Customer Reviews ASICS Magic Speed 2

Outstanding walking shoe I walk 3-4 miles a day comfort fit and cushion

Really love these! Totally in for magic speed 3 !!!

Good cushion that takes 20-30 miles to break in. Breathable upper. Stack is taller and narrower feeling then I prefer

I'm not sure if they are affecting my arch or not yet.

Light and fast! Usually run in Nimbus-24 (tried Nimbus-25, completely different shoe, too slow), this definitely has more spring. Great for faster pace runs.

Love the firm forefoot cushioning and the lower toe to heel drop. However, the lack of arch support is evident, and the insole is not removeable. Adding an orthotic on top of the permanent insole makes the shoe too tight, even in the wide version. Please consider tweaking the insole design in future models

Not as good as Magic Speed 1 for me. Added cushion, but already had enough for me. Toe box area seems a little taller/roomier, but I thought the original was perfect, so that was another minus for me. Finally, got a blister on top of my foot first wear. Haven't had a blister from a shoe in I don't know how many years, but a long long time.

I was not aware that these shoes were for a pronated runner. Therefore, after a short time they would hurt my ankles.

The shoe isn't terrible. I think the shoe is trying to do something very well but comes up short. Maybe I need to buy the magic speed 3s. I really didn't notice the carbon plate much while running speed workouts and the foam is just okay. I do like the fit and comfort though. The laces were long for me and occasionally would hit the ground. Overall I think I was expecting more out of this shoe but it isn't terrible.

The shoes are comfortable, but they do not live up to their name; on the contrary, I feel much slower in these shoes.

Good but not great. Happy with the sale price. Feel a little awkward on my feet and I feel like I can't just relax and run. I spend the run paranoid about a bad step. A beautiful shoe though. I'll keep trying to make them work.

Wrecked my ankle - have run in other plated shoes. Unfortunately these have put me on the sidelines of marathon training causing pain in the Achilles and lower ankles.

As much as I wanted to love these for my up-tempo/speed workouts, they were UNBELIEVABLY firm. I can't return them anymore, so I will just pray that they ease up in the future.

Worst shoes ever ; don't buy them if don't want to risk a serious injury; especially if you're a serious runner.i am collage runner and I got PTT first time training with them.

I wore them two times and they beat my quads to death. Have never been in so much pain running. I run 40 miles a week and this was an awful experience. They made a very loud slap on the ground and I felt zero recoil for any "spring". Wont wear these ever again.

Terrible running shoe. 6 miles easy and my ankles hurt for over a week. Zero energy return. The base of the shoe doesn't support your whole foot, so it's like having to balance on the shoe the whole time. Hence the torn up ankles.
