I did briefly have a pair of the meta racers, but they felt a bit large, and they went out of stock, in the smaller size they are on the long list of shoes to try but want to try the alphafly’s first... and then probably the saucony’s

They're all great shoes and all very different flavours but after a couple of runs in each you get used to them pretty quickly. Just buy them all and rotate them that way each pair will last longer so apart from the initial outlay your annual shoe spend isn't actually any more. Although my wife calls bullshit on that theory

Thanks for the info if i find a Good deal on a pair ok carbon x's I'll grab a pair. I wanted to try them as high mileage shoe mainly so the tongue construction isn't an issue but good to know. I'm thinking endorphin pros for shorter tri/duathlons and alphaflys for half iron/half marathon. I used to be a massive altra fan as well and still have a couple of pairs but they just feel like plimsolls now in comparison to the new crop of hi tech racers. I've got a pair of metaracers as well they might suit you for a shorter distance tri shoe? Firm, fast and flat.
