I think I could run at least 2.20 in any of these when the Mrs finds out how much they cost and chases after me out the house

2 suggestions: 1) Next time you do this you should get some of the slower staff do it also to see what shoes benefit runners of different paces. 2) Throw a daily trainer in to estimate how much of a bump you are getting.

Ran with the Metaspeed Sky Paris' for the Copenhagen Marathon and ran a 2:57. Absolutely loved the shoe. The thing I noticed was that paces that usually feel like hard work seemed to feel slightly easier with this shoe and with the new foam they were extremely comfortable.

I loved this one. Really nice to see you guys go all out and giving big us data backed reviews… loved it

[squarehe]

I love the out of breath reviews! Well done to you both!

Mizuno rebellion pro 2 are an incredibly fast shoe AND are a truly unique and amazing to run in for mid to forefoot runners, I own many high end marathon and fast pace tempo runners and the mizuno are wonderful, Not sure why they don't get the accolades they honestly deserve, masters of uphill climbs,

Stuck at 20:20 5k. Bought takumi sen 10 and immediately ran 19:58 in worse conditions. I’m a complete supershoe convert now and have got the Saucony pro 4s for my half marathon PB attempt in 3 weeks!

I’d love to see Sarah do a 5k all out effort in daily trainer versus a supershoe or two!

Very interesting comparison but I would have liked to see the Alphafly 3 included as well. Personally I have been trying to get my hands on a pair of the Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris for a while as they seem the best pick for me while being significantly cheaper as the Alphaflys. I'm currently using a race retired pair of Vaporfly 2's for faster workouts and they are still holding up well along with a pair of Puma Deviate Nitro 2's for tempo stuff which I love but the design of the fast-R just does not appeal to me. New Balance makes some great shoes but they would not be a top pick for plated shoes, same goes for Mizuno.

This is excellent content! My request is to add in someone running closer to 4:00 per km to see if the results differ by pace range. I would watch dozens of these videos if you did them.

[RyanTHobbyist]

You should have them run in their normal trainers for these so we can see the difference between regular shoes and super shoes.

[UTubeSL]

You are a couple of legends... incredibly speedy legends!

[Jimdaewong]

Nice video editing work. I'm considering the Asics for my next Marathon, but I keep going back to Saucony.

[nailartbylysanne]

I got the ASICS metaspeed paris and alothough they were very expensive, I love every speed session in them! They work great for warming up, but when I go faster they just help me keep going forward

[Stephen-N]

looking forward to seeing the results but i am writing this before i watch, i would love if you then see "cheaper" shoes around the £100-£150 mark because im covinced that the shoe itself doesn't make much of a difference over shorter distance if you are just a good runner. imo its more just finding a shoe thats comfortable for you as an individual rather than "supershoes make you go faster"

[alanwardle]

I came here for useless banter but all I found was an entertaining and informative review of running shoes. Please up your game guys 😉

[jezreel-johnsamson]

I did 3 half marathons with my metaspeed sky paris. My current PB is 01:40:45. I also use them on my intervals and speed run days on track. Definitely worth the buy for a person with standard width. And oh, I have over pronation on my feet.

[ny_park_c_TV]

Wow, this is truly amazing! I run 15km three times a week in a park in Korea, or 45km a week, and I feel out of breath.

[nicnak]

Well done guys great effort, I will go for the Asics when they have a good discount. 👍

[purelyrecovery]

I chose the Asics Paris too over the new Nike Vapourfly's. Personally, I love them ❤ The best shoe I’ve had since the Adidas Pro 1’s. 🙂

[seascape]

Curious how Tom would have done with these shoes, as Andy and Jess are soooo much faster than me.
