best running shoes I’ve owned! I absolutely love these shoes. excellent support but in such a lightweight shoe, very stable and comfortable. excited to take them for a spin for a half marathon soon!
I bought these a few days ago and im loving these shoes so far! I use these to run everyday and they have good cushioning. They are very good for anyone looking to buy good daily trainers.
The best comfort to keep me going at LA Marathon. My feet were never in pain at all and I felt like I was flying on clouds the whole time. Definitely recommend. I did size down half a size which I woildnt do again but other than that the shoe is perfect and the pink color made my outfit so much cute.
I went to a running specialist, who recommended these shoes for my feet. I bought them & so glad I did! They feel amazing and I haven’t had any weird aches since running in them!
Like the title of this review states, I have bad feet. I have high arches and an under supinated gait. I'm also a theme park junkie, and desperately needed a pair of sneakers that can see me through a 22,000 step day at one of parks. I have quite a few Asics, but these are the softest I've ever had. They are extremely lightweight but provide great support. I literally sighed in relief the first time I stepped into these. I have not worn them at night, so I'm unsure if they glow in the dark.
Excellent shoe as I wear it to touch to give out pew bound parishioners at my Catholic Church and then go out to give communion to home bound Wonderful shoe to wear with my suit to walk around and stand in a circular church then drive a mile to a parishioners house to give out communion to a homebound person be in comfortable all drss up in a three piece suit with my ASICS on and not having dress shoes on that hurt my feet when I walk around the church plus going to someone home and spending quality toe with them and give them communion only to have my aching feet wanting to get out of those dress shoes.O am so happy to have my ASICS on and not have to change and don’t even know I have them on.
I just got these shoes and ran in them for the first time. They are so comfortable. I've owned many many pairs of Asic shoes throughout the years and these may be the most comfortable ones yet. Very lightweight, roomy toe space, amd I didn't have any joint discomfort running. The only thing I wish is they had more vibrant colors.
I have been running in Brooks Ghost for years, and, after doing a lot of research online and reading great reviews, decided to try these out. At first, they were promising, lots of cushion felt great. But left insole felt uneven, particularly in the toe box, definitely different from the right. I figured it would even out after a few runs. It has not. In fact, I have pain in my first MTP joint after my runs, which I have never had before. They are not quite as comfortable as my Ghost's, despite all the cushioning. The shoe design tends to push the foot forward in the shoe when running which I find a bit annoying and uncomfortable. I wish I could return them. Brooks has a 90 day trial period, another plus.
Another fabulous daily trainer from ASICS! This is my favorite Novablast yet; lightweight, more nimble and trim, ridiculously comfortable midsole foam, secure lockdown design, fun energy return, and beautiful construction.
Excellent bounce, feels like it’s encouraging you to go further and very responsive to ground contact. Did a half marathon with this straight out the box and I am thinking of getting my second pair 👍🏼
