I’ve had problems with my calves cramping in a few marathons. I was running in the original Sky and the Sky+. I’m heavy, about 185 pounds, so I tend to go to the softer shoes, although I ran in the original Endorphin Pro in 2020 and loved it! I took it up to a 23 mile training run with few issues–although that wasn’t 23 miles without stopping. I think I ran it in three or four segments. But I ran 1380 miles in 2020, far more than I do now. I ran a 3:35:20 marathon in November 2021.

So from what I’ve read, I need a high drop shoe which the Metaspeed is not. I was thinking I should switch to the Edge because with the shape of the plate and with it being lower in the foam, would it not mimic a higher drop shoe? If I sink farther into the foam on the Edge, then my forefoot would be more than 5mm lower than my heel.

What do you think?

I will second that the Edge runs quite small-about 1/2 size. As others said, I’ll deal with it. Also the Edge does have a very different feel than last years model. I actually prefer the “firmer” feel of the previous model vs the softness of this years.

The Edge Paris run 1/2 a size small vs. most other brands I wear an 11 in Saucony, Nike, Altra, NB, Hoka but needed to size up to 11.5 in these. When I checked the size charts it confirmed as the 11.5s are 129cm, same as Saucony size 11s.

I recently got the edge Paris. Same 11.5 as the edge+. The Paris definitely runs a touch short in length compared to the edge+. I’ll get away with it but important point
