FAQs
Is the Magic Speed 5 suitable for trail running?
No, this model is specifically engineered for road surfaces to take advantage of the carbon plate's propulsion.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The 7mm drop and rocker geometry make it highly effective for midfoot and forefoot strikers.
Can I use these for daily training?
While durable enough for some training, they are primarily designed for speed work and racing due to their firm, responsive nature.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Magic Speed 5 is categorized as a unisex trainer, though fit may vary based on your standard UK sizing.
How do I clean my ASICS trainers?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes or using a washing machine, which can damage the adhesives and foam properties.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch during long runs
Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider using a thinner performance sock to reduce internal pressure.
The shoe feels too firm after the first use
The Magic Speed 5 is designed for performance; it will soften slightly after the initial break-in period of 20-30 kilometers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Magic Speed 5 trainers, perform a short break-in run of 5–10 kilometers to allow the foam and plate to align with your natural gait. As these are neutral racing shoes, they are compatible with most standard neutral foot strikes. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from excessive heat or direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the midsole foam. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally at room temperature, as high heat from a dryer can compromise the bond between the upper and the sole unit.
