ASICS Megablast Reviews

It rubs their pinky toe, making runs over 10K tricky, though they enjoy the feel.

A 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.

Their first tempo half marathon in it destroyed their pinky toes with blisters despite them not having wide toes.

Two runs in, the narrow toe box gives them big-toe pain that worsens over distance.

The Megablast forefoot is snug and causes big-toe discomfort late in longer runs.

Took it on a 14 km run on day one and grinned the whole way; it is a bit snug in the forefoot, but they hope it loosens before their first marathon.

Three runs in, the Megablast toe box is tight; on the first run they changed shoes at 10k due to a blister at the big-toe knuckle.

After more than 50 pairs of Asics, the Megablast was the first that didn't fit: the toe box was crazy tight in their usual size, so they returned it.

After three trouble-free pairs of Superblast 2, got a pinky-toe blister on the first run in the Megablast; half a size up still blistered both pinky toes within five miles, so they cut holes in the upper.

Finds the Megablast quite narrow, which makes it uncomfortable to wear for long, and wishes ASICS offered wider sizes; otherwise it would be a great shoe.

In UK 9.5 the Megablast fit is less comfortable than hoped, snug around the little toe.
