I’m a collegiate runner who has had some trouble with injuries and I think the carbon plated shoes I trained in 2-3 workouts a week was part of the issue.
Looking for a nonplated alternative so I don’t need to rip in vomeros. drop any recommendations below please 🙏
puma propio nitro for track work - its like a track flat or a 5k/10k road shoe
mizuno duel sonic 3 or 4 might work too - but you'll have to buy them from japan using ebay or something. Duel sonic 3 is like a light trainer or marathon racer. Duel sonic 4 is more of a minimal racing flat, but still more cushioning than the propio nitro
you can still get streak lts and streak 6/7 on ebay in some sizes if those seem too minimal

Old school feel (relatively firm) ASICS Hyper Speed
Saucony Kinvara
More race feel (super light) Adios 9
This is an interesting question since most workout shoes are now plated and a shoe like the rebel, while versatile, feels too soft as a pure workout shoe.

Streak 6 or Streak XC 2 would also be viable, but the glue might be getting a bit old on those by this point.
New Balance Pvlse if you can find them. Feels like an improved version of the popular shoes around 2015. I really hope this one isn’t permanently discontinued.

ironically there is a pair of size 11 streak xc 1 on ebay right now, and from experience the glue holding those together might hold up, though now they'd be older than the last time I had a pair a couple years ago. The streak xc 2 will almost certainly fall apart within a couple runs. Source: experience.

Unfortunately, it looks to be. Closest replacement is probably the propio nitro.
