ASICS Superblast 3 Reviews

A bigger runner covered 100 miles in the shoe in Florida heat, using it for daily miles, long runs and some fartlek. They found the upper very breathable and light, and the outsole, though chewed up, held up well. They described the cushioning as a middle ground, neither too soft nor too firm, which made recovery easier on their knees and hips. They felt it is not designed for top-end speed and suits high-weekly-mileage runners who want a soft daily shoe.

Their favourite shoes ever, with world-class impact protection for a 230 lb runner.

In the right size it feels like heaven with room for their toes to splay.

A cushioned, lightweight easy-day shoe without the SB2's blockiness, but it lost the SB2's hidden pop at faster paces.

450 miles of easy, long and threshold runs as a heel striker: light, soft and bouncy with surprisingly little wear; the best Superblast yet.

The shoe they most want to run in: soft and comfortable for 50 km runs where the Vomero Plus disappointed; 277 km in the first month and a favourite for long second runs.

After a 34 km run their feet felt as if they hadn't run; recommends it for people who do lots of long runs.

Super comfortable and cushioned, but on turns it felt like they'd roll an ankle and it got fatiguing on long or fast runs.

Training for a half marathon, they set a pace PR on a 9-mile run and found these far better on their legs than the Glycerin 22.

Twelve miles in: extremely soft, bouncy and comfortable, with enough pop that it isn't mushy; a different shoe from earlier versions.
