Anyone given these a run? Thoughts?
been waiting to hear how these are!
I’m curious about these as well. Kofuzi liked them but it would be hoo to hear from some more competitive runners.
I personally am still wearing the Vomero 14’s and I have another pair after my current ones are done so I won’t get to test for a while but a college runner for Villanova described them as peg turbos but more stable. Pretty interesting.
I just ordered a pair. Will update thread when I get them.

Hello, friend! Are you trying to steer people away with a Konfuzi endorsement?
Got them about a week ago and ran in them for the first time yesterday (was on a brief hiatus for 2 weeks or so).
Initial impression is I really like the shoe and could see myself logging a lot of miles in them. Feels very different than older models. The initial impression was much like putting on the invincibles for the first time. They really hug your feet in a non restrictive manner. Feel quite plush but not too bulky. A little more plush than the infinity reacts a little less than the invincibles.
I only took them out for 5 very easy and am admittedly just getting back into things but really liked the ride. The invincibles messed up my knees. I think the zoomx without the plate was just too little structure for me. No such problem here. Conversely I like the infinities but didn't really enjoy putting them in like these shoes. Felt like I could comfortably take these up to marathon pace but probably not much beyond that. They feel very sturdy but verdict is out for a few hundred miles still.
Perfect shoe for recovery and general aerobic days (as they should be given they are vomeros).

Not at all. I’m a big Kofuzi fan. The problem is a lot of his runs are 8 to 9 minute pace. I typically run faster so I wanted to see if faster runners are liking this shoe as well.

I am not a particularly "competitive" runner so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The above mentioned 5 miler was 7:50 pace. Most of my easy days when in shape are 7:00-7:30. "Marathon pace" is 5:40-6:00 pace. That kind of stuff.
Are they actually less cushioned than the current Pegasus?

Kofuzi like it, so I would wait till others try it.
I’ve put about 100 miles on them over the last couple weeks. They are definitely the superior daily trainer to the peg 38 but still not perfect. Responsive enough to do mile repeats on the grass at 5:10 pace but also soft enough for easy runs on the concrete over all good shoe but I didn’t run in previous iterations so it’s hard for me to compare them
