Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-DS Trainer™ 25

This is a very comfortable and light weight shoe, will definitely purchase again.

Good shoe very comfortable and supportive , arrived quick, fit to size

Great fit. Fortunately I had another pair of ASICS to base my size off of and although they are different styles it was nice that the size was consistent. I like the snug feel of these shoes especially for a trainer style. I don't feel my foot move around which I like. The only "con" I have is that I have a flatter foot and the arch on this shoe is a little more than I need. However, after wearing them for a while the insole started to form to my foot so no issues.

The best running shoes, my husband is on pair #5 he loves them so much.

Have been wearing Gel ds trainers since they first came out. Other than a few versions they have always been great. Probably went through over 100 pairs. Have them on right now. This is the second pair of trainer 25. A little firmer sole than #24. Thing I have always liked about these shoes is you can run in them right out of the box. Great shoe.

Best running shoe I've owned! I needed new shoes because I recently started to get into longer distance running and the shoes I was using before were worn and not meant for the increased mileage I was putting on them. I had started to develop ankle and upper foot pain, causing me to take a couple weeks off. I went for a run again the day after I received these and what a difference! They are a tad bit heavier than my previous shoes, but the support, comfort, and glide/bounce I get from these far outweigh the hardly noticeable extra weight. After using these, I can definitely tell the pain I was experiencing before was due to the shoes I was using. All it took to fix the issue was a pair of Asics! This is the first pair I've purchased from this company, but have a feeling they will not be my last.

Nice shoes. My husband thinks they are comfortable and great for running.

One of the most comfortable shoes I've had. Perfect for running and any sport as well

These shoes are snug and form fitting. They are very comfortable and I love the colors.

I used to love the DS Trainer, then asics changed them to be more like their full support shoes. I hopped around looking for a suitable replacement, but nothing was as good as my Asics. I'm so glad that they brought back their more classic style lightweight trainer. This shoe not only feels fast, but the flashy new upper makes it look fast. It combines the perfect combination of comfort and support with weight and drop (they also go great with all of my other Boston gear). I use these for my track workouts and the occasional short race. My only gripe was that the ran a little large, so I probably could have gone down a half size.

Probably one of the best running shoes I've owned. You can feel them propulse you forward. However, the reasons I didn't give the 5 stars is because the tongue of the show hurts my ankle at times and needs to be adjusted when tightened. They're not the most or least comfortable but they make a solid running show, especially on track.

Shoe runs a bit large. I've owned countless Asics in the same size over the past decade and this is the first pair I've purchased where the size is not true to every other pair in my closet. Consider going a half size smaller.

Runs just a little small. Nice support for over pronation

Good training shoe for competitive runners. Could also be used for racing but a bit heavy. Not a shoe for everyday or casual use.

Good training shoe. Relatively light. Would not recommend for a heavy runner or a casual runner. Good for doing intervals on pavement and long training runs. Can race in them but really a bit heavy for that. Durability is so so. I get between 175 and 250 miles out of a pair.

They are fulfilling the need for a solid shoe! Husband wasn't keen on color!

I really do like this shoe. Unfortunately, I started having plantar issues after about a week. I think it is the stack height that is the biggest problem for me and perhaps needing more arch support than when I wore these back in college. I will continue to use them for shorter training runs and workouts as I do love the responsiveness. However, the GT- 2000 is probably the way to go for me.

It has taken a while to break them in - the soles were very stiff to start.

Nice shoe, light and comfortable. Not as cushion as I expected.

The shoes have a good fit. I have a wide foot, but it's not too wide for women's wide, so I'm opted out for men. I laces my shoes for a height arch with a hill lock. Foot feels spacious. The only minus to the shoes that make a squeaky noice while running. I hope this will go away soon. It sent yet after 3 runs.

Great pair of shoes! Fits great and good price as well

Love the quality. I just feel like you feel every bit of the ground beneath your feet.

They ran a little bit wider than I am used to but overall I like this style and fit a lot. I have ran in them a few times and they feel great.
