The Asics Megablast is both one of the best running shoes I’ve tested this year and also a shoe it’s hard to heartily recommend, because it’s so expensive. While high prices are nothing new for running shoes, there are excellent alternatives to the Megablast available for almost $100 less.
Based on pure performance, though, the Megablast is terrific. I’ve used it for all kinds of runs, and it has impressed me every time. The high stack of bouncy and lightweight foam in the midsole delivers a comfortable and fast ride; this really is a running shoe you can use for everything, and it seems durable based on my testing, too.
