I have IRUNSVAN Speed 3.0 Pro, which according to their descriptions is the model for fast paces. After using them for a while, the foam feels too firm, and the energy return isn't as noticeable.
I also used Li-Ning Feidian 3.0 Challenger. For medium-fast paces, they feel better than the Irunsvan, but the heel isn't as stable.
Before these, I used the ONEMIX PACEBEAM, and I still find them far superior to the other two, even better than the Nike Zoom Fly 3. The energy return is instantly noticeable.
The only problem I encountered with them was that the metatarsal foam flattened significantly after using them on gravel. I stopped using them after about 500 km, but they probably would have lasted much longer if I had only used them on asphalt.
