Firm, stable and very durable, though some never warm to the stiff, heavy feel at slow paces.

Negative

With a EEE-wide foot, doesn't love the Superblast 2's fit.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Aug 12, 2026 · summarized

Mixed

First runs: a bit narrow and rubbing at first but breaking in; firm, stable and springy at faster paces.

Mixed

Narrow upper and slappy, but handled everything including a 10K PR and a marathon.

Blog · RunToTheFinish — Amanda Brooks · summarized

Positive

Amanda Brooks found it stable despite the 45 mm stack, with a consistent ride through about 200 miles and foam that has not gone mushy. The outsole still grips on wet roads, and she expects another 200–300 miles. The toe box felt short and shallow at first; the $200 price is the main drawback.

Negative

Wore four pairs of the first Superblast in size 8.5 for over 500 miles with a perfect fit, but two pairs of the Superblast 2 Paris in 8.5 were so tight in the toe box they were unwearable. Has a size 9 on the way.
