#156 Mailbag! Best Beginner Carbon Plate, Boston 12 vs. Everything, Is Icing Good? and Discontinued Shoes We Want Back


Listen Later

Time for another mailbag show. You asked, and we answered. On this episode, Nathan and Matt field listener questions about shoes, biomechanics, and more. Tune in for a couple shoe comparisons: the Boston 12 against several other similar options, and the Endorphin Elite vs. the Vaporfly 3. They also take a look at stability & asymmetry in running mechanics, the latest research on icing for recovery, "beginner" carbon-plate shoes, and even more. Be sure to stick around to the end where they discuss what old running shoe lines they'd want to see resurrected.

As always, we want your questions, so be sure to leave comments on our social media or email us at [email protected]!

  • This week’s sponsor carries all of our favorite socks from Feetures and Balega to Swiftwick and Drymax. With Fall coming, we’re excited to get our long socks out for some crisp, cool days ahead. The Swiftwick Aspire Four is a team-wide favorite. Andrea Myers calls it one of the few compression socks we’ve tried that sits just right without feeling too tight. It’s a sock our team has poured thousands of combined miles in blister-free. For runners looking for a good value, the Saucony Inferno Merino Wool socks provide both warmth and super soft comfort that you’ll want to keep on long after your run. For less than $25 for a three-pack, it’s our content wizard Bach’s best kept secret to comfortable winter running. Find your next pair by visiting runningwarehouse.com today.
