- Is the Magic Speed 2 good for daily training?
- It works best for tempo runs and races. The firm plate and modest cushioning make it tiring for everyday easy miles; a daily trainer pairs better with it.
- How does it compare with the Metaspeed Sky?
- The Metaspeed is lighter, softer and built purely for racing. The Magic Speed 2 is firmer, more durable and better suited to repeated speed sessions.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most runners take their usual Asics size. The upper is snug, so wide-footed runners may want to size up or try it on first.
- Is it suitable for overpronators?
- No. It is a neutral shoe with no stability posting; runners needing support should look at Asics' stability line.
- What is the drop and weight like?
- It has an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and is one of the lighter plated trainers, which suits mid-to-forefoot strikers.
- Can I use it for a half marathon?
- Yes, many runners race 5K to half marathon in it. For full marathons, most prefer a more cushioned racer.
- Where is the Asics Magic Speed 2 M cheapest?
- At GOAT, for $235.00, as of our latest check.
