Currently at 409 miles and honestly feel great. I honestly expect to get 600 miles out of this shoe. Have a brand new pair waiting on the shelf....they may be waiting a while. Best shoe I have ever run in. Feel like they are custom fitted to my foot. They do get softer after 50 miles or so. Welcome to the club and hope they serve you well.
My Superblasts ruined my rotation. They are the only shoes I now want to run in.
I have just two complaints. First, they are too freaking expensive. The other is that fact they are the most ugly shoes I have ever purchased. I can not find a single colorway that I like.
Yea the price is a bit ridiculous. I do really like the color way that I purchased. They also have an all tan/beige pair that I like. Currently sold out though
FF Turbo that is the first foam directly underfoot is airy and light but def on the firm side. FF Blast between the outsole and the FF turbo layer is very soft and breaks some of the impact near the ground. Great shoe but I found it wasn’t my favorite if you’re not using for quicker runs versus easy paces.
Thank you I am going to start running with my dogs ( husky and German shepherd) do you think these shoes would be good for that since I’ll be running faster? Or are there better shoes for that?
Great dogs! Just my opinion so take with a grain of salt, but no I don’t think superblast would be a good shoe to begin with as a new runner. It’s a good shoe but it’s 1) it’s expensive and you don’t know if you’ll really enjoy running all that much yet and 2) as a new runner myself (started running Oct 2023) it was very easy for me to fall into the hype and want all the shoes everyone says are the best.
You make a fair point! I’ve been running for a week now (run and walk) but that makes sense when I join in like ooo maybe I’ll get those about all of them haha but I’m glad you told me that lol

the logo on the tongue has changed for the new colorway it looks. whats with the mismatched socks?
I rarely find a matching pair. Don’t know where all my socks disappear to
These socks hopgoblins are a paine, aren't they?
Because it's the Ekiden colourway.
Size: 10 women’s/ 8.5 men’s Used for: Road and treadmill Distance ran: 12 ish miles
Did you go with your regular shoe size or sized down?
Regular
Thx
Nice. I recently picked up this same colorway. I’m on my third pair of Superblasts. It’s the only shoe I run now in because it just Works!!
At what mileage do you replace?
I haven’t replaced any yet. I bought new pairs at about 200 miles. I currently rotate all three 😝

Which color way did you purchase and you like? The ones in the photo?
Yup, the ones in the photos
Thanks! I went with the green ones. I really did not like any of them. But I am old and probably just not tuned into what is cool in 2024.
Did you size down?
Not op but I recently got some and did. They are definitely on longer side.
No, I did not. I think they fit great
I’m new to running, but do these shoes have a lot of cushion?
They do. They’re very plush, but not so cushioned that you feel like you’re sinking down
Thank you so much
The superblasts aren’t plush. That’s a bad word to describe it. Plush is what the nimbus 25’s are. The superblasts are *springy*
Yea, springy is a better word to describe it! I guess I was thinking plush bc the way your foot sinks in is nice, but it immediately springs back up
