These definitely make it easy to get great toe-off and turnover when you really pick up the pace—you’ll feel fast—but it won’t fight you if you run slower. You may not quite feel like you’re getting an assist at a slower pace, but you are. The Sky+ may give that feeling more for slower or lower cadence runners: I’m going to find out by getting a pair because of how much I liked the Edge+. Gonna find out if I prefer turnover vs bounciness, cadence vs stride.I’d say these run true to size. I wear men’s 7 shoes, 7.5 for running, but bought 8s because of various reviews saying they run a bit small. The 8s are a tad big, but workable with runner’s loop lacing. 7.5s would’ve been perfect.

As a runner with more of a stride speed style (Metaspeed Sky+ recommended for that), I like the edge because the curvature feels like it forces me into smaller, more frequent strides. This is helping me develop a faster pace. If I try to long-stride take off, it's harder to do in these shoes because of that curvature so I really focus on pace vs. longer strides when I run faster. Currently using these as a practice shoe twice a week and will consider using this or the Sky+ in future half marathon or marathon.For comfort and lightweight feel, these shoes are definitely impressive as a 200lb runner. Color pattern and tangibles are solid thus far.

I swear by MetaSpeed Sky, and in additional I am very high cadance runner. That's why I though that MetaSpeed Edge would have even more impact on both my speed and my endurance. The shoe didn't disappoint - it delivers everything that MetaSpeed Sky did. However, I was expecting it would deliver more for me, given its built for cadance runners ( my cadance is 180 on easy runs, and over 200 on hard ones). But I didn't see any difference to MetaSpeed Sky in this respect. Otherwise, it feels slightly lighter and less bouncier than Sky.
