Shoe Review: My running shoe update

I have purchased three pairs of shoes since the last review in 2012. These are the Adidas Boost Supernova, the Brooks Rivenna 4, and the Brooks Ghost 6.

The oldest shoe is the Adidas Boost Supernova. This is made from expanded TPU that my employer BASF makes.  This is a light shoe at 300 grams, and it is touted as having excellent "energy return." Meaning that the sole elastically returns energy to the running. When you are in the shoe, it feels like it has a better grip on the street. It is a light-weight shoe so the foot protection is not that great.

A pretty nice shoe, but I don't wear it much. I have had sore feet and need more protections.

On the bottom you can see the little balls that make up the shoe sole. I don't know why the sole n the bottom you can see the little balls that make up the shoe sole. I don't know why the sole is sn the bottom you can see the little balls that make up the shoe sole. I don't know why the sole is staining yellow.

This is the Brook Ghost 6. It is 345 g (for one shoe) and has high foot protection. It is my newest shoe, and it does a nice job. 

 Here you can see the bottom, and the "gel" in the sole.

This is the Brook Rivenna 4. It is stiffer than the Ghost with less protection, and it is heavier at 407g per shoe.

It is an OK shoe, and I still wear it once in a while.
