Revainrating 5 out of 5

You are a game changer, ASICS.

Post 75 miles Review: I've used this shoe for both short and long runs. Although the stack height is large, it can be used for all types of runs (easy, tempo, etc.); quiet versatile. I'm the right size and they fit just right. If you want less ground contact, these shoes are for you. Yes, the shoe has a "crack". No signs of use. Overall I am satisfied and will continue to run in these shoes. I predict this shoe will last a long time (400+ miles).

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

These shoes are amazing but there is one small problem.

I'm 5ft 10" and average 150lbs but I walk like I have lead weights strapped to my ankles. I hit my heel hard and have trouble finding shoes that don't weigh a ton with adequate cushioning. In that sense, these ASICS are truly amazing! Lightweight, padded. Seriously, the first day I put them on I shaved for over a minute and a half after my 5 mile run. ! I ran into a small problem and it goes like this: Some of the reviews I read said that these shoes felt unstable at times. Until now I never…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Arch collapse is good for freeway driving

Overall, as most reviewers describe it, it has a good springy ride. However, the shoes are wrinkled in the arch and ball of the foot under the big toe. With every step, my foot just falls inward. I've never had this problem with running shoes (I've run about 6 times, averaging about 40-60 miles per week). I've added Greenfeet insoles for more arch support, ran 10 miles today and the insole helps reduce breakdown, but I'm not sure I can continue to use these shoes for anything other than the…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Unsafe

Fantastic shoes

At the time of writing this review I have run in them 6 times and clocked 7 miles per run. This is of course a personal opinion, every foot is unique and the feeling can vary from person to person. Since this is a written review, I don't want to spread it so widely that it might be easier for others to read. I think these shoes are for longer runs in general and regular training use. The shoes are not designed for racing. I think it's a bit heavier for this purpose. I think it's amazing for…

Pros
  • Easy to put on
Cons
  • Upgradable

Excellent midsole theme

Good! So I'm writing this to say the good and the bad. Pros: This new FF BLAST technology is one of the best I've used, way better than On Cloud, Nike Reaction and equal or slightly better than the Ultraboost 20, moooooo better than all Mizuno and Saucony shoes, the midsole is too stable, even if you step too far to the right or left, the shoe will try to keep the foot centered. I think the midsole and FF Blast technology is 10 out of 10. Cons: Shoe construction, webbing and sidewalls are just…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Write later

Maximalist not light comfortable shoe

I usually like to run in shoes with minimal cushioning and no more than 6mm drop, but I bought these Novablast shoes after reading good reviews online and because I like running shoes with a rotation system Avoid putting strain on the same parts of your feet day in and day out. These shoes are extremely cushioned with a 10mm drop, fit my normal size and are comfortable from day one. As maximalists, they place much more stress on the knees relative to the hips than shoes with a lower foot height

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Updates

Like cushioning running, only better

I love these shoes! The Flyte foam is really good and the rubber outsole lasts great for 100 miles! Fit was great for me. The lacing is good too; no heel slip and no weird chafing. The outsole has unrealistic cushioning and rebound properties. I love these running shoes for short to medium distances. Hell, I even use them for long distance runs. I also occasionally use them for some tempo runs. I don't use them on many fast pace days or for speed work. They have great suspension and the weight…
