Full details

The ASICS Metaspeed Edge+ trainers are high-performance running shoes engineered for athletes focused on increasing their speed and cadence during long-distance efforts. Featuring advanced cushioning and a responsive design, these shoes help runners achieve their personal bests with enhanced energy return. However, due to their specialized nature, they are best suited for race-day performance or high-intensity speed workouts rather than casual daily training.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

While durable, they are optimized for racing and speed work. For daily training, a shoe with more traditional structure is often preferred to save the responsiveness of the Metaspeed Edge+ for hard efforts.

Does the Metaspeed Edge+ have a carbon plate?

Yes, it incorporates a carbon plate designed to work in tandem with the midsole foam to improve your running economy.

Can I use custom orthotics with these?

The insole is removable, but the shoe is designed to work with its specific geometry. Consult a professional if you require specialized orthotics.

How long should the shoes last?

Performance racing shoes typically provide optimal performance for 200-400 kilometers depending on your running surface and biomechanics.

What is the primary difference between the Edge+ and other Metaspeed models?

The Edge+ is specifically designed for 'cadence' runners who increase speed by taking longer strides, whereas other models in the series may cater to different running styles.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability during corners

The shoe's geometry is designed for forward propulsion; focus on maintaining a consistent foot strike and avoid excessive side-to-side motion.

Experiencing arch discomfort

Ensure your lacing is secure but not overly tight. If discomfort persists, consider using an alternative lacing pattern to relieve pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for faster paces
  • Lightweight design helps reduce fatigue
  • Striking and modern color scheme
  • Specifically tuned for cadence-style runners

Cons

  • Not intended for slow-paced casual daily training
  • May require a transition period if used to traditional trainers
  • Less stability compared to maximalist daily trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Metaspeed Edge+ trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are built on a performance last. Ensure you have a thumb's width of space in the toe box for comfort during longer runs.
  2. Break-in: While they feature advanced technology, it is recommended to test them in a few shorter speed sessions before using them in a competitive race.
  3. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry these shoes as it may compromise the foam and carbon plate integrity.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the performance materials.
