NegativeDid not get on with it: had ankle pain after a long run and thinks it is unsuitable for slight overpronators because the foam collapses on the inner side. Loved their three pairs of Superblast 2 and may go back to them.

NegativeAn 81 kg heel striker with mild overpronation who cannot run in it at 5-6 min per km because the heel is too soft, though otherwise finds it a nice shoe.
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.
