Probably the 24mm stack height is incorrect and WA must have messed up their first measurements. :/<br /> https://www.worldathletics.org/download/download?filename=5c1bd2f4-17e0-4601-9de2-1eee189e9416.pdf&urlslug=World%20Athletics%20Shoe%20Compliance%20List%20(as%20at%203%20October%202020)quillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081568921304398584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-45472701616683565112020-10-05T16:09:03.410-06:002020-10-05T16:09:03.410-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.quillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081568921304398584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-40179085477644742892020-10-04T14:33:26.499-06:002020-10-04T14:33:26.499-06:00I have heard back from Works athletics and it was ...I have heard back from Works athletics and it was suddenly just a mistake in the chart, which has now been corrected 👍Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064135785430972833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-73367768169377069422020-10-03T14:28:38.210-06:002020-10-03T14:28:38.210-06:00World Athletics produced a list of shoes that can ...World Athletics produced a list of shoes that can be worn for different events as of 23rd September 2020.

I suspect that it will be somewhat similar to MetaRacer with a similarly softer bouncy heel but I think forefoot will be firmer as Lightstrike is firmer than FlyteFoam based on our testing of the SL20.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-6747705608983089032020-04-11T00:44:09.408-06:002020-04-11T00:44:09.408-06:00How does it compare with the adidas adizero pro?

I didn't find the MetaRacer particularly narrow.<br /><br />@Anonymous - I've never worn the Boston (shame on me, I know) but purely in terms of cushioning, I would say it feels akin to the newer Kinvara line, but with some added firmness (or rigidity) at the toe-off. I think if you can run 26.2 in the Kinvara, it's likely you can readily do it in the MetaRacer, unless adding the carbon plate changes your gait sufficiently that you end up using new muscles, etc., in which case you may need some longer training runs to suss it out.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297325506624687004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-30086982878960311242020-03-31T21:51:53.174-06:002020-03-31T21:51:53.174-06:00Im interested in the metaracer but have been runni...Im interested in the metaracer but have been running in the adidas boston and the saucony kinvara series for a few years now. is the meta comparable to those shoes in terms of cushioning and softness (with a carbon plate)? or is it firmer?

Sam, as we have the same shoe size, can you mesure you feet at the widest, to give me an idea of the toe box's room, which is as important as the length to me.

I feel confident that the ASICS will be a more aggressive platform than the TC (as it's more of a trainer/racer hybrid) but I'll let others add more!<br /><br />Now following, if others have questions.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297325506624687004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-84377111120929673572020-03-31T07:47:02.496-06:002020-03-31T07:47:02.496-06:00Thanks guys for the amazing and detailled review! ...Thanks guys for the amazing and detailled review!
