have you by any chance got around to trying the Fastwitch 7? I got a pair from RW in a sale but there are a few weird things:

1. One tongue says men EU 44, the other women EU 42, shoes seem to be of equal size though. Very tight. Is there even a women’s Version of the Red/Citron colourway?
2. The Fastwitch label on the lateral side of the shoe just says Fastwitch, on Saucony’s Homepage it clearly shows Fastwitch 7.
3. I read that the Fastwitch 7 features a quite wide toebox, wider than the Kinvara e.g. which I happen to know and the Fastwitch is nowehere near als spacious. It’s much tighter than say a Nike.

Very weird, I really doubt I got the right shoes… Do you know if there are two different versions or what is up with the one that RW are selling?

Altra reports 24mm here: https://www.altrarunning.com/men/instinct-30. Not sure why the difference, might be that RW measured without the insole.

Running Warehouse has it listed at 17mm.

Lately I’ve been wearing the New Balance Zante a lot for general use, but it’s also great as a casual shoe. Also the Nike Wildhorse 2. Kinvara is a decent option but not a lot of sole durability for walking due to lack of rubber coverage.

What shoe of these do you find to be good all around (for biking/walking) after a run? I want sometihng in that real – maybe the Kinvaras?

Is the sole on the Under Armour Speedform RC Vent the same as the Apollo and/or the original Speedform shoe? I’m intrigued by how light the shoe is, and the stack heights and offset seem to be in line with the Kinvara and Go Run 3/4. I like a flexible shoe, and the only reviews I’ve ever read on the UA Speedform shoes are contradictory – some say the sole is very stiff and firm; others say the sole is soft and flexible. Can anyone comment? The sole reminds me a little bit of the way the Brooks Green Silence and Mizuno Evo Cursoris soles *looked*… I didn’t like either of those shoes at all. I just don’t want to drop $100+ on a chance that I don’t like them at all.

Agree here also. I’d put Lunartempo more on the Lunaracer side of the scale than the Lunarglide but they will definitely bump my Lunarglides into the donation bin. More comfortable ride and upper. I didn’t notice the 8mm heel drop vs the 4mm on the Hoka Clifton, a shoe I also love. I’d compare the cushioning feel to the Hoka Huaka, but the Lunartempos are more than 2 ounces lighter at an astounding 8.9 ounces for a size 14 and the upper fits better. At 6-foot-3 and 175 pounds, I usually save the Lunaracers for a rubberized track and race day, but I will run the Lunartempos as a daily trainer on asphalt. Now hoping for good durability.

I agree with Jason. I just got my pair of Lunar Tempo from RW. Great feeling shoe and they run great too! They are like a mix between the Lunar Glide 6, and Lunar Racer 3,(I have both) but taking the best points of both and putting them in one shoe. Also, the NB 1500 was pretty sweet, but I like the Tempo better. Better pop when pushed, and just more comfy IMO. And the Fly wire fit of the Tempo is just awesome! For my foot, I have never had a better fit! I’m 5’7, 133lbs, med-low arch, 40 MPW, sub 20- 5K, 54 year old masters runner that has a heel/mid foot strike.
