ASICS Unisex METASPEED Sky 3 Running Shoe

First, I was introduced to carbon-plated running shoes not long after the Nike Vapor Fly series came out. I found the shoe to be very helpful in improving my time as it had done for Klipchoge and other elite marathon runners. Research shows this type of shoe has had substantial impact on marathon times dropping for elite runners over the past 5+ years. Essentially, they allow a runner to be more efficient in his/her stride. For the past 35 years, I've run with ASICS shoes about 90% of the time and, eventually, I saw that they had a couple of different carbon-plated shoes, one of which is the Metaspeed Sky Paris. I have owned and run in this pair for ten months and have run one marathon along with some 10Ks and long training runs. In addition, I recently purchased a pair of Hoka Mach X2 carbon plate shoes for training purposes, too, as a comparison. So, to the point here, the Metaspeed Sky Paris is SO much more comfortable than either the Nike or Hoka carbon-plated offerings. Provides great push off and striking and exceptionally comfortable during a run. They also cause the least post-race pain recovery compared to the other two. Everyone is different, but I find the Nikes and Hokas to be hard on my lower back post race. They are similarly built in the sense that the base of the shoe is quite hard to accommodate the carbon plate and foam compared to the ASICS which is softer but still provides firm support. If you are an avid runner and don't have an issue like over-pronating, I'd highly recommend these for both comfort and taking time off your races. ASICS also has a Metaspeed Edge carbon-plated shoe. It has a slightly flatter feel to it. Try those on, too, to see if you'd prefer them. The point here is that these shoes are exceptionally lightweight, offer great push off when you're running and cause very little residual pain after a fast and/or lengthy run.

I rate these as 5 stars even though they didn't work out for me. These shoes are fast, I cannot deny. However, as with these types of shoes, it is not a "fit all" type thing. I have run two halves in these shoes. Both were good times after coming back from about 6 yrs of racing. I'm able to glide for about 10 miles or so in these, the last couple miles I start forming blisters in the middle forefoot area down the middle of the foot. Ran the halves in around 1hr 27min both times. I got Size 11.5, and am unsure if I should have gone down to 11 (was a bit too tight). Perhaps adjusting the lockdown with the lacing could yield me different results. For now though, I do not think I could put down a full marathon in these.

First thing I noticed was how light these shoes are. They feel like you’re holding air. When you put them on, you notice that amazing cushion feel, kinda similar to the Superblast. They’re not the most stable pair of shoes so they’re definitely not meant for walking around. When you run, you can definitely feel the energy return. Other shoes sink in, these guys just feel like they’re letting your legs move quicker. They’re not the most stable shoes and they almost feel like they force you into forefoot striking. I tried the different foot landings and they felt awkward. The performance is incredible. I’ve PR’d runs just trying to break these in. I highly recommend these shoes if you’re looking to PR.

The product is very good but they sent me the wrong size and now they can’t refund my money or exchange with right size. I am very disappointed

After fantasizing about these and watching dozens of videos about them I really didn't like these, I have bought Asics for 15 years now. These super shoes were supposed to be great for all types of distances. I ran with them on several test runs (and had no more than 40 miles overall on the tread) before my big marathon. The foam degrades so quickly on them. I'm now only at 80 miles on them and they are near unwearable. Most expensive shoes ever bought and least durable shoes ever. Not worth it.

I am an Asics fan and most of my sneakers are Asics. Here are the pros: super light shoe, the lightest I've ever tried on. All weight is gone, even on the tongue and laces. When I put them on I immediately felt like I could move faster. Wow! The insert is glued in, but it is very thin, so I put my Cur-ex insoles on top of them and they fit great. I have bad bunions, but it has a large toe box so there was no pressure against them. Cons: the mesh uppers did not provide a strong enough structure for my foot, even with the laces tightened. It also felt as if my foot was rolling outward. All of this could be specifically not working only for me, but I am not risking a fall so I returned them. I'm back to the Asics Gel Nimbus 25.

I bought these for my husband. He felt like maybe something was holding him back when it came to running. I did some research and found these. He really loves them! He said they are the lightest shoes he’s ever worn. It takes some getting used to but he thinks the money was worth it. I picked them up and whoa, they are soooo light! Might have to get me a pair.

Marathon training shoes, these shoes I enjoyed to be honest I did have to return but just for a correct size. Once I received the correct size they worked amazing comfort, well build, and a good value for a training shoe

No me quedó, llegó muy pequeño. Metí devolución y no me han dado respuesta.
