Asics Megablast: What the reviewers missed

The Asics Megablast is one of the most talked-about running shoes right now, but does it match the hype? And more importantly, is it worth the price?
In this Run With Benny episode, I cover the things I think reviewers have missed.
I’ve been running in the Megablast on roads, gravel and mild trails. It’s a massive shoe with a huge stack, surprisingly low weight and an incredibly springy ride. But it’s not perfect.
In this video I cover:
• How the Megablast really feels to run in at slow, steady and fast paces
• Why the firmness of the foam matters so much in a shoe this tall
• How it performs on trails and mixed surfaces
• Comfort, fit, laces, heel padding and lockdown
• The biggest drawbacks you should know about
• Breathability concerns for hot summers
• The heel “skirt” issue on trails
• And the big question: is this shoe worth the huge price
As always, Benny and I buy all our own shoes. No free pairs. No paid reviews. That matters, especially when price is part of the conversation.
If you’re considering the Asics Megablast, this video should help you decide whether it’s the right shoe for you.
