Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll hold out until the new ones come out. I know the local rep so I'll see if I can get some inside info.
By the way, I won them in a half marathon and was wearing Asics Hyperspeeds. I got a couple of blisters and my calves are a bit sore, but I think it is mainly because I really only wear them for races. My everyday trainer is a Nike Structure Triax...very different! I ought to get my legs used to them a bit more.
Yes, it is a good idea to train in the shoes you'll race in.

I wore HyperSpeeds for a Turkey Trot 5 miler last year (on the roads). I felt like my feet could feel every step pounding on the road; the shoes felt like they had ZERO cushion. All I remember about that race is that the last mile hurt my feet like hell. I use a pair of HyperSpeeds for weekly workouts on the track, and they feel great there. Like I said before, really hard for me to imagine anyone wearing those on the roads. But I suppose my feet aren't meant to be in them. BTW I only weight about 120, so I don't think my weight is an issue with the shoes.
... Oh well, good to hear others having success with them.
