The surface of the Earth is finite in size and has no edges. You can keep progressing forward without hitting an edge.

There have been recent studies which show that universe is probably "flat" though.
Or very slightly curved - measurements come with error bars, so we can't be sure if it's exactly flat. Also note that flatness and finite size are compatible in case of non-trivial topology (think of the flat torus - pacman world - which, however, is not isotropic).
