| Pros | Most fun shoe of the year · Extremely soft FF Leap + FF Blast Plus midsole · Fit true to size at UK 8, snug and secure · Plush woven upper with gusseted tongue · Light at 230 g for a 46/38 mm stack · Stability improved once I'd done a few runs | Very soft and very stable on first try · Lighter than expected at 290 g · Breathable, high-quality engineered mesh · Very soft heel padding and strong heel clip · Slip-on design, no laces needed · Durable-looking outsole · About half the Vomero Premium's price |
| Cons | Exposed midsole wears and cracks quickly · Outsole rubber wears fast · Narrower forefoot than Superblast 2 · Expensive at ₹22,000–23,000, rarely discounted · Can feel clunky for lighter runners · Less energetic than the Megablast | No bounce at all · Not for serious runners · No official tech specs · Only tried on, not run in |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you have ankle pronation and need a stability shoe, or if you have wide feet and can't size up or get the wide version. | Avoid it if you are a serious runner who wants a bouncy or faster shoe. |
My verdicts
ASICS
Superblast 3
If money is no issue and you want one shoe that makes you love running, the Superblast 3 is the one I recommend. No other shoe this year gave me this much fun, though the soft exposed midsole wears quickly.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you have ankle pronation and need a stability shoe, or if you have wide feet and can't size up or get the wide version.

Comfort Ride EasyOn
On first try it felt very soft and very stable, a beginner-friendly max-cushion shoe for slow, chatty runs at about half the Vomero Premium's price. It is for casual run-club runners, not serious runners.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you are a serious runner who wants a bouncy or faster shoe.
