But your Tempo% on the other thread have done 114km.
My 4% have done 90km.
I doubt me running another 24km in them will result in them looking like yours!
(We are pretty much the same height and weight, too. With similar PBs)
@Matthew_Spooner looks like a heel striker who rolls onto his forefoot from the wear. Or he’s done a shed ton of downhill running in them.
You can still see the pattern on the black tread of my orange ones.
@mw22 - very funny

WOW 
They have zero pronation!
Where’s the wear to the inside or outside of the forefoot?
What’s the heel looking like?
Do you do single leg raises and stuff?
A BIG FAT NOPE!
I’ll dig out some of my newer ones in a bit, see if they looks the same. Those were just down by the back door and used a good few gears ago. Peg 33s, so I guess 3/4 years ago when I wasn’t an old wreck!
I tend to get wear on the inside of the heel, but that’s from steeper descending and walking more than running as I don’t strike my heel when running on the flat.
Edit - sorry that should read outside of the heel.

I asked because I’ve a weak ass (glutes)
It caused my hamstring (?) to pop out at the back of my knee once (just that cartilage bony protrusion thing - bloody kills!)
After a few physio visits, I was told doing single leg squats (on a balance board) whilst trying to keep my knee tracked over the foot, was the best way to avoid the foot pronating so aggressively…
…which is what they believed caused the issue with my hamstring.
I tried to do a few the other day - my knee ends up in a different postcode 
I get a lot of hip problems that often slip down to calves and soleus. All stem from a weak ass ass as well. Apparently I over muscle with my quads and calves instead of engaging the glutes.
Yet in my prime wisdom I do nothing about it! 
And another on where you lie on your side and just lift your leg.
On your back and lift them.
Then some stuff on a gym ball, which I cannot remember.
I do remember being god awful at it when I started, then like some Zen master about six weeks later 
Yeah, the times i acyually bothered i.e. injury rehab, it was amazing how quickly i improved. i was doing clams with the bands, donkey kicks, drops on the stairs, squats with the heels really rooted into the ground forcing the glutes (i actually did a few of these the other day, and after my 30 day yoga program, i was much more stable in the feet and thus driving from the glutes) etc etc
These are my peg 36s, that I just ran in. Coming up to 600kms on these since I bought them last spring. Wouldn’t normally last that long, but haven’t been running much this past 12 months as you know.
Barely any wear beyond that patch in the mid/forefoot and a tiny bit on the outside of my heel.

Yeah but don’t you weigh about the same as a 9 year old girl?

Where from? Can’t see any on Nike.com
A local auction site in Switzerland. Looks like a sports shoe shop that is closing down

So that’ll be £2,418 for the UK?
Once the shop has filled in 79 pages of paperwork to export the shoes, added duty etc etc 
Has anyone on here tried the Hyperion Elite 2. Supposedly give matching the Nike Next% a decent go. I can get some for £110 with a discount code I have but not sure if it’s worth it.

So…I was also contemplating them as like you could’ve got some around that price.
But, the reviews all seem to say
“These are very good compared to all other trainers, excluding the Nikes”
Basically, if you’ve ran in % there ain’t no going back
Haha. I’m 72kgs on a 173cm frame. So I’m actually quite ‘heavy’ for my size.
True heavyweight there
