ProsSoft, bouncy FF Blast Max top layer · Stable firmer base layer · Plush heel and tongue padding · More breathable than the Kayano 32 · 8 mm drop · Comfortable on 20 km long runs · Safe option for a first full marathon · Suits flat, neutral and high archesPremium-feeling materials for the price · Thick heel padding and stiff heel counter · Long, premium laces · Moderate, non-intrusive 3D Guidance support · Wide platform for a stable ride · Compact, feels lighter than its 270–280 g · Smooth heel-to-toe transition · Amazing step-in comfort, superb walking shoe
ConsDurability doubts for runners over 90 kg · About 20% less structure than the Kayano 32 · Too soft for severe overpronators who dislike soft foam · Not for wide feet in the standard width · Expensive at ₹17,000Midsole lacks impact protection, ankles and calves worked extra · Not enough for excessive overpronation · Very flexible, durability doubtful · Outsole rubber feels softer than on premium ASICS · Lacks the ASICS feel of cheaper Gel Excite 10 and Gel-Pulse · Not worth the retail price
Avoid ifAvoid it if you are over 90 kg with flat feet, or overpronate heavily and dislike soft foam; the Kayano 32 suits you better.Avoid it if you are a serious runner wanting a ₹5,000 shoe that lasts 800 km, or if you overpronate excessively.
