The edge might just be the racing shoes I’ve been waiting for. But I might invest in the sky also for training before the race and mainly because i have a running shoe problem.
def seems like a good option. Currently using the endorphin pro 3 for racing but these looks very tempting as well. Not sure which is built for me, however.
Both shoes are excellent options for the half marathon. It all comes down to your running preferences. The Metaspeed Edge Paris is a little lighter and a touch firmer where the Alphafly 3 is going to be softer/squishier and might feel more comfortable over a longer distance.
Which one would you recommend for someone who’s solely a forefoot striker. Even though I’m a cadence runner I got the sky + because I needed the extra foam in the forefoot. Now with both being the same, I’m unsure which one to choose. Will be using for Half marathons only.
Given the lower drop in the Edge Paris (5mm) as compared to the Edge Plus (8mm) you're getting a bit more foam under the forefoot, which feels really bouncy and propulsive in combination with the plate placement. I believe cadence runners are going to really enjoy the underfoot experience of the METASPEED Edge Paris. - Jon
At 250 a pair you better go try them. If you run on roads (pavement), I doubt they will last long. Look at the heels of it. Almost no grip. They feel great but skeptical about the longevity of the material.
Im a size 10 in the asics superblast with the huge toebox but often size 10.5 in lots of other shoes ... Not sure whether to go 10 or 10.5 in the sky paris ? Is the toebox as roomy as the superblast ?
@@markoljustina yeah so I've had a chance to do some intervals and tempo sessions in both ... I actually really enjoy both but yes the edge you can feel it pushes you Into higher cadence and leg turnover ... Both are awesome to run in but yes currently I can't see myself using them for a half marathon yet as my Asics Superblast 2 has got me a pb and I don't feel as sore using them as the metaspeed shoes ... Still building in my running journey
Beautiful shoes. I had the metaspeed sky plus, it is not for me, ended up selling it. too unstable with almost nothing under the arch. I see the same design with the new version. Takes someone with strong ankles to handle it.
@@jazzyjay4595 I have tried various speed up to 6:45 to 7:00min/mile. I used a drone to videotape my stride, I felt ok but on the footage overpronating pretty bad. I know it is my ankle strength not able to handle the design, so made a hard decision to part with the beautiful pair of shoes.
@@chadliu86 typically, if you’re running slower than 7/mile, the shoes don’t actually provide a benefit other than the cushioning. Shoes like the SuperBlast or other “super trainers” would be much more suitable. The extra weight of the trainer is not much of an issue in that situation. There was an independent study done back in 2019 that had subjects running in super shoes and trainers. At an average of 6’56 per mile, the trainers and super shoes leveled out in terms of efficiency benefit
@@MookieB777 Both shoes have the same amount of Flytefoam Turbo Plus underfoot, but the Edge feels a bit softer under the forefoot due to the lower placement of the plate.
Is there a specific stride length or cadence speed we should be looking at when considering these two since the sky is for cadence and edge is for strides?
I think it also has to do where you land on your foot. If you are a heel striker the Edge might be best because the rocker starts earlier and the turnover will be easier. If you are a mid foot og forefoot striker the Sky might be best because you will compress more foam because the pate is closer to your foot.

Can't wait to get my hands on the fantastic Sky Paris 😍
I'm going to buy a in-budget first race shoes. I have wide toe box. Looking at Saucony or Asics. Appreciate all the recommendations. Thanks!!!!
Good morning. Like to Liz and Jon. A nice day for everyone.

Same situation, same problem; we don’t go for EP4 ?
@markoljustina I'm actually considering the elite 4 when it comes out. I like my EP3 but I thibk I want something a little faster.
What do you think is a better a better shoe for half marathon, alphafly 3 or metaspeed edge 3
Both shoes are excellent options for the half marathon. It all comes down to your running preferences. The Metaspeed Edge Paris is a little lighter and a touch firmer where the Alphafly 3 is going to be softer/squishier and might feel more comfortable over a longer distance.

How much cadance increased after using metaspeed edge?
Without Studying any information,
I will go for the EDGE version,
just because of the BLACK rubber outsole.
Ha ha
Basically if I just got back to running and planning on a 5k in 2 to 3 months stay away from both?
Yes please❤

I enjoyed the original meta speed sky, I didn't like the sky+. How does this shoe compare?
How do I know if I am a cadence runner?😢
When is going to come the white version of the shoe ?
We aren't expecting a white version at this time.
Which one would have a closer experience to the Superblast?

10.5
@@markoljustina yup got both the edge and Paris in 10.5
@@stevros48 bravo👏🏻 Did you run in them? What is the difference? Which one is better? ..my Sky is still in box, for Chicago😀

How slow are you running in these where they feel unstable

I thought it was just me. I really wanted to like them but you are so right. My ankles were punished in these.

@@jazzyjay4595 absolutely, Superblast is my go to for race day.
yes bouncing 💥🤩✅
When will these be on the RW website?
The shoes are currently listed on our site and will be available for order March 4. -Connor
Connor, is the Edge or Sky softer or more plush?@@runningwarehouse

Take my money

just try them in store
@@markoljustina not an option

@@Nyelands not necessarily; I am a heel striker but I choose Sky because they are little bit softer and have better feeling overall
son first to comment!! Paris France lets go!
Looking like the Edge is for most runners.
