Shoe Choice
Help with new shoe choice. I have been running in the Topo Mt4 shoes for a while as well as my vivo barefoot tracker FG's for shorter distances. I would like to upgrade the Topos as they are quite cooked now. I am in between these
-Topo Terraventure 5
I would like to get the 4 on sale but I don't like the ortho lite insole that they used to use maybe new one is better? Only thing drawing me away from Topo is the Toe spring/Rocker is a bit much.
-Norda 001a (can get 25%off from a friend who works at the shop)
Only thing drawing me away is heel collar has no padding?! and the 5 mm drop would rather 0 drop if I could. But they are comfy and the heel didnt bother me in the store.
-Altra Lone peak 9+
Drawbacks are of course durability. They also feel a bit higher volume in the midfoot for me.
-Altra Superior
Drawback, no vibram sole and durability low
