I just ran Boston and have been a hold-out on carbon. I looked around in wave 1 and realized that if I keep holding out I'm just sticking my head in the sand. I only saw a handful of others without carbon in my wave.
So I'm gingerly exploring...
I usually wear Kayanos for stability and have never been injured in them after running in them for 18-19 years. What's the best carbon shoe that would work well for me?
I have run in almost all carbon plated shoes on the market and the most stable are Hoka Carbon X, Brooks Hyperion Elite 2 and Adidas Adizero Pro (not the Adios Pro).

+1 for the Adizero Pro. I bought them just coz they were deeply discounted but keep wanting to run in them more than other shoes. It’s certainly more stable than the Nike Tempo Next%.
Adizero adios pro 2… super fun shoe and will not let you overpronate due to the major heel bevel.
Not the most stable shoe because of the high stack height and squishy foam.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
