ASICS  Noosa Tri 16 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

Finally The shoe the Novablast 4 should have been

Feels like the old Novablast I loved and miss!! If you think the novablast 4 is hard as a rock and uninspiring like I do and miss the Novablast 1 and 2 this is your shoe. This shoe basically combines the things I liked from the first three Novablast years in one light bouncy shoe with a stretchy upper and a normal size heel . It fits true to size for me maybe slightly shorter than some other asics but has a less pointy toe box and maybe a little wider or a least feels that way because of the stretchy upper. I would guess it would accommodate many foot shapes. The tri 16 is a home run in my book.

Surprisingly great shoe.

Surprisingly good running shoe. I’ve seen the Noosa Tri around for many years, always wild colors and patterns, always eye catching. I was always happy with whatever I was running in at the time and always thought…maybe next time. Well, next time finally came and I decided to give the Noosa Tri 16 a shot. Let’s start with the fit…they’re a little on the snug side, I wear an 11 in everything and usually that works out just fine. The Noosa 16 fit more like a 10&3/4 than an 11. Nonetheless they’ve become my brick workout shoes with no socks and I’m really happy with them in that capacity. These shoes excel at every distance I’ve tried them at from a short speed workout to a 13-14mi easy pace day. They feel great for my midfoot strike, roll off the toe really nicely and the foam is amazingly smooth, soft, bouncy and comfortable. The upper breathes well and like I mentioned, 80% of my miles in these are barefoot and the liner of the shoe is soft, smooth and very comfortable.

Love them

I love the design. I love all the colorways of this shoe. So I thought that would be it but man, I really like running in this as well. I didn't not expect this to be such a good running shoe.

Great walking and running shoe!

Bought them a month ago and are absolutely great! Very comfortable, smooth and light. The run a bit small, but I just asked for a biggest size and we were all set!

Why fix what isn't broken???

You changed the tongue to now be thin material with a large hole in it so whatever socks you wear better match your shoes! 🙄 You also took away the anti collapse in the back and instead put a loop of material. Why fix what wasn't broken. The anti collapse was so much better. Colors this time are also lame and limited. I have exclusively switched to tri Noosa and never have commented to company before on shoes but this time I had to write you about it. What are you thinking????

Relatively fast, comfortable and well cushioned

I showed up to a 5k and realized I'd forgotten my race day shoes. There was a store nearby so I picked these up for the race. The fit was great. I have a narrow foot and these were perfect. The upper is stretchy and comfortable. Midsole was well cushioned, but firm and stable. I wouldn't call them plush, but I expect they'll do fine for runs to 10 miles or so. There is a big rocker in the forefoot and quite a bit of toe spring. Felt like it was rolling me forward, but nothing extreme and no pains. Finished the 5k within the top 10%. Not a personal best, but not the shoes fault. This is an excellent shoe. Probably not the best choice for a 5k, but reasonable. Not sure where they fit in my rotation, but daily trainer, tempo day or maybe even an occasional interval day will probably be fine.

Good not great

I like the shoes how lever they make noise when I walk. I loved the 14 better for the bold color, design and sole. I only like this 16 as I think the cole is too thick and it make noise when I walk on certain surfaces. The colors are too soft and light. Overall a good shoe but not Great in comparison to the 14.

SOLID TRI but no athlete 🏃🏿‍♂️👍🏿

Not as comfy as the 13, but solid! A lot of material for a size 15, that causes the toe to bunch up when tied. Also, inside the toe area the material hits the top of the toe. Overall, responsive, non-stiff fast shoe and lightweight.

A very good running shoe. Excellent off the toe, very supportive at heel strike; firm enough for a sprint, cushioning for at marathon.

Another winner

Beautifully ugly comfortable running shoe. I always get compliments on this shoe & i know its ugly but people are drawn to them. I wear a lot of black clothing so these shoes really pop out when i wear them in races or at the gym. I always buy 2 pairs to switch throughout the year but the blue ones are not as wild as the others so i might use that as one of my work shoes. They are just so comfortable. Ive even begun using one of my older pairs as my rowing sneaker. Its great not having to wonder what my next running shoe might be. NOOSA until they quit making them
