What surfaces are these shoes best for?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too firm

The Magic Speed 5 is designed for a firm, propulsive ride. If it feels too firm, it may not be the right shoe for your needs, or you may need to allow more time for break-in on shorter runs before using for longer distances.

Uneven wear on the outsole

Check your running gait. If you notice uneven wear, consider consulting a running specialist for a gait analysis. Ensure you are using the shoes on their intended surfaces (asphalt).

Laces come undone easily

Try double-knotting the laces or explore alternative lacing techniques designed to keep knots secure during high-intensity running.

Discomfort in the arch

While designed for neutral runners, some individuals may require additional arch support. Consider trying the shoes with aftermarket insoles designed for neutral runners.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Magic Speed 5 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear these shoes with performance running socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are best suited for asphalt and other paved road surfaces. They are not intended for trail running or heavy gym workouts.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
