Asics Sonicblast 2 review: what runners say
Fit
True to size with medium volume. Engineered mesh upper is secure, but toe box width is limited; runners with wide feet may feel compression.
Feel
Structured and stable ride. Compound is responsive, not overly soft, with a fluid transition aided by the rocker and a forefoot pod that engages at faster paces.
Durability
Above-average expectations (>500-600 km). AsicsGrip outsole is durable on asphalt, with minimal midsole wear after initial testing.
Best for
Super trainer for quality workouts: tempo runs, marathon-pace efforts, interval training, and long runs with speed variations.
Weak points
Stiff or 'slapping' sensation at very slow paces; fit can feel too snug for runners with wide feet.
