Watching this video and watching other shoe reviewers opinion on sky vs. the edge lets me know who is really knowledgeable on shoes. Stick with people that know what they are talking about. Great video Matt.

@brianway4240

Yes, it is impossible. Stores don't carry either of the Metaspeeds. Retailers exists which sell them. Most of these influencers plug Running Warehouse, which does have a brick-and-mortar outlet if you happen to be in SLO, CA. Otherwise, you're mail-ordering. My point still stands. ShoeTubers get them for free. We don't.

Ignoring the Asics stride vs cadence marketing, I would be interested in seeing the DOR take on what types of mechanics work best between the Sky and Edge Paris!

Not taking it off road.. Not running sock less to keep it fresh.. You love this one ❤❤❤

Great review. Just took them right out of the box on a 2.5 mile mixed-pace quick one from 7:00 down to a 600m @ 5:35 pace. Definitely felt much more responsive the faster I went, and while not bouncy you felt the energy. Compared to the Rocket X2 (raced in 3 times), they are less soft, but not harshly so in any way, and less stable, but not undoable at all for my flat feet and pronation (at least for a 5-10k). The lockdown was great, as was the almost serrated texture of the laces. I hope you do a direct comparison between the Edge Paris and the Rocket X2, Endorphin Pro 4, etc.

I'll take the Doc's Review over the others that I've seen on here. TRUSTED.

Great review! Useful information on how the shoe rolls when hitting the ground.

Yes, Peba does have a distinct scent. It smells like . . . victory.

So I guess the Sky Paris for me as a heavy forefoot striker.

@hamishmaclean1409

I was a bit surprised that he prefers the Edge as my understanding is that the plate is more aggressive ie. steeper angle so you think that would suit folks with a better forward lean / forefoot strike. Perhaps this also works for heel strikers provided they have good technique and roll through fast enough...

I love mine. First run of five miles was not great. Twenty mile run really softened them up and 15k race a few days later was terrific. I wouldn't use on trail as exposed outsole is...delicate.

I saw the wholesale catalog and it's supposed to have the foam that the Metas had until now. FF Turbo. I think it also going to be the lightest MS yet. Low 7s, similar to what the Metas were. I guess it will be a true racing shoe at a decent price.

Just tried out (treadmill and in-store sprints) the Sky and Edge at the Asics store in New York's Meatpacking, and even though I'm a mid/forefoot runner, I preferred the Edge. My cadence and my stride length tend go up with my pace and the Edge Paris just works better with my running form/mechanics. Fwiw, I've watched another review where they compared the plate placement to the different plate placements in the Alphafly (Sky) and the Vaporfly (Edge), and since I get on very well with my Vapes, I'm actually not surprised that the Edge is where I've landed. Anyway, just ordered them from Marathon Sports w/5% off. Can't wait to take them for a spin.

i just bought Edge Paris.. its very light and fast

First time viewer , excellent and informative as I am contemplating its purchase. I run in wide toe box shoes ...how is this one???Thank You Matt.

Thanks Matt and others. I also managed to find the Metaspeed specs on the Japan ASICS site and yep Edge definitely looks much closer to the Vaporfly 3. Might give the Sky a try as VF3 didn’t work for me at all…

Hello! Just wanted to say thank you for the reviews you do. Really helped me a lot. I’m a new runner. Just started 3 months ago, and my longest run is 10km and I really enjoy it a lot. The lure of having to try and wear a super shoe is really tempting. (The Metaspeed Edge Paris) I have flat feet and with mild pronation. My current shoes are the GT 2000 12 and the Superblast. Just wanted to ask if its necessary to get the Edge Paris in this point of my running training? My goal is to be able to beat my 10km time. Thanks so much.

Hi Matt, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. I haven't tried Metaspeed lineup, maybe becasue was not easy to choose between Sky or Edge. I'm fore to midfoot striker so do you think that Sky would be better for my gait cycle? Like this brand new Paris collectiion so maybe right time to pick up one pair :) All the Best, Peter from Slovakia

How do you compare the plate between sky and edge versus saucony endorphin pro 4 and elite?

Thoughts on this for a marathon for 3:15-3:25 runner?

Should i buy this? I already bought vapor 3 and alpa3 I need for 5-10k session race

Good for middle pack speeds i.e. 4.40 - 5.00 m/km?

@Fozzee.1970

I don't think it's that simple. I think you need to be a very strong runner to take either to a full marathon shoe. For me as an average runner it's a max half marathon shoe for me. Ironically I'm allegedly a stride runner but the Sky keeps me too far back on my heels. The Edge puts me onto the forefoot.

this or vaporfly 3? 😮‍💨

@@seph_The edge has more foam between the heel and plate. The positioning and shape (it’s narrower) of the carbon plate in the edge means there is more foam between the foot and plate. This means it’s more cushioned for heel strikers. Additionally, the carbon plate is more gradual in its gradient from under the forefoot to its end. The Sky has a plate closer to the foot. The science suggests that more foam beneath the plate means the foam can be loaded more. This essentially means more rebound for a person loading the the plate foam with more force (ASICS defines as a stride runner). However, this force is upwards as well as forwards. Technically this should appeal to elite runners still running fast from Mike 18-26 of a marathon BUT the Elites trialling the prototypes have numerically preferred the Edge. I can’t comment on that, so go figure!
