In today’s video we’re comparing two of the fastest marathon super shoes on the market — the Asics Metaspeed Ray and the Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3. Both of these carbon plate racing shoes promise speed, efficiency, and marathon-ready performance, but which one is really the best marathon shoe for you? I’ll cover comfort, fit, foam, and race-day feel to help you decide between the Metaspeed Ray and the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3. Let’s get into it. Let’s ave it!
uh get a nice bit of pop from the plate and decompression from the foam which rolls me forward with this early stage rocker. Whereas with the Puma shoe, I’m having to hit the ground harder. So for you heavier runners, this might work even better than it does for me. I’m having to land in this flatter area here and roll through with this aggressive later stage rocker. And I really feel this tip when I’m up on this forefoot, when I’m really going for it and I’m hitting the ground hard, I really feel this tip here of this plate bending and then flexing me forward.
