Review on Optimized ASICS ๐Ÿƒ MetaRide Running Shoes for Men by Frank Nguyen

Major Design Flaws: Shoes

I've been running in Asics shoes (Gel Kayano) for over a decade. I was thrilled that Asics released a competitor to the Nike Zoom Fly 4% that I used for running (marathons and half marathons) but they are too weak for everyday training. six times in these Metarides and they're useless to me because for some weird reason my socks keep bunching up while running. It's so bad that every mile or two I have to stop and undo them, adjust the sock and re-tie. This hasn't happened to me with any other running shoe (Asics or otherwise), and I've tried several different pairs of socks hoping that for some reason it was socks. I have no idea what this design is. Shoes that cause it, but I can't use these shoes for their intended purpose, which is very unfortunate, especially at the $250 price point. It may be unique to me and the way I run, but I've never had this problem with any other shoe and I've been running for over 30 years.

Pros
