ASICS Megablast Reviews

Loves it, but it rips up their pinky toes on longer runs.

Significantly more stable than the Topo Specter 3 for them, but the toe box is a problem.

Loves the foam but it chews up their toes even half a size up.

Loves the midsole, but the narrow, low-volume toe box killed their toes after several miles.

Got two black toenails from the toe box in their usual ASICS size, but considers it the best shoe they have owned, so they sized up and now run all marathon workouts in it without issues.

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.

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.
