The Running Thread --2025

I’m considering finally getting Shokz as my AirPods are getting sweatier and sweatier during my long runs. But I’m worried about comfort since I wear a visor and sunglasses. Does anyone else wear a hat/visor and sunglasses with Shokz and how is the comfort level?

Never had a problem and I always wear a visor and sunglasses. It's more of a problem in winter with my fleece hat but I make it work. I love my Shokz!

Microspikes make packed snow runnable, but you'll be slower than usual.

I do have spikes, but I don't choose to run in the snow anymore unless it's light, fluffy snow. The hard packed stuff is just too hard/unstable on my ankles.

Brooks rD shoes are up online! The weekend designs are EXTREMELY limited sizes -- I think these are legit the leftovers from the expo. I thought I'd pick up the purple ones for park wear, but nothing even close to my size is available.

I have Shokz Open Run Pro 2's, the regular size. It's possible, though I don't think likely, that I should've gotten the smaller size.

When I wear a hat it actually helps the Shokz stay on better because I wedge the part of the Shokz behind my ears onto the back part of the hat that you adjust for the hat size. The slight change of angle of the Shokz makes the sound better / louder. This only really matters if there's a lot of external noise.
