A couple of questions:
1. Has anyone used these shoes? If so, what are your opinions about the performance?
2. How do they run in sizing? I wear an 8.5-9 in Asics, 9 in Brooks, 8.5 for XC.
3. Apparently they are being/already discontinued. Anyone know what is replacing them?
Thanks!
On a seperate note, anyone have any experience with the Asics Hyperspeed 2?
Ohana's were the best shoe I ever had. Somewhere between a lightweight trainer and a racing flat. My hyperspeeds feel much less supportive.
The Bandito was introduced when the Ds racer and the Ohana racer were axed. It's pretty much a hybrid of the two.
1. I've got a pair and love them for races up to half marathon. I wouldn't use them for a marathon though as I need a bit more support, they are very light with basically no support.
2. I wear size 12's in just about everything including the Ohana's
3. No idea
I thought the Bandito might have been the replacement; but unfortunately it has a medial post. It being a hybrid of the Ohana and DS Racer would seem to explain that, although it never makes sense to me when shoe companies do that.
I have used the Ohanas for races from 15K to marathon. I feel they are a good racer with more support than something like the Brooks T4 or T5, and far more support than the nike Lunar racers.
I wear a size 10 in brooks, nike and Asics.
I do agree with earlier mentioned posts of teh Ohana being replaced by the Bandito, albeit with a medial post.
