Verdict
For stride-length runners — the Sky is built to let your stride open up rather than turn over faster. Arguably the best all-round marathon shoe currently made.
■ Caution
ASICS splits the line by running style. If you race by increasing cadence rather than stride length, the Edge is the correct shoe and this one will feel wrong.
