and your stupidity/naiveness/ignorance makes it amusing to troll you, and this is a forum full of trolls in the first place.

If you're serious about improving, join a club, be it a club hosted by a store or the club team at whatever college you're going to. The people there won't troll you - however if you act this way irl to real people they'll quickly find you annoying and refuse to communicate with you.

If you're going to play the 'social anxiety' card, a) are you actually diagnosed with it? Seems like you only say it because somebody online said you might have it, and you're just using it as an excuse to shut down advice. b) if you do have it, you're mentally ill and you need help with your mental health before you need help with running.

I've run in Cumulus for 15 years but recently made a switch to the Asics Gel Nimbus. The Nimbus is more expensive than the Cumulus, but it has more cushioning and just feels more solid. I don't know if it's in my head, but I feel like the Cumulus have been getting worse in recent years, not as much cushioning and durability.

It’s a good shoe, and you needed new shoes anyway. Nobody on this board can tell you if it’s a good shoe for you though. Did you try running on a treadmill in them at the store?

They fit you out, right? Now, here's the good thing, if the shoes work well for you, you don't have to buy from them every time after - now you can buy them online. Furthermore, you can buy last year's version, which will be cheaper. I wear the Gel Cumulus too!

I couldn't tell how good it feels like. All shoes feel the same to me.

Dude, they're shoes. Some you'll like, some you won't, either way you can wear them for a few hundred miles then get a new pair.

Find one you like more than the others and that's your go-to shoe, then you can buy last season's version for half price on Amazon.

For god's sake, it's not that complicated.

Are you still running mileage in your yard? If so then you probably wouldn't notice a difference, but you might if you run on the roads.

Then what was the point of everyone telling me to dump my Nike Revolution 4 and buy new shoes?

Because no matter how many times you argue that they are "running shoes", they aren't suitable for any committed running.

The term "running shoe" is extremely broad. It's basically any shoe that somebody can exercise in at bare minimum level and commitment. Sure, you can run in those Nike Revolutions if you're running 20 minutes a day 3 days a week, and if a guy who's running on a treadmill at the end of their gym session (just to say they do cardio) is wearing them I'm not going to tell them that the shoes suck, but for somebody who is actually committed to running, there's far better options.

So are my new shoes good?

if you did go to a running store a got fitted they are likely going to be a lot better than what you had before.

truly only time will tell but now is the time to figure out your training
