now i would buy another pair of these if they made them again…
Pretty sure every bearded bookend in Hackney would be banging down your door for a pair of those
best tri shoes ever…
Did you use those with your Thompson Timeless Transition pedals?!
Pre dates those…i think…
Next% went back on Friday at 1520, via the Royal Mail returns label.
Got the email confirming my refund yesterday at 1940.
That’s pretty much two working days
I’m now looking forwards to trying out the Peg Turbo 36
Mine come tomorrow
Did you send the Next% back for an exchange?
Nah.
I like the Next.
Just want a reasonably cushioned training shoe for my marathon training
What mileage do you expect from the ZoomX foam in the Pegasus?
Did a 15k tempo run on Friday wearing Next% and 15k tempo run last night with 4%
Overall ran at 4:25m/km @ 158bpm with Next % and 4:28/km @ 161bpm with 4% - suggesting that the Next% are a little quicker, but not by a lot and difference could well be other factors, even though temp was the same.
Strangely, the 4% felt faster, the lack of support makes you feel like you are running fast, while the Next % feel more normal, it is when you look at your watch that you realize that you are running faster than normal
I thought that was Beetroot initially. You know, for the extra GAINZZZZZ
Pegasus Zooms arrived today…and will be going back straight away.
These shoes are BIG
Might need a half size down at least
OH FUCK
I used my fly’s at a local 5k last night and managed to just about get a PB despite limited run specific training. 18:51, I appreciate that’s fairly slow compared to some of you on here.
I think they probably contributed 15-20 seconds worth of that, it was also a breezy night although being loops you did get it slightly over your shoulder on the back half.
Although, as before stability on the hairpin turns at the heel was a bit iffy, but I’ve probably got them a bit too slack

What is the drop on the Next%, please?
and can anyone who has a pair please post some images on what is going on with the heel arrangement?
It’s 8mm now. Down from the 4% 11mm.
They don’t feel like you’re teetering on the edge anymore.
Mine have gone back now, but the heel thing are like a little pad that hugs your Achilles. It’s pretty good and I never noticed it was there, but might have done had it not been. If that makes sense?
ALSO
The Peg Zoom Turbo’s are HUGE!
Plenty of room for Finger Toe.
I ordered an 11, if I had normal feet a 10 would be bang on, but I’ll need a 10.5.
I’m going to have a few runs in them (got a 50 mile next week) and send them back for something else
Thanks - I am not sure how 11mm can be 4% across the range…
I am not keen on anything hugging my worn out Achilles…I may have to follow your lead and do a buy and return…
Cheers
No! You misunderstand.
The shoe “Vaporfly 4%” had an 11mm drop.
The shoe “Next%” has an 8mm drop.
I am unsure if this is scaled down for smaller feet.
Their returns process is awesome.
It’s super easy - they provide a label and the delivery box has a sticky strip to re-use that, too.
Drop off at Post-Office, Collect+ or get DPD to come to you
