Keywords

💡Tier List

A tier list is a ranking system used to categorize items, often in games or products, into different levels of quality or effectiveness. In the context of this video, it refers to the categorization of daily trainers (running shoes) into various tiers based on the host's personal experience and preferences. The script mentions six tiers, ranging from 'Got Tier' to 'Is it even a daily trainer?', indicating a spectrum of quality from the most classic and highly regarded to those that may not be suitable for the category at all.

💡Daily Trainers

Daily trainers are a category of running shoes designed for regular use, offering a balance of comfort, support, and durability for daily running activities. They are not specialized for racing or specific types of training but are versatile for various running conditions. The video's theme revolves around ranking different daily trainers, as indicated by the host's discussion of various shoe models and their suitability for daily use.

💡Altra

Altra is a brand of running shoes known for its unique design features, such as a wide toe box and zero-drop construction. In the script, Altra is mentioned as the manufacturer of the 'Ultra Via Olympus' and 'Altra Nova Blast,' which are two models being evaluated in the tier list. The host's experience with these shoes is used to place them within the ranking system.

💡Cushioning

Cushioning refers to the padding or soft materials in running shoes designed to absorb shock and provide comfort during running. The term is central to the video's discussion of shoe performance, as the host evaluates the level of cushioning in various models, such as the 'Hoka Skyward X' with its 'bottomless cushion' and the 'Nike Invincible 3' which is criticized for being too soft.

💡Lockdown

Lockdown in the context of running shoes refers to the secure fit around the heel and midfoot, preventing slippage and providing stability. The script mentions 'lockdown' as a negative aspect of the 'Nike Invincible 3,' where the host experienced heel slippage, indicating that a proper lockdown is essential for a shoe's performance and runner's safety.

💡Bounce

Bounce describes the energy return or springiness of a shoe's midsole material, which can enhance running performance by propelling the runner forward. The term is used in the script to describe the feel of certain shoes, such as the 'New Balance 1080 v13,' which the host praises for its reliable daily trainer qualities including some energy return or bounce.

💡Squeakiness

Squeakiness refers to the squeaky sound that some running shoes may produce during use, which can be a sign of material friction or construction issues. In the script, the host mentions the 'On Cloud Surfer 7' having a squeaky midsole, which is a drawback despite the positive aspects of the shoe's new technology.

💡Rocker

A rocker is a design feature in some running shoes that curves the sole to facilitate a smooth roll from heel to toe, promoting a natural running motion. The 'Brooks Ghost Max' is described as 'super rockered' in the forefoot, which helps the runner move forward with less effort, illustrating the role of rocker design in enhancing running efficiency.

💡Stack Height

Stack height measures the vertical distance between the outsole and insole of a shoe, often associated with the thickness of the midsole. It is mentioned in the context of the 'Hoka Skyward X,' which has a 48 mm stack height in the heel, indicating a high level of cushioning. The term is relevant to the video's discussion of shoe comfort and performance.

💡Sustainability

Sustainability in the context of the video refers to the environmentally friendly practices of shoe manufacturers, such as using recyclable materials and promoting a circular economy. The host acknowledges the French brand 'Veja' for its sustainable approach, indicating a growing consumer interest in the ethical production of running shoes.

