Does not come in wide sizes. I tried to size up but that was a fail and had to return.

I've put about 50 miles on these over the last few weeks and while love the lightness and boy vines of these shoes, they hurt my toes to the point that I can't wear them anymore. I don't even have wide feet but think the toe box should be wider. I wish ASICS allowed you to test out shoes the way other brands do

Might work great for half marathon, but have run two marathons and both times have had badly hurting feet at mile 16. Wish I would have learned the first time.

Wanted to really enjoy these sneakers. As a fan of the Novablast series, I expected these to be a better version or extension of the same great product. Uncomfortable rubbing on the Achilles couldn't be ignored.

The tongue of these shoes has given me all sorts of problems. I love the feeling of the shoes but the struggle with the tongue gets the lower rating. I unfortunately would not buy again.

Not as plush as I would have hoped. I run in the Nimbus 25 so will stick with them

Great shoes. Light weight. I can fly in these shoes, but they are outrageously expensive!

After logging more than 300 miles in the Novablast 3 and hearing everyone's rave reviews about the Superblast, I had high hopes for this shoe. However, after making four orders to find the right size and fit, this shoe was meant for someone else. First off, the shoe is long. I usually wear a size 12.5 in casual shoes, so I initially ordered a size 13 based on ASIC's recommendation. However, I quickly realized size 13 was too big for me, so much so that I went down to a size 12 when making my second order. Of course, size 12 was too small for me; my toes were cramped in the toe box, and the shoe was too narrow for my right foot. For my third order, I thought I would find the sweet spot by ordering size 12.5, thinking the shoes were true to size. At first, all seemed well regarding the room in the toe box and shoe width. Unfortunately, I began to experience rubbing in my right pinky toe and heel bite in my left ankle, both of which I never seem to experience with running shoes. In fairness, I did find the most success with size 12.5 in terms of size, but the fit in all three sizes I tried was never there. Also, I experienced trouble locking down my heels and the laces in all three sizes. After driving myself mad, I ordered size 13 again, thinking this would solve my issues with the fit, but size 13 was still too big for me. It might be just me because I haven't heard of anyone with these issues. Still, based on my experience with three different sizes of this shoe, something has to give. Hopefully, Asics will improve on these issues in the second iteration of the shoe because I still would like to experience all the hype everyone has expressed for this shoe.

Superblast is really in awkwardI size issue. I bought my regular size US9 and felt loose, can't wrap my foot snug. After I exchanged to US8.5, it turned into short length to hit my toe. I have more than 10 pairs Asics in hand for now, and this is the third time to face size problem. The other 2 models are Magic Speed 2 and Noose Tri 15, both half size smaller.

Awesome shoe.. during dry conditions. When the ground is wet I am unable to wear these. The outsole doesn't provide enough traction on the mostly asphalt paths I use when conditions are anything but dry. I wouldn't buy the shoe again becasue of this.

Was initially very impressed with the energy return. However, had a very bad blister on pinky toes after my first long run. The shoe's upper is thin and airy but was less stretchy than competition. It is quite narrow around the toes if you have a wide feet.

Cannot buy these because the size range is too limited. Please produce in more sizes, up to 15, at least, please.

I'm a loyal Asics user but this shoe doesn't work for me. It's essentially a $220 Novablast 3 that's a but stiffer. I'm actually going to be returning this shoe

I get that shoe enjoyment is subjective, but I truly can't imagine how anyone would enjoy this shoe. I have ran in many different shoes and this is the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever used. It's clunky, slappy, and requires so much extra energy to move in. I couldn't imagine doing anything other than a slow and short recovery run in this, and for that there are way better options. If you are on the fence about buying this, I highly advise trying on in store first. Not a safe blind buy, despite the (paid?) hype from shoe influencers.

I was hoping these shoes would work for me, however they did not. I am not an experienced runner but I am training for a 10k. I purchased the Superblasts about 3 weeks into my training program as my main running shoes to replace my Brooks Glycerin 18s. The shoes are incredibly springy. You can feel the shoes wanting to propel you forward when just walking in them. They were light weight and felt very comfortable on my feet.
I should have done more research before purchasing. I am sure these are fantastic shoes for experienced runners on race day or when training for speed. Unfortunately, during my first and only run with these shoes, both knees felt pain and my left shin felt pain. I felt worn out quicker than I had during any other training run. Everything felt different about my foot strike and toe off. Once I went back to my Brooks Glycerins, the pain subsided and my run felt more normal. This may be the shoe for you, but do your research first to have a true understanding of super shoes.

These felt very large and clunky on my feet. Almost like I was running on thick pieces of wood. Not much give.if you like super stiff shoes these would be perfect for you.

The high heel stack height gave me excruciating lower back pain. I sent both pairs back today. Not the shoes' fault. From what I'm reading, the high heel heights tends to cause that.
