I wonder how you guys walk with the rocker geometry and high stack. Everytime I walked to my starting point is not a thing I can get used to. But then I only wear them once or twice a week for the higher intensity workouts. Most time it's the non plated shoes.

The NB5 was a great shoe for the first couple hundred of KMs. Like you said, great for easy runs or slower pace where you just coast along. But not sure if hyperbole or what but somewhere down the line the shoe just felt totally different. The foam no longer has the "pop" and i find myself having to put in alot more effort during long runs. Did a read up online and it seems like a common sentiment among other NB5 users.

Was considering replacing the NB5 with SB2 since i am currently only have a 2 shoe rotation. But with my experience on the NB5, think i am better off going for more value for money china brands.

I also have the NB5 n SB2 and yes I also find the cushioning in the NB5 is good, I would said it's just nice and the mid sole cushioning is good whereas the SB2 is not much cushioning but it's gave you the pushing forward motion especially if you're running higher pace.

yes, i also noticed the stability issue when i walked around, it amplifies my tendencies to tilt outwards on my heels. Changing to a thinner and firmer insoles did help marginally as an initial impression, but unsure how it translate during actual run. Perhaps a heel guide can be added to the shoe to address this issue.
Neither do i like the slow and significantly deep compression before returning to original. From theoretic point of view, this feels like a loss in momentum, especially it led to stability issue (wobbling on the heel part). As for walking, this could make one feel cushy and nice though. Like you said, if one does not have stability issue, this may be one's cup of tea.
Am going to with another thinner and hopefully firmer insole to compare before deciding if i want to keep this.

Like the Vaporfly next%2 which I had stability issue when I first did a long run in it. But I like the shoes too much to give it up and slowly acclimatized my feet in it that I ran one FM, and 10km race in it plus a few >25km long runs without any ankle issue after acclimatized.
Same goes with this Qiaodan 强风3TR, I am going to acclimatize my feet in it. As it's a versatile shoes that does tempo, slow run well, and it's thick cushion will be applicable for long runs too. This shoes does anything as long as stability isn't an issue.

good point of view to tweak one's running habit, eg. more forefoot than rear foot, to use the shoe more effectively.
Putting the NB rebel v4 insole into the 强风TR3, the thinner insole (approx2.5mm thk) does help to shoe to feel less unstable.

No change in running style. It's specificity, the muscle skeletal system adapts if you introduce gradual progression. Start with running short distance. Slowly rotate the shoes into higher mileage workouts, and finally one long run to test. If cannot, regress the mileage and start the gradual progression again.

Also, remember for joggers to check properly when running across lights..... (red man still lit but the other direction is changing amber to red for vehicles, ie trying to anticipate the system. This is not very uncommon, pedestrians, cyclists or joggers all do this....heck some vehicles do this as well.

No lights is esp dangerous, like this one. (of coz having lights is still not 100%)
