METASPEED EDGE PARIS

I ran a 3:50 mara last year in a pair of metaspeed edge Paris. I was 93kg and they were awesome. I was stupidly doing an ultra 6 days later so didn't really push the run but they kept it fun and comfortable

For me, Evo sl or endorphin speed. I could use those for daily, but id also have no issue racing in them. In my rotation they occupy a big middle zone where they can do a lot of different things. Ive never had issue with durability on the speeds (800km+). But i also think there are better race day shoes, and better trainers. Shoes are so specialized now, theyre each designed for a goal, and no one shoe will be perfect at everything. I have 4 shoes in my rotation. And actually the easiest one to cut (if I had to) would be my race day shoes (metapseed edge paris), because I really only use them a couple times a year for races.

I find the metaspeed paris quite roomy in the toe box. Probably the most roomy of any of the shoes I own. I have the edge version.

I have the endorphin speed and pro 3s & 4s. I think the pro 4s are a pretty solid bet for almost anyone. They're nice, light, comfortable. I like them a little better than the 3s because the upper is better for me. My foot feels better connected to the shoe. You might be able to find a deal on the 4s right now. I got some half price. But I've also got asics metaspeed paris and have done my last few races in them. And will probably look at a tokyo for my next marathon in fall. The metaspeed have been solid for me, I don't even really think about them on foot. But at first they felt a little weird because they're so soft. Whereas the pro 4s are more traditional "solid" foam, and whether someone heel strikes or whatever, I think that shoe would do well, and provide support. The metaspeed are nice while running, and I don't really need any other support, but I could see it not working for everyone.

Help me with a long run shoe. I ran 2:26 marathon and am hoping for a long run shoe that would be suitable for runs at that pace, while still offering enough support. I'm not sure most racing shoes are sufficiently saving the legs. Shoes I've tried that aren't pure daily trainers: Boston 13 - good but also very stiff, I feel like it beats my legs too much. EVO SL - great, just not enough support for 30+ km long runs. Novablast 5 - better than EVO SL in support, but loses all pop after 150km. Disappointing. I'm curious about Megablast and Prime X Strung, but price tags are nuts and it's not possible to buy them locally to try them on. Any other suggestions? Otherwise I may stick with changing shoes for MP sections. EDIT: Racing shoes I've used and loved: Adidas Pro 4 and Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris. I also have Mizuno Neo Vista 2 (slow shoe) but I find the feeling of it incredible. I ran in On Cloudboom Echo 3 before, did not like the firmness. TL/DR I prefer a bit softer shoes, but not extremely soft like Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo.

733km on EVO SL, the foam died on me (82kg). 270 on NB5. Racing shoes I've used and loved: Adidas Pro 4 and Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris. I'll add to the post that I like the feeling of not very firm shoes.

Edge ~ VF1,2 EP3, DNE4, you can consider AP4;

Nema šta, sada sam istrčao maraton PB 3:07:46 Tokyo (osvojio lutriju) u Adios Pro 4, isto sam heel striker; Saucony 4 i 5 su sranje (3 je bio vrh) NB elite 5 je više trening patika, Edge je prebrz za tebe, AF je za forefoot strikers; i AP4 uopšte nisu nestabilne; neki pišu i da su Evo Sl kao tvrde; ovi ovde većinom nemaju pojma - lično ni ne pratim ovu stranu nego mi se uz put pojavljuje

I am current running most on Megablast . Started with Adidas but slowly become a Asics fan. Start with NB5, then get Metaspeed Paris Edge, love it for the 5K, Then upgrade to SB2. Curious about the Superblast 3.
