How it ranks
The ASICS Superblast is one of the strongest racing shoes in our data. Looks and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 50 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Superblast product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
100/100
“Stiff outer midsole creates snap without the strain drawbacks of a plate.”
“Doesn't feel like losing yourself when the foam compresses; gives nice springback.”
“Snappy enough for quick running, cushioned enough to run long.”
“High stack gives feet a break from pounding on easy days.”
“Responsive enough for tempos without feeling weighed down or bulky.”
“The FFturbo and thin layer of FFblast+ is a very good level of softness.”
“Effortlessly takes 15 seconds off each mile.”
“400+ miles with essentially no wear.”
“Slightly narrow in midfoot, while toebox height quite large.”
“Stiffness prevents foot injuries that flexible shoes cause.”

Reminds me of the lightweight, cushiony asics trainers of the 90s. Nice to see them filling this niche again. Also reminds me of 1st gen Hoka Clifton.

One of the best shoe i’ve ever run in. Finishing Multiple half marathon with this shoe. But, it’s quiet expensive. recommended for heavy use runners.

Usually only get 300 miles out of shoe but have managed to get 400-500. On second pair. Light, durable, and cushioned (but not too much). Hoping the 2nd version is even better
