I have seen people run marathon PBs in Pegasus Turbo and boast that they haven't used any cheat shoes (they are half and half with the ZoomX foam and something less boingy, I call them PT 2%)
Streakfly above sounds/looks like a 3% shoe off the info above.
There was a time when I was sceptical that any shoe was actually significantly faster than the others.
I did some trawling through London Marathon data at the reasonably sharp end (top 100/200/500 etc) and can now see the Adidas Boost probably had an impact on times soon after Kimetto's sub 2:03 WR in Berlin, but not on the same scale as VF
I miss the Peg Turbo, really enjoyed those for training in once I'd taken the scissors to that ridiculously high heel cup (that really hurt my Achilles). Endorphin Speed is what I've settled on as a replacement but I don't find them quite as nice.
The streakfly looks really nice though, will be looking to give them a try for sure. Maybe they'll be available by the time that my local, all-grass parkrun has dried up a bit!
Alphaflys are rubbish on grass races. I found out the hard way :-(. Wasn't my fault, track was frozen, so we had to run inside on the grass and soft sand.
