Amazing "do-it-all" running shoe
"Comfortable for easy sessions, for intervals, worn them for a half marathon, but they really shine during tempo sessions and Sunday long runs, especially when I want to pick up the pace slightly. Previously wore SB and SB2, now onto my third pair of Megablasts."
— Nicholas T. (5/5)
The hype is real!
"These live up to the type that precedes them. I debated whether I needed to add to my current rotation that include the Superblast, Novablast & Metablast (yes, I’m an ASICS fan) but these are quickly becoming my new favourite. They have great energy return yet I feel I have enough support underfoot for the longer kms."

True to size and versatile
"True to size and versatile for different types of runs. However, I experienced some rubbing on the top of my foot and a blister under my big toe. The upper could be more comfortable."

As I expected from asics
"As I expected from asics good quality shoe, good price, going to use for faster worker Fast delivery no complaints here. Got a good deal thanks to pace athletic, will definitely buy from here again"

Best everyday running shoe
"Overall, I’m really impressed with the ASICS Megablast! So far, I’ve taken them out for a 7 km outdoor run as well as a couple of short 2 km warm-up runs on the treadmill, and they performed exceptionally well on both surfaces. They feel extremely lightweight, provide solid energy return, and offer great support without feeling restrictive. The lockdown and grip are spot on. Definitely a versatile and comfortable running shoe!"

Awesome shoe, very happy! Bought
"Awesome shoe, very happy! Bought as a replacement for everyday/long runs. Feels very supportive when running despite a very big stack. Would buy again."

Best all rounder runner
"I’ve had two pairs of these, they’re the best for all types of running, great support, super light and responsive. It’s always a good run in megablasts!"

The only shoe you’ll need
"I don’t normally like high stack shoes but I liked the Megablast from the first run. For most, this is the only shoe you’ll need for all training, it’s that versatile. It does everything well at all paces, and is nice and cushioned without being mushy. Its ideal use though is progressive long runs or long sessions with mixed paces, but equally at home on easy days too. However, if you did want to build a rotation around it, all you’d need is a dedicated racing shoe (if you’re worried about the race legality of the stack) and something more nimble for workouts. Could be a little unstable at slow paces for some, and the toe box taper might be an issue, but I have wider feet and I was perfectly fine in my normal size. Loses one star for value at full retail price, but given its versatility, it’s more justifiable than a pure racing shoe at the same price."

Unbelievable shoe. My absolute go
"Unbelievable shoe. My absolute go to. Mine are coming the end of the life, put about 1. 5km in them. . . time for a new pair and yes it will be the MegaBlasts again. They can't be beaten"

Perfect non-plated
"It was a perfect replacement for Superblast 2 only much better. Unlike the Superblastt 2, the Megablast doesn't have the slappy feel and sound. The Megablast is much lighter. I decided to go half size higher based on other people's experience with the toe box. Had a few fast runs with it already and it is a perfect non-plated fast shoe."
