FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
No, the Superblast 3 is specifically engineered as a road trainer. The outsole design is optimized for flat surfaces like pavement and concrete.
What does the 8mm drop mean for my running form?
An 8mm drop provides a moderate heel-to-toe offset, which is ideal for neutral runners who want a balance between heel-strike support and efficient forefoot transitions.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
Yes, many runners find the combination of low weight and high energy return makes them excellent for long-distance racing and training alike.
How long should these trainers last?
With proper care and use on road surfaces, you can expect between 400 to 500 miles of consistent performance from the premium midsole foams.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you wear thick performance socks, you may want to ensure you have a thumb's width of space in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability at high speeds
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to lock in the midfoot, as the high stack height requires a snug fit for optimal control.
Midsole foam feels stiff out of the box
The FF LEAP foam requires a short break-in period. Take the shoes on a few moderate-length runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Superblast 3 trainers, ensure a proper fit by checking the space in the toe box; the neutral design works best with your standard running socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after runs to prevent buildup from compromising the material.
- Drying: Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the specialized foams. Air dry in a well-ventilated space.
- Storage: Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the midsole compounds over time.
- Rotation: While the shoe is durable, rotating them with another pair allows the foams to fully recover their structure between long runs.
