Blog · RunToTheFinish — Amanda Brooks · summarized
PositiveAmanda 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.
Runners mostly describe the Superblast 2 as a firm, stable and very durable trainer for long runs and daily miles, with many reporting very long wear. A break-in of many miles is common, and some never warm to the stiff, heavy feel at slow paces.
