Tempo Running shoe for >10k

I use NB Zante (there are 2 now, it's the heavier one) on the kind of stuff you're using your current shoe for. For longer workouts where that's not quite enough shoe (could call it a long run, could call it the slow end of tempo spectrum) I wear asics DynaFlyte. That's the answer from me anyway. Wore Brooks Launch before that. Enough shoe for up to 20 miles, but light compared to truly beefy and protective shoes. I didn't like the big heel-toe drop on the Launch but otherwise liked them. The DynaFlyte version 1 and 4 had a little less drop so that's where I am now.

The Boston should be plenty fast.

New Balance 1400, they're in between the Adios and Boston but more stability than either thanks to a forefoot plate. A little tight in the forefoot though, if that's what's causing your blisters.

In between the Adios and Boston as far as cushioning is what I meant to say.

I'm a fan of the zoom fly flyknit, they're cushioned enough for longer efforts while being a pretty fast shoe. They do suck in uneven trails because of the stack height, so id only use it if you're working out on road or smooth dirt / gravel paths.

You could also look at the Boston, its pretty similar to the adios but a bit more cushioned.

I wouldn't switch from the adios to the zoom fly unless you plan on wearing the vaporflies as a racing shoe

the Boston is the correct answer for OP. very similar feeling shoe but more cushioned.

Hey,

Currently I'm using my Adios 4 for my 10k Tempo runs. Problem is, after 9k my feet start to get blisters and start hurting.

I am thinking about going for 20k runs just for the experience and obviously I can't use my Adios 4 for that.

So what good running shoes are there for 10k-20k(30k) distance?

Thanks in advance

In addition to what other posters have suggested, I’d throw in the Nike Zoom Rival Fly. It’s essentially the replacement to the venerable Zoom Elite. It’s light (~220g for a US 9), decently cushioned, and plenty responsive.

If you are getting blisters the your problem isn’t the lack of padding, it’s fit.

Go to a running store and try on different pairs of shoes.

Alright so I should buy the Boston 8. Problem is I live in Europe and my Shoe Size isn't available anywhere online.

What about the Adizero Adios 5? Does anybody have experience with those? How do they compare to the Adios 4 Version?