play00:00

a few weeks ago we ranked raise their

play00:01

shoes in a teist video that I think you

play00:03

enjoyed and today we do the same for

play00:05

daily trainers let's

play00:07

go hey everyone and welcome back on the

play00:09

channel my name is Alex and in today's

play00:11

video we have the tier list for early

play00:12

2024 for daily trainers I'm going to

play00:15

give you the rules once more it's very

play00:16

simple we have six tiers the first one

play00:19

is got tier very classic for many tier

play00:21

lists uh the second one is home run very

play00:24

very good shoes but that didn't make it

play00:26

to the got tier category um then we have

play00:30

High also very solid shoes then we have

play00:33

runnable runnable is shoes that you can

play00:35

run in without any any fancy stuff

play00:37

without any any highs any lows um just

play00:40

decent shoes um then we have boring

play00:43

boring is in the title boring shoes and

play00:46

then we have the last one um is it even

play00:48

a daily trainer meaning I'm not so

play00:51

convinced this shoe belongs even um IND

play00:54

theist how did we pick the shoes well

play00:56

essentially the first criteria is that I

play00:58

ran a significant amount of km in each

play01:00

of them significant means anything above

play01:03

35 40 50 km depending on the shoes but

play01:06

that's the range at which I'm

play01:08

comfortable to have an opinion about a

play01:09

product some of them I took Way Beyond

play01:12

that number of kilometers just because I

play01:13

like the shoes and it's a good sign very

play01:15

often it's the shoes that will be at the

play01:17

top of this list the shoes have to be

play01:19

available on the market today so some of

play01:21

them we took the previous versions

play01:23

because either I didn't run enough in

play01:24

the new version or I simply believe that

play01:27

the old version is still very relevant

play01:29

for this video video last but not least

play01:31

this is daily trainers so you will be

play01:32

missing some shoes that uh will come

play01:34

either in the uptempo category or will

play01:37

simply never be in a tier list because

play01:39

we don't think they fit either because

play01:41

they have logs and they're like a

play01:42

traction or traal version of a daily

play01:44

trainer we took the simple daily trainer

play01:46

for that um like the Nova blast Nova

play01:48

blast is here with the Nova blast 4 and

play01:50

not the TR traction version so we tried

play01:53

to segment things daily trainers uptempo

play01:56

and then rise day we have the theories

play01:57

for daily trainers today you will have

play01:59

the Up Tempo one coming soon let's get

play02:01

into this video with the Adidas

play02:03

Supernova rise which I believe is a good

play02:06

shoe the new D strike foam is a good

play02:08

foam and I think this shoe deserves a

play02:12

runner tie so the third category on this

play02:15

on this list that's where it belongs I

play02:17

think it's a good price point as well

play02:19

helping it to be a bit higher then we

play02:20

have the Adidas Ultra boost light also

play02:23

called Ultra boost 23 uh this shoe is

play02:26

really not a good shoe for me for

play02:28

running at least it's a lifestyle shoe

play02:30

it's a maybe training shoe but not a

play02:32

good running shoe and therefore it goes

play02:34

in the last tier is that even a daily

play02:37

trainer moving on to ultra we have the

play02:39

forward experience this is a shoe that

play02:40

released last year in October of 2023 I

play02:43

actually quite enjoyed it I thought it

play02:44

was a nice shoe to run in a bit

play02:46

different from all the other alra shoes

play02:48

and therefore it goes in the third tier

play02:51

this is runner's high actually had some

play02:52

good time with this shoe and I do

play02:54

recommend it um so yeah that's where it

play02:56

goes Ultra via Olympus uh this is the

play02:59

first version I did did not run in the

play03:00

second version and this is the other

play03:01

daily trainer that I tried from Altra

play03:04

it's quite a high one in terms of Stack

play03:05

Heights uh you have some cushion on foot

play03:07

I didn't enjoy the ride I thought the

play03:09

shoe was clumsy was um quite heavy and

play03:12

therefore it goes in the last tier is

play03:14

that even a daily trainer ax Jael Nimbus

play03:17

25 I'm not going for version 26 that

play03:20

released um earlier this year in January

play03:23

I simply do not have enough mileage on

play03:25

on this version I'm going to go with

play03:26

version 25 but the two version are very

play03:28

close in version 26 is only a minor

play03:30

upgrade compared to version 25 this for

play03:32

me is a very very good shoe a bit too

play03:34

soft for my liking personally again you

play03:36

know this video is really about my uh

play03:39

ranking and not about everyone's ranking

play03:41

or like a general Trend I think it's a

play03:43

bit too soft to me and that's why it

play03:44

goes in the second tier home run very

play03:46

very solid shoe and it belongs in the

play03:48

highest tiers of this list it's not a a

play03:50

got tier simply because of that caveat

play03:52

for my personal preferences but

play03:54

nevertheless good job ax ASX Nova blast

play03:57

