I live on my feet between massaging people and walking my puppy. I needed to replace my Gel-Trabuco's after about 6-8 months of use. I ordered 5 pair of Asics to compare and contrast. I tried them on at the end of a long day. This is my opinion (listed in the order I tried them on): 1. Gel Pulse 3: Good, solid, basic sneaker. Felt supportive and cushiony enough. Aesthetically pleasing. Ended up as choice #2. See Gel-Landreth for more details. It lost to Gel-Train Sensor because out of the box if felt a little too much like the Trabuco's I'm replacing, in their current state. 2. GEL-Landreth 6: Nice! Soft, comfy, love the heel cup! Very attractive. Felt awesome on the rug, a little lumpy on the wood floor and the heel is def lower on these than the others. Tried them on again after the first round, tried one left foot with a Gel-Pulse right foot and vice versa. The Pulse felt like a more substantial shoe, the Landreth almost strikes me as a shoe that could be used for sprinting. 3. Gel-Nimbus 12: No real opinion on these, not comfy not uncomfy. I wanted to like them but they didn't hold a candle to the first two pair I tried on. 4. Salomon XT Wings 2: My least favorite pair and I knew it the moment I slid my foot in. Felt like balloons, very roomy inside, kind of stiff last, overall very uncomfortable. 5. Gel-Trail Sensor 4: Divine shoes! Comfortable the moment I slipped my foot in, supportive yet soft and flexible. The difference between walking on the rug and wood floor was practically undetectable. Felt like I was walking on air. Kind of a tripped out, uber supportive slipper. I'm a solid side 10 and this 10 feels a tad smaller than the other 10s. If you're actually running in them, consider a 1/2 size larger.

These shoes are adequate at best. I was disappointed by both the appearance and fit. The mesh is bright white, with metallic silver and florescent pink trim, far from the colors pictured on the website. The fit is true to size but the shoe lacks cushioning. They aren't uncomfortable but could definitely be a lot better.

Great shoes for solid arch support. I had plantar fasciitis so I have to make sure my shoes encourage proper pronation. These shoes have helped keep my feet properly oriented when running. This is my third pair and the best shoes I've ever worn. They are light; like wearing nothing on my feet. And they clean up well with mild soap and soft brush. Love 'em!

These are the best running shoes that I have ever worn. I have a high arch and plantar fasciitis and this shoe supports my arch and cushions my feet very well. I will never go back to Nike.

One of the things I most like about Asics and especially the Pulse series is their consistency. This was my third Gel-Pulse and they have consistently maintained sizing and the cushion level. Other features I particularly like are the low cut around the ankle bone and it is one of the few shoes that fit my narrow heels well enough. I like the large amount of mesh, keeping the shoe breathable. This shoe doesn't have too much cushioning and the arch support is just right for me.

Have you ever had to stop running because your feet were hurting? Or you couldn't wait to make it to that 3 mile mark so you can stop because of uncomfortable shoes? That has never happened to me in my Asics Gel-Pulse 3. I started out buying Asics, then tried a few other brands, and ended up going back to Asics because no brand was the same. I do a lot of running and training for sports, so I wear these shoes for long distance runs, sprints, and short lateral movements/change of direction. No matter what type of workout I'm doing my Asics always make it as comfortable as possible. The shoe is very roomy in the toe area so my toes never felt crammed together. They have a lot of cushioning on the heel which helped for running and jogging. These shoes are very durable as well, I put these shoes through a lot and I only buy 2 or 3 of them in a year. The downfall to these shoes are that they aren't very aesthetically pleasing. I bought another pair of tennis shoes to wear for day to day use that are a lot cuter. These are great for runners and athletes.

I bought these on a podiatrist's advice when I was having foot problems. I have since developed knee problems due to these shoes. I am sure they may be great for some people but not for me. After having worn them for a few weeks I only wish I could return them. I am not sure that there is anything inherently wrong with these shoes, it seems to be fairly lightweight and comfortable enough to walk around in, but if you are going to buy running shoes for more than trips to the grocery store, do not buy them from a website unless you have already worn that style before. Now that my old style is out of production, I am going back to my local running store to buy a new pair. These are now going to collect some, very expensive, dust in my closet.

I lvove these shoes! I am a nurse and am on my feet all day. These shoes are very comfortable, and do not make your feet hot. I have bought this same style of Ascis for years now, and have tried other shoes. None even come close to the comfort of these shoes.

Love the Asics Gel-Pulse 3. Very comfortable with excellent support. I bought the shoes so I could walk/run my first half marathon. After 13.1 miles, my feet didn't hurt. And the customer service from Zappos was amazing. Thank you Zappos.

Very comfortable for walking/running/working out. I have very wide feet, and these shoes are flexible enough to be comfortable. They also have room to accommodate orthotics, which is great. I would recommend ordering up a full size - Even my short toes needed more room than was provided by my usual 7. Ordered an 8 and it fits great all around.

These rock, and really help you feel the ground, but don't buy them for everyday sneakers or take them hiking (i made that mistake) or for aerobics classes (i made that mistake as well). They are a RUNNING shoe, so they don't have a ton of support, and are meant to be sleek and comfortable and cushiony, but not overly supportive. They're built for speed! Also, I normally wear an 11 or a 12, but should have ordered an 11.5 or an 11... the 12s are a bit too big. Order a half size to one size down!

I bought these to replace the original Gel-Pulse. They seem to be very similar, comfortable, good support. I am happy with them so far. FYI, in the photo they look red and grey, but they are definitely hot pink!

Love this shoe, however, with this style of Asics I had to order a half size bigger than I normally wear. Also, with a discontinued style of Asics I did not have to add extra arch support, with this one I do. Not as flat as some other shoes but definitely not as much arch support as I need with my heel spurs.

I have always been a Nike person, but after these I will never go back. It is like wearing a glove on my feet. I have a bad back and with the arch support my back doesn't hurt as often as it does when I wear other shoes. I highly recommend.
