Looks like the Burn 2 is finally out of stock. I've read on this forum that the Burn 3 is a completely different shoe, so I need suggestions for a replacement.
Things I liked about the Burn 2: lightweight, but still lasted longer than other lightweight shoes I've tried; never had any issues with toes going numb (which I've had with other shoes)
I'm a heavier runner (170 lbs), good mechanics. The Burns last me about 400 miles, other shoes I've tried recently only last about 250.
Thanks.
Why not try the Burn 3 and see if you like it? Order from Road Runner Sports and you can exchange it for any other shoe....I think for up to 45 days? It's worth a shot.
The Burn 3 is definitely a different shoe. I think it's got a much snugger fit and feels like the heel lift is a little greater (although I haven't actually checked). I've had several pairs of each generation of the Burn, and the 3 feels most like a racing flat. I still run in the 2 occasionally, and it feels like a trainer by comparison.
I used to wear the Burn and the Burn 2. I have not tried the Burn 3. I took a leap of faith and went for the Racer ST2. I am a heavier runner as well. I am 180 lbs.
I really like these shoes and use them for almost all of my runs. They are lighter than most light weight trainers, but they work for me. I make sure to replace them on a regular basis (300 miles or so).
I would recommend giving them a try. I was a bit nervous at first, but they have been great. I would not use them on rough trails.
Try Loco or Vitruvian shoes.
Thirty bucks is a good deal. Even if you just wear them for walking they're very comfortable.
