Half Marathon shoe advice

February 12, 2026

Buy on Supwell app

Hello fellow mileage stackers. I’m doing my first ever half marathon in April and want some input about shoe choice. My goal is to finish sub 2:30, so I am not fast by any means and my goal is to accomplish finishing the marathon rather than be a prisoner to the time to complete. I’m really thinking about not going the carbon route. Reason being that I would get hardly any utility out of it and to justify the money I’d really like to get something I can use for my long runs or tempo work. Something plated like the Deviate nitro 4, or Hoka Cielo does interest me as I could use it as more than just a race shoe. Other options I was considering are the Megablast, RAD UFO. What do you all think? I currently rotate between the Vomero plus, and OG Evo SL for all runs.
