Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.

0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
-
Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low
19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
-

24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.

Stability Running Shoes
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.
Product Details:
The ASICS METASPEED Edge Tokyo moves with impossible quickness, like its legendary namesake city. This carbon-plated marathon shoe is tuned to deliver the performances of your life for 26.2 miles or any road distance you want.
Sharing the spotlight with its equally elite siblings, the METASPEED Ray and METASPEED Sky Tokyo, the Edge Tokyo differentiates itself with a forward-angled carbon plate that scoops lower under your forefoot. Geared towards fast-stepping runners, this geometry generates incredible forward propulsion for higher cadences.
Sandwiching the carbon plate, two layers of superfoam deliver stunning energy return. Reversing the Sky Tokyo's setup, the Edge Tokyo debuts phenomenal FF LEAP for its top layer. Thanks to the scoop-shaped plate, you'll enjoy this thicker layer of soft foam between your forefoot and the plate. Complemented by FF TURBO PLUS underneath it all, you'll experience your fastest speeds easier, and longer, than ever.
To transmit all your power to the ground, its ASICSGRIP outsole creates confident grip for high-speed cornering. Securing your foot comfortably, the ultralight MOTION WRAP 3.0 upper ensures you feel fully connected to your exceptional racing experience.
