Asics Size Chart India: Metaspeed and Superblast Fit Guide
Asics trainers have a reputation for predictable, true to size fits, but the racing focused Metaspeed line breaks that pattern with a snugger, sock like fit built for speed rather than daily comfort. This guide gives you the conversion chart and the model specific call.

The one rule that fixes most sizing mistakes
Order true to size for daily trainers like the Superblast, and consider a half size up for the Metaspeed if you are between sizes. Asics's everyday running shoes are among the more predictable true to size fits in performance footwear; the Metaspeed's race day snugness is the one exception worth planning for.

Metaspeed, Superblast: fit notes by model
Metaspeed (Ray, Sky, Edge)
The carbon plated racing line. True to size for standard feet, half a size up if you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker socks. The upper is built sock like and snug for a locked in racing feel, which is intentional rather than a sizing mistake, but leaves less margin than a daily trainer if you order the wrong number.
Superblast (and Megablast)
A cushioned daily trainer sharing some of the Metaspeed's foam technology in a more forgiving package. True to size in both length and width, with slightly more volume in the toe box than the racing line. This is the easier of the two to size confidently without extra adjustment.

India specific fit considerations
Racing versus daily use. If you plan to actually race in the Metaspeed, keep the fit true to size or only nudge up half for a genuinely snug fit issue, since a locked in feel is part of what the shoe is built for. If you are buying it primarily for the look or occasional runs, the half size up trades some performance precision for daily comfort.
Foot width. Both lines accommodate Indian foot widths reasonably well at true to size, with the Superblast being the more forgiving of the two given its wider toe box.
Every pair from the Asics collection at Kicks Machine is inspected in house before it ships, size stamp checked against the box label.
Care tip: racing uppers need gentler handling than daily trainers
The Metaspeed's lightweight racing upper is thinner than the Superblast's daily trainer mesh, built for weight savings over durability. A well fitted pair reduces the flexing that wears thin racing uppers early. Our sneaker care collection has cleaning products suited to both lightweight racing mesh and daily trainer uppers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Asics run true to size?
For daily trainers like the Superblast, yes, in both length and width. The Metaspeed racing line fits snugger by design, so a half size up helps if you are between sizes on that specific model.

The size numbers use a comparable US, UK, EU scale, but always check the specific chart for the brand you are converting from since small differences in foot length per size exist between brands. Use the cm column above as your most reliable reference.What size should I order if I plan to race in the Metaspeed?
True to size, unless you know you need extra room for thicker socks or have needed a half size up on other Asics racing shoes before. The snug fit is part of the shoe's race day performance, so avoid sizing up purely for daily comfort if racing is your primary use.Closing thoughts