4 we included it in this category

play03:59

because we believe that uh it can be a

play04:01

daily trainer it can also be in the

play04:03

uptempo category um but hey this is this

play04:06

is our call and uh and I see it working

play04:09

very well for people as a daily trainer

play04:11

this is a shoe that for me was uh great

play04:13

for version two um also very good for

play04:16

version three a bit less so for version

play04:18

4 it still sh Angel running in and

play04:21

therefore it gets a um runers high in

play04:24

this video Brooks Glycerin 21 the

play04:27

glycerine is a is a special shoe it has

play04:29

a very long history with Brooks many

play04:31

people like it as a daily trainer as a

play04:32

Workhorse and I surprise myself liking

play04:35

it so much it's just that reliable shoe

play04:37

you can take out day in day out go lock

play04:40

some miles it's never going to

play04:41

disappoint you it doesn't have anything

play04:43

fancy and that's why it's missing the

play04:45

the top tier but for me it's a home run

play04:47

Brooks ghost Max this is a shoe that has

play04:50

something a bit special about it it is

play04:52

uh super rockered in the forefoot quite

play04:55

stiff it's one of these shoes that uh

play04:57

really help you move forward without too

play04:58

much effort it's it's a run is high for

play05:00

me nothing too fancy nothing too bad

play05:02

about it I was about giving it a

play05:04

runnable category number four but in the

play05:07

end I think I had some good time in it

play05:09

and it deserves that run as high title

play05:12

dedora cellula this is Dora's kind of

play05:14

entry level daily trainer they also have

play05:16

the v7000 v7000 2 made in Italy these

play05:20

are different and I'm not going to rate

play05:21

them in this video simply because I

play05:22

don't have enough mileage in them on the

play05:24

ca however I'm comfortable giving it a

play05:27

runnable category nothing too fancy

play05:29

nothing bad at the same time it's a

play05:31

solid shoe but I didn't find it being

play05:35

you know special enough to get in the

play05:36

higher tiers hooka Clifton 9 I have a

play05:39

very special version of this shoe it's a

play05:40

collab with satisfy but nevertheless

play05:42

it's a Clifton 9 I took this shoe mostly

play05:44

as a lifestyle shoe and I I traveled

play05:47

with it but I also ran in it and from my

play05:49

experience it's a boring shoe I know

play05:50

it's a very popular shoe the Clifton is

play05:52

something many people tend to try first

play05:55

when they move to hok when they want to

play05:56

try a hokea shoe in their rotation they

play05:58

go for the Clifton as as a daily trainer

play06:00

nothing wrong about it but it's it's

play06:02

boring for me hok Skyward X this is a

play06:04

shoe we reviewed very recently on the

play06:06

channel it's that monster with 48 mm of

play06:08

Stack height in the heel and I just like

play06:11

it I can't can't explain because it it's

play06:13

super high it's super maximized it's

play06:15

super heavy but I just like it it's

play06:17

providing me with that bottomless

play06:19

cushion that endless feeling of having a

play06:21

soft foam on the foot a bit of PE a bit

play06:23

of super critical foam and that plate in

play06:26

between I'm going to give it a good tier

play06:28

category I just think it's it's great

play06:30

kepron KS 900. 2 this is kyron's latest

play06:33

Max cushion shoe in the daily trainer

play06:35

range kind of Premium 140 uh for kepron

play06:39

which is on the on the pricier side of

play06:40

things for that brand it's not a bad

play06:42

shoe it's not a great shoe it's just

play06:44

runnable um I had some good time in it

play06:46

in Kenya earlier this year and my shoe

play06:48

is completely Orange from that Kenya

play06:50

experience I like it because I have good

play06:52

memories in it but it's not anything too

play06:54

fancy so I'm just going to give it a

play06:56

runnable category Mizuno Neo Vista I'm

play06:58

not sure to views out when you're

play07:00

watching this video so this is a good

play07:02

hint also at how good this shoe is it's

play07:04

very soft and I surprise myself liking

play07:06

it so much for a shoe that is super soft

play07:08

and super plush but it has that plate

play07:10

that changes everything it helps reduce

play07:12

a bit the mushiness and the plushness of

play07:14

the shoe and make it a bit more Snappy a

play07:16

bit more energetic I can take this shoe

play07:18

to higher Paces if I want to it could

play07:20

almost fall into the uptempo category

play07:22

like the super blast but for me it's a

play07:24

daily trainer it's a very good one and

play07:26

I'm going to give it a god tier New

play07:27

Balance 1080 v13

play07:30

this was one of my big big crushes at

play07:33

the end of last year around the New York

play07:35

Marathon I trained a lot in the shoe I

play07:37

am still using it once every two weeks

play07:39

just because I like it I don't need to

play07:41

run it I don't need to review it anymore

play07:43

but I like it in my rotation as a

play07:45

reliable daily trainer that has some

play07:47

energy return a bit of Bounce not too

play07:48

much a good fit the only drawback is

play07:50

maybe the out on durability and even

play07:53

