- Is the Magic Speed 4 good for beginners?
- It suits newer runners moving into speed work, but the firm plate rewards decent form. Complete beginners may prefer a softer neutral trainer first.
- How does it compare with the Magic Speed 3?
- The 4 is lighter and uses FF Turbo+ foam in the forefoot for a livelier toe-off. The ride is firmer and more race-like than the 3.
- Can I use it for a marathon?
- It works for shorter races and tempo runs. For a full marathon, most runners want more cushioning, so the Metaspeed Sky or Edge is the better Asics pick.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It fits true to length but runs snug through the midfoot. Runners with wide feet should consider a half size up or a wider model.
- Is it a stability shoe?
- No. It is a neutral plated trainer and is less stable at slow paces than a traditional daily trainer.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes. Insoles are included; no extra laces or accessories.
- Where is the Asics Magic Speed 4 W cheapest?
- At GOAT, for $186.00, as of our latest check.
