    I'm wondering, did you find the MEP softened up a bit after 50+ miles? Just got mine for a Marathon this September and did a 14M run in them. Great race shoe so far! Need to take a few more runs in them to be sure but the 14m Marathon pace right out of the box felt great! Thank you.

    Thanks for the honest review and feedback on these 2 shoes. I also really love the Novablast 1,2,3. As you said everyone is diffrent in there Preferences for shoes. Does the edge feel more like the VF3? I really have gotteen used to a rocker so I beleieve I will get along with the Edge better but until and I do a long run I wont know. In a Marathon it's a big risk not knowing the shoe before as I've had a shoe feel fine until say mile 12-14 and then it gets really painful in my toe's area after that which would be a horrible experience for 26+ miles.

    Great Review, I just found you and I like the down to earth vibe of your review:) Did you have the Edge+ or Sky+ as a comparison by chance? I loved the Edge + for Half marathons and under very snappy and fsat for me.

      Thank you! I loved novablast 1/2/3, and haven't tried 4. If you are going to try the Asics meta speed edge paris, make sure to get half size bigger than your novablast (if your novablast if your normal shoe size). I also recommend NB SC elite v4, its more comfortable, but if you are a fast runner, they might be too comfortable for a race day shoe :) Hope that helps.
