Comparison of the 3 Most Popular Running Shoes for Beginners – Which One Is Really Worth the Money?
After testing over 20 models, the top 3 picks for beginners are: Adidas Supernova Ease, Hoka Bondi 9, and Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41. The key question is not “which is the best,” but “which is the most suitable and worth the investment for beginners?”
1. Adidas Supernova Ease: Best Budget Choice
• Positioning: Daily running shoe, ideal for short to medium distances.
• Value: Extremely affordable initial investment, one of the most reliable specialized running shoes at this price.
• Technology: Dreamstrike+ midsole for light, flexible, and moderately responsive cushioning. Lightweight (approx. 190g for women’s size).
• Best for: Beginners with a limited budget, prioritizing comfort and lightness when starting out.

2. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41: Versatile and Durable “Workhorse”
• Positioning: All-purpose daily trainer, suitable for short runs, long runs, and light speedwork.
• Value: Highest price among the three (4,436,800₫), but justifies every penny with versatility and outstanding durability—a long-term investment.
• Technology: Upgraded ReactX Foam with dual Air Zoom units (heel and forefoot) for a “springy” feel and high energy return. Especially supports heel strikers.
• Best for: Those wanting a single shoe that does everything and plan to stick with running long-term.
Pegasus 41 is the best value for those who want a single shoe that can do everything and plan to stick with running for the long term.
3. Hoka Bondi 9: Maximum Cushioning and Protection
• Positioning: Recovery, slow long runs, or walking. Prioritizes joint safety and comfort.
• Value: Priced at 3,399,150₫, you’re investing in maximum protection. Thick cushioning (42mm stack height at heel) reduces pressure on knees and ankles.
• Technology: Dense EVA foam for a “luxurious” and stable feel. Ideal for heavier runners, those with injury history, or anyone wanting a “walking on clouds” sensation.
• Best for: Those prioritizing health and joint protection over speed—a “tank” for your feet.
Hoka Bondi 9 is the best value for those who prioritize HEALTH and JOINT PROTECTION over speed. It is like a tank that protects your feet.
Good for Seldin, a blue collar guy that always gives it his all, and a real character if there ever was one!
Don't embarrass yourself. At one time Seldin tested positive for anabolic steroid use for a second time showing an increased level of testosterone and anabolic steroid Stanozolol also known as Winstrol.

Anyone can be biased toward or against a fighter, but start learning how to appreciate all colors, cultures; people from all walks of life (Take your own advice pal)

You are a complete idiot! Seldin taking steroids has NOTHING to do with people from all walks of life, it has to do with consuming Illegal steroids! What are you, 12 years old??

So are you, don't forget to add all the rest of the guys that popped dirty like Holyfield, Roy Jones, Canelo, and the dozens of others with much bigger names than Seldin, get a life!
Another 'interim' eh? Looks at the TBRB rankings: what a surprise, neither in it. Neither has ever had a 12 rounder scheduled and Seldin's last win was over a journeyman coming off four straight losses.
Even the WBA only have them ranked #6 and #7. Did BS reach out to Mendoza to determine how this was justified?