after quite some mileage in this shoe I

play07:55

don't see too much wear on my so it's

play07:57

really debatable and I'm not going to

play07:58

take it as a a drawback this is a got

play08:00

tier shoe for me for sure New Balance

play08:02

more V4 the max cushion shoe from New

play08:05

Balance super wi platform as well and

play08:08

something that is very very pleasant if

play08:11

you're looking for that shoe to take out

play08:12

and worry about nothing it goes

play08:15

everywhere it works on every surface and

play08:17

it offers you quite some cushion I like

play08:19

the shoe but it's a bit too wide for me

play08:21

it's a bit too clunky for me it doesn't

play08:22

provide any special energy return or

play08:24

bounce with that fresh foam foam the new

play08:27

version V5 coming out later this year

play08:28

should be quite exting though so stay

play08:30

tuned for this one but V4 for me is only

play08:33

runnable Nike Invincible 3 and I know

play08:35

this is going to be controversial

play08:36

because the Invincible is a very popular

play08:38

shoe for me the lockdown is a huge issue

play08:40

in the heel I never figured the lockdown

play08:41

in the heel I have some slipage I have

play08:43

some movements and I hate it for that I

play08:45

like the Mido compound but I think it's

play08:47

also a bit dangerous for runners coming

play08:49

to running after some injury or after

play08:52

just discovering running from coming

play08:54

from a totally different sport it's a

play08:55

shoe that is quite unstable in the heel

play08:57

and many people do not notice it because

play08:59

they just just focus on how cushy it is

play09:01

and it is very comfortable very

play09:02

cushioned but it's also quite unstable

play09:04

the lockdown issue is is a big issue for

play09:06

me I like the ride but I cannot take it

play09:08

too often out just because I'm afraid of

play09:10

getting injured because of it so for me

play09:12

it's only a run as high Nike Pegasus 40

play09:16

and S here I know the Pegasus is a how

play09:18

can I call it an icon for Nike and I get

play09:20

it many people like it because it's the

play09:22

affordable entry level daily trainer

play09:24

from Nike it's perfectly fine for that

play09:26

and I do recommend the peg to many

play09:28

people who want to start running or who

play09:29

want to buy a first pair of Nike just

play09:31

like the Clifton 9 or the Clifton in

play09:32

general for Hoka the Pegasus is an icon

play09:34

and something you can try as a first

play09:36

Nike shoe but it's it's boring there's

play09:39

nothing special about the peg there's

play09:40

too much ground field

play09:42

there's it's boring Nike vomero 17 to me

play09:45

the veroma is everything the peg should

play09:47

become in the future it has a bit more

play09:49

cushion it has a bit more excitement it

play09:51

has a bit more versatility and therefore

play09:53

for me the Vero is a hom rorer on cloud

play09:55

monster 2 and I need to emphasize the

play09:59

simply because the cloud monster one

play10:01

would have been a got tier category for

play10:03

me and that says a lot Cloud monster 2

play10:05

however is not the same the fit has

play10:07

changed a lot the new last is wider

play10:09

higher and I could almost go half a size

play10:12

down but then the shoe becomes too short

play10:13

for me I like the clown monster it's a

play10:16

growing icon with on but for me it's

play10:18

only a runner's high and it's losing two

play10:20

tiers compared to V1 that would have

play10:22

been a god tier that's how it is I hope

play10:24

V3 can return to the to the top level

play10:27

and be again that great Sho at I was

play10:29

enjoying so much I'm still enjoying the

play10:31

cloud monster 2 don't get me wrong but

play10:32

not as much as as V1 and that's why it's

play10:35

only in the third tier in this list on

play10:37

cloud Surfer or Cloud Surfer 7 released

play10:39

in March of 2023 with that new cloudtech

play10:42

phase midsole technology that many many

play10:44

people raved about because it's just so

play10:46

good it's designed by AI to make your

play10:48

foot uh transition smoothly from Heel To

play10:51

Toe I do like this shoe I think it's

play10:53

fascinating I think the upper is a bit

play10:55

too hot for me I find it also a bit too

play10:57

mushy but I still enjoy it there's one

play10:59

big issue and that's the squeakiness of

play11:00

the midsole that squeaky sound coming

play11:02

from many many people many many shoes at

play11:04

least with many people who have the

play11:06

cloud Surfer it's not a big issue but at

play11:08

some point in the day if you're wearing

play11:09

it as a sneaker it becomes a bit

play11:11

bothering so what's the tier category

play11:13

for the cloud Surfer it's a runnable

play11:16

category um it could be higher if we

play11:18

focus only on the on the Mito on cloud

play11:21

phase the upper is a bit of a drawback

play11:23

uh and the MEO is a bit too plush for me

play11:25

too soft for me that's why it's not any

play11:27

higher but hey there's another shoe it's

play11:29

the oncloud eclipse also coming with

play11:31

that cloud tech phas technology but it

play11:33

has that speedboard in the shoe helping

play11:36

to stabilize it and to make it a bit

play11:38

better I do prefer the cloud Eclipse

