Great shoe.Purchased as a replacement for my Superblast 2s which had worn down. I wasn't 100% sure about these ones initially and debated between these and another pair of Superblasts (which I loved) but the reviews were amazing for the Megablasts, so I took the plunge. I was not disappointed. The only knock I have against ASICS is their seemingly planned scarcity.Their top models are difficult to get so I had to hover on the Add to cart button on the Blacktoe site the moment they went on sale to get my hands on these almost like Taylor Swift tickets.
Anyway the shoes themselves are fantastic and markedly different than the superblasts which give a much firmer ride. The foam in these ones are bouncier and more responsive.The pickup is excellent and is perfect for things like long runs with MP in the middle. These shoes can do it all and have replaced a few pairs now for me in my rotation. I still have a pair of raceday shoes and another for fast intervals/tempo runs. But now it's Megablasts for all other runs. So that kind of justifies the higher cost for me as these are good for long runs, recovery runs and MP runs during training.
They fit true to size for me as a size 11 normal width. The toebox is a little more narrow than the superblasts but still had enough room without any hotspots.
I now have about 200kms on the shoes and they show no real signs of wear in the tread and the foam is just as bouncy. Other than getting a little dirty I the sloppy December we've been having so far, they are holding up great.
No regrets on these ones - go ahead and get em if they are available and in your budget.
Love these shoes
