ProsMost 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 runsBalanced softness with energy return at any pace · Same pep after 500 km · Outsole shows no wear after 500 km, great wet and dry traction · Wide forefoot and spacious toe box · True to size · Fully attached gusseted tongue and secure heel counter · One shoe for easy runs to the full marathon
ConsExposed 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 MegablastExtra lacing eyelet causes discomfort if laced too tight · Breathability drops above 25 km, more so in hot weather · High stack may feel unstable for absolute beginners · Online only, in limited numbers · Price could come down further
Avoid ifAvoid 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 an absolute beginner, since the high stack can feel unstable; I would pick the Ride 17 instead.
