Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri™ 8

I'm usually a 9 or 9 1/2 in shoes. I chose 9 1/2 and the fit is perfect.I have long slim feet and often shoes look bulky on me but these are great. I bought them for running 5Ks, and took them for a short spin today and I'd say they are very breathable and needed no breaking time.Thanks Zappos these shoes reached me in 24 hrs!

I was very surprised at how cushioned these shoes were for light weight trail running type shoes. I spend over 12 hours on my feet at work and got very little grumbling from my back and feet at the end of my shift. The mesh is extremely breathable, I can feel the wind blowing through the shoes when I am outside walking. I do feel like these run a half size small, wish I ordered up instead of getting my usual size. They are very bright and draw a lot of criticism both good and bad for the color scheme. I would not have been typically drawn to these types of shoes except for they are so comfortable!

I ordered these at 3:30 on Monday got them by noon the next day, Amazing! Sneaker - Looks I gave them 5 stars because these are the best looking sneaker Asics makes. The Storm/lightning/mint color is by far the most attractive. Most of Asics sneakers I just don't like the looks. I decided to put these on and wear them around the house a little. Well thank god I did. The pain...my arches and heels. My foot throbbed when I took them off. I don't know, I had such high hopes for them. I loved them but they were painful. Such a shame. My old Asics fit so good, ugly, but were great all around gym sneaker - now discontinued. Back to the drawing board.

I have always liked my Asics, but these are cut too narrow. I need a wider toe box and these did not fit the bill. I even went up a 1/2 size, but then they were too long and still too narrow. I'll keep searching, as I need a perfect fit for plantar fascitis and mortons neuroma.

I bought these shoes and thought they were great until my running outfits turned up with mystery spots. I finally realized the black from the shoes is causing the black stains that I cannot get out.

So disappointing! I bought these in my regular size (11), but this is the first time that a pair of Asics have been way too narrow for my feet :( I felt like they were in a vise that kept getting tighter and tighter, I couldn't even stand in them for more than 15 minutes before having to shift my weight to stop the pain. Returned to Zappos immediately, hoping they come out with a 11.5 so maybe they'll be a little wider.

I only wear Asics and have never had a problem. I wanted to love these, but they the toe box is too narrow even ordering a half size larger than normal. I love the colors and everything about these except the fit.

Love the color and style. These shoes do fit smaller than normal. They are narrow. Was disappointed in the quality making of my right shoe. Only wore one days and the Asics logo on the tongue of the right shoe peeled off.

I have admired this running shoe for quite awhile. Unfortunately, the shoe is very small and not true to size. I even went up half a size and still does not fit.

I loved these shoes. I had to buy a .5 size bigger than normal. The shoes are a little narrower than some of my other running shoes. I wish they were a little wider and I don't have wide feet. overall a good shoe. They look great too!

I really wanted to love this sneaker because the colors were so fun and different. But the sizing was really off. I normally where a 7 1/2 in sneakers and this felt like a 7 a full half size smaller. So I ordered an 8 and that was to big! They were comfortable sneakers but the sizing was just off for me. Too bad because I loved the look of them, I ended up going with the Asic Gel Nimbus 14 which is so comfortable with amazing cushioning.

I loved the look of these and wanted them to work so badly but they were just so narrow. The outer edge of my foot was squashed as soon as I put them on. My feet are not especially wide. I wish they were available in wide!

Love the colorful design but these are way too small and very narrow. I have wide feet. Hoped to break them in a little, but no such luck. Ordered a half size up from my normal size.

I have purchased Asics GELs for a long time, and I have to say I was very disappointed in these shoes! The support/cushioning is not there. I wish I could return them; however, it isn't Zappos fault. A very cheaply made pair of Asics and I would not recommend them!

I love Asics workout shoes and won't buy any other brand. I loved the look of these and ordered with full confidence that I would love these as well, but have been very disappointed. They are stiff and uncomfortable with no cushioning. I have worn them to workout for a week thinking they would break in a bit not no luck. Since I have already worn them and thrown away my shipping box, I'm unable to return them, which is a bummer because I now have to order another pair of workout shoes just 2 weeks later.

So disappointing. These shoe looked so promising (and pretty!), but when they arrived, I found that they were extremely tight fitting and I couldn't stand in them for more than 5 minutes without having to constantly shift my weight to escape the pain they caused. I've always worn Asics before and I've never had to order a Wide Width size, but OUCH, it felt like my feet were in a vise once I put these on. I hate to return them especially since there are no size 11 wide widths in stock, but I just can't imagine wearing these again and being in that much pain.

I was so excited to get these shoes, and I knew the second I had them both on, they were no good for me. Very uncomfortable. On top of that. I'm pretty sure the right shoe was defective, because the tongue and laces didn't line up on top of my foot, like the left shoe. I've always worn the Nimbus series from Asics for running and aerobics and loved the funky colours of these shoes but I was wrong to stray away. I will be returning and in fact, have already received my new Nimbus 15's and they're awesome. Colours are awesome in this series though. I'll give them that!

I truly wanted to love these shoes. I love the bright colors and I was so excited that this shoe is recommended for pronators! My shoes arrived quickly with free shipping, a huge plus! I wore my shoes for my first run. I ran 6 miles which is a standard distance for me but by the end the balls of both my feet were in intense pain. This has never happened to me before so I chalked it up to it he shoes being new. I took these shoes out for another, shorter, run and I still had the same issues with the pain in the balls of my feet. On top of that, I could feel my feet pronating, no matter how many times I readjusted the laces. I ran in these shoes a few more times and noted that my hips and my knees started hurting after every run. At this point I was fed up and went back to my old running shoes, that have almost 500 miles on them, and I had no pain in my feet and my knees and hips felt great! I have since gone back to my old running shoes but I'm stuck with these ones that just don't work for me.

I usually wear a size 7 in all shoes and ordered a 7 1/2. Runs very narrow and very small. I could prob have used an 8 but am not taking the chance.

This is my second pair of these. They feel small and cheap! I used to Love Asics, now, not so much. They has really slipped with their quality and support.

I am 34 and have run a kabillion miles in Asics alone, size 9.5, since I was sixteen. I love Asics. I hated this pair. On my first and second runs in them, I was not impressed with the support or cushioning. On my third run, I walked barefoot the last 1.6 miles home because the blisters were so excruciating. The rainbow laces are so cool and they glow in the dark! But back to the Kayano...this will not work.
