FAQs

Who is the ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ for?

These trainers are designed for adult male runners looking to improve their performance and achieve faster times, particularly in races. They are best suited for runners with a high cadence.

What is the main benefit of the carbon plate?

The full-length carbon fiber plate helps to improve running economy by stabilizing the foot and providing a propulsive feel, encouraging a faster turnover.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, they are suitable for marathon racing and faster training runs within a marathon training block. However, for very high mileage daily training, a more durable, less specialized shoe might be preferred.

How do I clean my Metaspeed Sky+ trainers?

Clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the difference between Metaspeed Sky+ and Metaspeed Edge+?

The Metaspeed Sky+ is designed for runners with a higher cadence, emphasizing a longer stride. The Metaspeed Edge+ is designed for runners with a lower cadence, focusing on smooth transitions and longer strides.

Can I use these for everyday running?

While possible, their specialized design is best suited for speedwork and racing. For daily mileage, a more cushioned and durable trainer might offer better comfort and longevity.

What size does this guide refer to?

This specific guide details the ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ trainers in a Men's UK size 6, white and black colorway.

Troubleshooting

Reduced responsiveness

Ensure the shoes are properly fitted and consider if the cushioning has naturally broken down over extensive use. For newer shoes, ensure you are running with sufficient intensity to engage the carbon plate.

Discomfort or blisters

Try wearing different socks or adjusting the lacing pattern. Some runners may need a break-in period. If discomfort persists, these shoes may not be the best fit for your foot type or running style.

Slipping during runs

Check the outsole for excessive wear. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (road). Clean the outsole if it becomes clogged with mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
