In reply to Ken. Finishing up miles on the Brooks Launch, then maybe I'll tackle the Strada next. Sorry for the delay, Launch is the first road shoe I've run in since early January and couldn't wait to put miles on it :)

Hi Pete, do you have an ETA on when you might have the full review ready? I know you are fighting bad weather. It’s hard to find anyone with any details on the shoe and it’s characteristics.

In reply to Berto. I'd probably put the Strada in between the Ride and the Ultra, it's a pretty built-up shoe.

In reply to Ken.

I would love that.. But that isn´t what Pete said:

He said:
“Strada has a slightly narrower fit (than GRR)”

And:
“Think of the GRR4 as a GoRun+ lightweight trainer, and the Strada as a performance training shoe made to Meb’s needs. The Strada is a bit snugger, stiffer, etc.”

Not for me… :(

In reply to Berto.

I hope not. From what I read/heard on another site, the stack is 5-6mm higher than GRR or GR.

My hope is:
GR Speed
GR
GR Ride
GR Strada
GR Ultra

So, from less cushion (and less roomy and more “speed”) to maximum cushion there would be:

GR Speed
GR Strada
GR “normal”
GR Ride
GR Ultra

Isn’t it?

In reply to Ken. They made a late change to the naming - it is the GoRun Strada, I was incorrect in the post due to my most recent pair having the GoMeb moniker.

So, call me confused. Just saw a video short review on Runners World and they are calling it a GoRun Strada. Also, Believe In the Run review shows it as GoRun. Yours is clearly GoMeb. Is there a difference between GoRun Strada and GoMeb Strada or have they just not decided what to call it?

In reply to Ken. I was going to say that the roads here in Cincinnati are cold but dry, too.

In reply to Peter Larson. Send'em down to Texas. I'll run in them for you. ;-)

In reply to Ken. My production pair just arrived yesterday. Unfortunately we are buried in snow right now so may have to resort to some treadmill miles to get the review done.

Pete, can you give us an ETA on the full review? Inquiring minds want to know.
