Don’t have the Motion yet, but I’d now like to give it a try.

The instinct seems to be a bit firm for me (still transitioning), and the GS seems to have too much heel material (although I would probably trust them for longer distances). Would the feel of the Gazelle be closer to the Altra’s, or even less shoe than that? I’m looking for a balance between minimal and neutral. I thought Altra would fit the bill, but perhaps I’m still adjusting (sore calves still). I’m excited about the possibilities here, as I’ve run in the Adidas ClimaCool Chill before, and thought it was a great shoe for me. Oh, and ultimately, I’m looking for a shoe that could possibly go 26.2, or act as a marathon trainer.

No problems with mine, but I generally don’t get enough miles on a single pair of shoes to comment on long term durability.

I know this is an old article… but thought it might be the bast place to ask –> on your Facebook you posted once a picture of your Gazelle 2, do you plan on writing on article ? What are the improvements on the 2 ? Liked the 1 but would get some blisters in them so if the 2 are better in the area I’m definitely interested ;-) . Thanks !

Wow, that gait is my goal! Thanks!

Would you run a half marathon in these?

Interesting, thanks. Have you tried running in them with socks at all? I think I did one run in them with socks. But, like I said, this was by far the furthest I ran in them. I have a nine and 18 to do this weekend and are debating whether to wear them for the nine.

As Brian mentions, Adidas Aus aren’t bringing these in, so I can’t try before buying.

is it possible to compare it with the Hagio (how fast both can be, their traction and possibility of running bigger distances)?
Running Warehouse is selling both in a similar orange color (i think so!), but the hagio is in liquidation.
Thanks and have a nice weekend!

The upper section(stretchy part) seems like it can tear very easily.

I am debating between the gazelles and 4.0 v2.
Thanks