play11:40

compared to the cloud Surfer it's not

play11:41

perfect for me and that's again an issue

play11:43

with the new last and the new fit that

play11:45

on has implemented on their shoes but

play11:47

it's a bit higher compared to the cloud

play11:48

Surfer I'm going to give it a runers

play11:50

high category especially once I tried it

play11:52

half a size down um at the end of last

play11:55

year I did prefer it I did understand a

play11:58

bit better why people were like liking

play11:59

it so much compared to my initial review

play12:01

where I focused a lot on the fit so yes

play12:03

run is high for the cloud Eclipse pumat

play12:05

magnify 2 the pumat magnify was a Soo

play12:08

shoe in the first version version two

play12:10

was much better it's a home run for me

play12:12

it's that entry level shoe not too

play12:14

pricey around4 €150 you can find it also

play12:17

discounted at much lower prices but

play12:19

that's the MSRP it's soft enough but not

play12:22

too soft it has a bit of responsiveness

play12:24

with that Nitro foam it's just a good TR

play12:25

for me home run Puma velocity 3 the

play12:27

velocity 3 runs a b like the Pegasus 40

play12:30

it's a boring shoe it's in the boring

play12:32

tier for me I don't find anything fancy

play12:34

about it I almost did prefer the first

play12:36

and second versions of the Velocity the

play12:38

velocity 3 feels like a shoe that

play12:40

doesn't bring anything new anything

play12:42

great to the table and so yeah therefore

play12:44

it goes in the uh boring category for me

play12:46

Salomon AOG glid I picked the arog Glide

play12:49

it could have been also the DRX Bliss

play12:51

which is a stability isssue and we may

play12:52

also have a tier list for stability

play12:54

shoes let me know in the comments if

play12:55

that's something relevant for you AOG

play12:57

Glides is a shoe that can do many things

play12:59

um the fit isn't ideal it's a bit sloppy

play13:01

it's a bit too baggy for me and um the

play13:04

meole it's okay it's one of those meols

play13:06

where I like it because I have some some

play13:08

preferences leaning towards the firmer

play13:10

side of things and I prefer that

play13:11

dampening effect in Daily trainers at

play13:13

least compared to Too Much bounce so

play13:15

that's good for the for the arrowline

play13:17

and that's what it brings to the table

play13:18

at the same time it's not anything fancy

play13:20

anything exciting and therefore it goes

play13:22

in the runnable category for me S

play13:24

Triumph 22 the Triumph 22 brings peam

play13:27

soul to the table and yes it's a big

play13:29

Improvement however I think it could

play13:31

have been executed a bit better the shoe

play13:33

rides a bit as a as a brick to be honest

play13:35

at slower Paces once you pick up the

play13:37

pace it becomes much better but this is

play13:39

a tearless video for daily trainers and

play13:41

you're supposed to spend quite some time

play13:42

at easier Paces therefore it gets a

play13:45

runnable category for me Sak ride 17 the

play13:47

ride is a bit what the Clifton or the

play13:49

peg is for hok and Nike it's that very

play13:52

traditional trainer from saky the R 17

play13:55

is not a bad shoe but it's not a great

play13:57

shoe either and I didn't find anything

play13:59

exciting about it I think it's reliable

play14:01

and I think many people can discover

play14:02

sakon with the shoe the ride or the

play14:05

guide if you need a bit more stability

play14:06

but for me it's boring sketches Max Road

play14:08

6 sketches is not a very popular brand

play14:11

in many countries but in the US for

play14:12

instance many people like it and I did

play14:14

really enjoy the max Road 5 for some

play14:16

reason the max Road 6 didn't bring that

play14:18

same joy and that same pleasure of

play14:20

running in the shoe compared to the

play14:22

previous version I will give it a boring

play14:24

category it could have been runnable but

play14:25

for me it's boring and I hope to see

play14:28

more excitement coming from the max Road

play14:29

7 because I did really enjoy version 5

play14:32

yeah it's a shoe that is really

play14:33

different quite affordable as many

play14:35

Sketcher shoes and um I hope it it

play14:39

climbs up into the tier list in the next

play14:40

version of this video last but not least

play14:42

V Condor 3 V is a French brand that

play14:45

produces many of their shoes and other

play14:46

products in Brazil with a very nice

play14:48

approach about um circular economy

play14:51

recyclable materials and sustainability

play14:54

in general I think it's nice steps going

play14:56

in the right direction and I would like

play14:57

to see more Brands going in that

play14:58

direction I have to give credit to vea

play15:00

for that the Conor 3 however is simply a

play15:03

good shoe it's nothing fancy it's not in

play15:05

the best categories of this video it's

play15:07

not boring either because I think for

play15:09

the materials it features it's on the

play15:11

very good side of things and I was

play15:12

expecting something way worse so for me

play15:14

it's going to be a runnable shoot that's

play15:16

it for today guys I hope you enjoyed

play15:17

this daily trainer tier lless video I

play15:19

play15:21

play15:23

play15:24
