Best praise vs top criticism for Asics Metaspeed Sky 2
โI was all Asics at the start & now a bit of a Saucony convert. Saucony the only shoe brand yet to draw blood or deep disappointment from me with their super shoes so I most likely will stay with them. Adidas Pro 3 and NB Elite V3 both caused foot bleeding from rubbing. Metaspeed Sky plus & Meta Speed 2 were farcically bad for me. Haven't touched them after the initial trial runs & rate them the worst of the worst super shoes by far. At least Adidas Pro 3 and Elite V3 were fun as hell to run in despite the injuries. Asics super shoes were like running on cardboard. I always heard the hype about the EP3s but disliked the look and colorways but tried them in the end with hopes of avoiding cuts and nicks on my feet in an upcoming race. They delivered in my trial run and subsequent race so I'm a believer.โ
