Customer Reviews ASICS Magic Speed

Have put 70 + miles on this shoe at about 6:50 pace. Good engineered upper mesh and like the heel lock down. Well, it is not a race shoe, ok training shoe. Tongue is super thin, lacing is overkill. Cushion is medium to firm. Really do not like the toe off on this shoe. You would think with the rocker that it would push you straight to your forefoot, nope. Could not even feel the 3/4 plate in the shoe. I'm moving on from this shoe, not a tempo shoe, not a race shoe and my longest run really beat up my legs. So, go figure.

Light-weight, plush cushioning, highly-responsive, and fast

So far the best shoe of the year for me. I will continue to use this for my training

The Magic Speed is a great shoe. If it had an insole with some arch support it would be perfect.

Great shoe. Really helped with my hip issues. Light springy and great fit.

For the fit-I felt the shoe was a little narrow, so I had to buy a half size larger. The cushioning is fantastic but I needed several runs to break in the shoe. The upper material is breathable. Major problem is the tongue of the shoe- it moves around and it's very thin! They need to make a gusseted tongue with some padding. There were times in the lock down of the laces, I can feel the laces across the top of my foot- which irritated my foot. So disappointing! I want to say they should build up padding around the neck of the shoe for better lock down but I brought a half size lager because they don't make widths.

These have instantly become my favorite shoes to wear for speed workouts. The most comfortable upper and snug fit. I couldn't be happier with my Magic Speeds and I can't wait to try a lot more. Thank you Asics for another favorite running shoe!

Initial interval track session in the wet wasn't that great but manageable, great when tried in dry condition. It's a specialty type for speed workout as I have shoe rotation. I gave a try because the amazing holiday value deal and turn out all worth it.

Great shoe. Beautiful color. Amazing service. Keep up the great work.

Light and breathable but most of all RESPONSIVE! Really enjoying these during training runs. Not as cushioned as others but I am finding out that's not what I am looking for. Super easy to pick up the pace or dial into a HR Zone. The best shoes I have run in over the last couple of years.

I'm totally impressed by this sneaker, mainly because I suffer from chronic back pain and am on my feet either walking around or standing for long periods of time. They have, thus far, done the job of giving me all day comfort.

Nice, simple, easy, fit well, fun to run in, all in all felt like a nice shoe for the price.

Excelente sensacin al correr, muy cmoda y lindo diseo

Light and comfortable. Would highly recommend for speed training and half marathon races.

Got the shoe for a lightweight carbon plate shoe. I run in it often one of my favorites to run in. The plate doesn't pop much but it is firm and stiff. I under pronate while running and this shoe helps to correct this for me.

Used these for my first half marathon, felt great! Comfortable and fast throughout. Helped reach my goal time! Felt different than previous Asics shoes, but acclimated quickly.

This is my first carbon shoe and it was amazing. Super light and comfortable and priced more reasonable that other options

After running the Gel DS Trainer for several years (and before that the GT 2000), I tried the Magic Speed, and I am thrilled with them. The sizing on Asics, I discovered, is not consistent. But thankfully, they exchange at no cost. I run three times a week, between 4.5 and 15 miles. Compared with the DS Trainer, the Magic Speed is better cushioned, making the run smoother. I can't testify to any speed change or that the shoes propel the runner - one still has to do the running, no matter what the marketing people say.

Perfect running shoes to increase your speed. Its good for a training and a race under the marathon distances. Pure enjoyment to train in this light sneakers!

Overall great shoes. They really come to life at faster paces. Ordered a half size up to allow for more toe space.

Lightweight, fast, I use it for 15K and under and love it

What can I say, I got my PB (10K) in these bad boys. They took at least 10 miles to break in. Take it for some shorter runs at first because I did get some chaffing on my heels the first times out.

used them for a sprint triathlon, the feeling of the midsole felt great for the already tired legs and help a lot with running efficiency.
