In today's video, Alex runs through his top five carbon plated race day shoes of 2026 so far, comparing the On LS Cloudboom Strike 2, Topo Specter Elite, Brooks Hyperion Elite 6, Diadora Gara Carbon 3, and Under Armour Velociti Elite 3 across upper, midsole, and ride.
This is not a one size fits all ranking. Alex looks at five very different shoes built for five very different runner profiles, breaking down what each one does best and who it is best suited for. Whether you are chasing a personal best, running your first marathon, or looking for a carbon shoe that can handle both race day and quality sessions, there is an option in this list for you.
