At 49 yrs young, I just ran my first full marathon with sky Paris finished in 3.42.The shoes weight helped so much in the last miles, if I had hoka X1 on I don't think I would get 3.42. Have a good nap Princess.

I used mine for two 30k and a full marathon race and they worked great. I ran 3h39 to give an idea of the pace. They were comfortable until the end, not the slightest issue or discomfort. And so light!
Certainly the best race shoe I ever had so far

I haven't tried the Edge, but I just ran a 2.47 Marathon (PR) with the Sky Paris. Such fantastic shoes. I think the Edge could be more fit for me, though, because I tend to increase my cadence at a fast pace. Best of all, my legs felt relatively fresh after an all-out marathon.

I love the Edge Paris and got my PR in a 5K with it. I also have the Sky Paris and Cielo X1 and can’t decide which to use for my first half marathon. Leaning towards the Hoka.

[MidLifeRunner]

Nailed it. I feel the same way about HM and down. Best at higher cadence paces.

Hope the princess did not wake up. :) she's lovely.
NOw i want to try Edge Paris. Thanks

[NikoSaario]

Sold out 😐 Still. Hopefully get my hands on those this summer.

What I have found is that if you have a more narrow foot Metaspeeds tend to be better then most race shoes for 10Ks to Marathons.

[FelipeMarinPerucci]

Thanks for the review - in Australia there’s big discounts (~$100) for the Plus versions - should I take that offer? What are the main differences with the older models?

[Carlosediaz]

These are beyond unstable it’s wild to me that no one is talking about the stability.

I guess these shoes aren’t intended to be stable but other marathon shoes are far more stable.

This would be great for a 5k or 2 mile if your really up on your toes but if you need any mid foot stability I would look elsewhere

[ericwj]

Like you I loved the Edge + used it for 2 Half's so far. How do they compare? or do they compare? Thanks!

[nordicwilly]

Thanks Matt. Does the Edge have any of that mushy feeling found in the Nimbus and Novablast? I found those shoes way too soft even though everyone else seems to love them. I assume the plate must firm up the Edge quite a bit

[chrisscheideman]

Matt, you speak here about your preference for the Alphafly 3 for the marathon, but what about the Alphafly 3 vs Endorphin Elite?

[camonly]

What do you think about this vs the superblast? Obviously different shoes altogether. But just curious on your take between the two. I've seen some people on here say if they had a choice other than superblast for a marathon they would choose something else, but if they had to use the superblast it wouldn't bother them at all.

I have a marathon coming up in 3 weeks and trying to figure out if I should run in Paris Edge or Vaporfly 3???? Love them both

[yiannsk]

I absolutely love this shoe but it's unfortunately not for me. 
I destroyed my 10k PB (it is that fast) in a half marathon on it and it destroyed my ankle. Narrow heel is a problem for mortal runners, not to mention wide feet ones. While every reviewer is awed by the Paris series, many of them wouldn't recommend it for a full marathon. Which begs the question: how is this a successful shoe if cannot go the full distance of what is designed for?

[farisrosli]

would you choose this over vaporfly 3?

[RonnyC]

Is this most similar to endorphin pro 3?

[BamainMn]

Interesting review. But if i can marginally handle the Vaporfly Next % for the marathon (felt a bit of soreness in left ankle at 18, but pushed on without lingering damage) would the Edge work?

Although I loved the first versions of the Sky, I got put off buying any new versions because of how different the Sky plus was in terms of my foot rolling dramatically inwards as I ran in them. My foot felt like it was hanging off the side in the Sky plus but I never got that feeling in either the Sky or the edge first versions. If the Paris versions were like the first version I would definitely get a pair as I know I can run in them. If they are like the Sky plus I don’t think it’s worth me getting them.
