Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Pulse® 3

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.

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!

The Asics Gel-Pulse 3 are fantastic. I usually wear Kayanos but thought I would try these since my left toe goes through the Kayano within one week. The size is correct it is just the way the Kayano is made. The Gel Pulse 3, however, is great all around. I run between 8-10 miles a week and do interval training for about the same and these are great on my feet.

Shoe is true to size and extremely comfortable. Love the free shipping!

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.

I love these shoes! I am on my feet for 8 hours a day and they make my feet feel wonderful! I ordered a size up just because I am kind of in between and 11 and 12. The best part is that I didn't even have to break them in before wearing them all day at work! Highly recommend these!

I'm on a quest to replace "the perfect shoes that got worn out" and this is the closest so far. Out of the box, it seems to have nice cushioning. I wear an 8 or 7.5 and ordered an 8 but it's too big. Too bad Zappos is out of 7.5s.

Love these shoes. Bought two pair of comparable Asics at once, kept both but this is definitely the favorite pair! Super comfortable shoe.

I wear these shoes to jog on a treadmill and they are very comfortable. I have high arches and find that Asics provide the best arch support for me. They are the only running shoe I buy.

Super comfortable shoes! They ran a bit big on me. I usually wear a 9, which is what I ordered. Depending on the sock, they can feel big, I should have sized a 1/2 size down but I still love them and recommend them. I also have a normal to narrow foot and these are great as I've found a lot of running shoes to be too wide and roomy on me. If you have wide feet, they might now work. Very cushiony and I think they look great with black yoga or running pants/shorts!

Absolutly love these shoes! I am on my feet all day and these shoes are very comfortable. this is the second pair I've bought!

I am very happy with these shoes. My feet have never felt so good. Thank you for offering size 12.5. I will be back for more!

Love these pumped up kicks. Super comfy and my inserts fit inside like a glove. Super snazzy and dazzly. Go out and get yourself a pair!

This is my third pair of Asics Gel-Pulse. I have worn the Gel-Pulse 2 for two years. They fit well, are comfortable to run in and look great. I have terrible feet and these are the best runners I have tried.

I had been walking 4 miles daily for two years, yet I had never tried Asics before a friend told me that they would help clear up a sudden and first case of plantar fascia. And they did. Now all I wear are Asics, and particularly this model. My only wish is that Asics would make a prettier shoe for exercise. There's no reason why we can look as good as we feel.

These are great shoes for my daughter's everyday shoes. Very comfortable.

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.

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!

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!

These are great shoes. I love the gel. It makes for an incredibly comfortable day. I wear them frequently and have no complaints.

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.

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.

Great all-round sneaker. Good for my wide foot and high arch. Very happy with the purchase and super happy with Zappos.

These shoes are amazing - they have helped my heel pain tremendously, the cushioning is great.
