Picked up a pair of Metaspeed Sky+ in the week ready for a HM tomorrow. Went out Thursday for a quick test drive and finally run a sub-20 5km (previous PB 20:40) so can’t wait to give them a go tomorrow 🙏

I have both and prefer the pro 3. The sky+ doesn't feel very bouncy and soft - it's quite firm. It's also VERY stiff. The pro 3 is a more comfortable and enjoyable ride for me - you do feel like they're just rolling you along. I don't get the same sense of ease of movement / cruise control in the sky+. Both are very fast shoes, but for me the pro 3 gets you there with smiles as well. The sky+ is all business.
