Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri™ 9

I just received my Asics Gel Noosa Tri 9 running shoes. These are my first pair and they do stand true based on the reviews I read. I did notice that it was a bit difficult to get into the shoe (I am wide footed). However, it fits perfectly to be a medium-width shoe. My arches don't hit one bit, and I do have wiggle room for my toes. You do have to order a size up (because of the narrowest of the shoes if you have wide feet), but it is still worth it. I love the colors which makes me want to be even more active.

So far I like these shoes. They are comfortable, look good, and I believe will work well. I do suggest ordering a half size up.

Great shoes. Very bright fun to wear. I would recommend sizing up. They do run a bit small and in my opinion narrow. I am a nurse and on my feet long hours. Great support through heels and cushion!

I loved the look of this shoe, so I was hoping it wouldn't bother my bunion. A narrow heel and a wide toe box is always best. These shoes do have a narrow heel, but the toe box wasn't wide enough. It's back to either Saucony, Ryka or Brooks.

I have two pair of these! One for working out and one for work. I Stand 10-12 hours most days and these are great for that as well as the gym. It did take about two full days of wear to "break them in" but once I did they were great. Before they were broken in they felt a half size too small but loosened up with wear. I ordered my usual size and they fit great!

If you buy these shoes, everyone will notice and love them! I am an fitness instructor and they match everything. On the comfort side, I wish they had just a little more support for jumping (bootcamp, etc) but I put my orthotics in them and they are improved.

Awesome looking sneakers! Colors even more vibrant in person. Elastic laces they come with are great. I did develop pretty severe ankle pain after running in them a few times, which may or may not be related to the shoes. It's tough to say for sure. They do not have as much shock absorption as some of my other sneakers which may be part of the issue for me.

Loved the shoe and the color. I ordered a 9 1/2 and sadly I need a 10! I usually wear a 9 shoe, so these were very short. I also have a very narrow heel and my foot kept coming out of the back of the shoe.

I've bought those shoes because I like the colors, they are not so comfortable for me, I need stability shoes, those has support but not enough for me. Comparing to my brooks running shoes they are less comfortable.

Love the look of this shoe and it feels great. However, the tongue is not sewn in along the sides so the tongue tends to fold over/under creating pressure and discomfort along the top of the foot. Not a problem when I have time to straighten the tongue, but in a rush it's an annoyance.

Loved the materials used, but very disappointed in the sizing and comfort. I have not had a pair of Asics in a long time. I loved my last pair. These were too short and too narrow for an "M". The toe box was much less roomy than my old Asics. I ordered up a half size, but my toe was all the way to the end of the shoe. I had to let the laces out so much I could barely tie them. I don't think I could wear a wide, as my heels are very narrow. I liked the style and colors. Will try another style.

In the past I have loved my Noosa Asics, but this pair is like a size too small and very snug. Disappointed to say the least.

I loved these shoes but will sadly have to return them. Asics are my brand of choice for exercise and some of them run a little short. These are about 1/2 size off of my others.

I saw these on a friend and loved them but these are fakes. The colors on the sides should be patent leather like the blue around the laces. I am sending them back. I am disappointed in Zappos.

I'm so sorry to be returning these shoes! I love the Tri8 Gel-Noosa's but these make my feet go numb while on elliptical. I want the old ones back!

I sent this ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri version 9 back.. They drastically changed it from version 8 . I wear Version 8 and the design holes are on the topside (outer most layer) of the shoe and the fabric was soft so very comfortable...On This new version 9 they put the holes inside right next to your toes (inner most layer) and the fabric is more like a plastic which can cause blisters as the holes rub your skin and can also catch on your toe nails even through socks. That designer should be fired...

Bought these in June and didn't try on until August. Too bad! Usually wear Asics 11 no problem but this style ran short :-(. Have to return.
