MixedA 45-65 mpw midfoot striker at 600 km finds the Megablast one of their most versatile shoes, grippy, stable on turns and light with great energy return and little outsole wear, but the low-volume tapered toe box left bleeding toes on a 38 km run, so they keep it under 25 km.
Most runners find the Megablast bouncy, responsive and very durable, with plenty of life left after hundreds of miles and use as an all-round trainer. The narrow, low toe box is the main complaint, causing blisters, especially on the pinky toes, and lockdown is hard for some.
