Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 25

I absolutely love these shoes. The style and color combo is so unique. Kind of an animal print look to the fly knit, but not actually leopard print. The photos don’t really convey how cool they are, they actually have a gold metallic sheen to the thread, and the spray of gold on the soles is also metallic and light reflective. I like that they are low profile without a bulky sole. I wore them for a cardio boxing workout with a lot of jumping and they performed well. No issues with breaking them in or any rubbing. I like these shoes so much I actually ordered a 2nd pair for when I completely wear the first pair out. That’s how cute they are!

My Covid walkers! Have logged three to six miles a day with these shoes and super comfortable, great support and cushioning. Definitely recommend!

Love love love! This show is even better than my old discontinued ASICS shoe. Excellent support and comfort. My feet are happy!

Love these! I've gone on two 3-4 mile runs with these shoes and have been very happy, they are extremely light! Yet I feel like they still provide enough cushion to push off of and I don't feel everything on the road that im running on. After the first run my shins hurt for a couple days but now I feel like my body is getting used to the 8mm offset and I am very happy with them! They also look great as well and I'm considering buying another pair to alternate my runs with and keep them lasting longer. I am usually a size 8 in regular shoes and I ordered a size 8.5 for running shoes.

Wore these shoes two days in a row for 5.5 mile walks at a brisk pace & they were wonderful! Very cute, slim profile, plenty of support.

I usually wear an 8 in everything but my toe came to the end. Not how I need my walking shoes to fit. So I ordered a half size bigger and they’re perfect. I totally agree with the first two reviewers...they are awesome!!

These shoes did not work for me. I have Mortons Neuroma and high arches. These were true to size but a little narrow for me. Not much arch support, hurt my ankles and knees too. Still looking for perfect pair.

I have had 2 pairs of DS trainers prior to this one. I have not had a knit shoe before, and initially thought the shoe was a half size too large. I am very into it, after having gotten use to it. Fit is true to size, it is light, thin, looks nice (to me) and great for running and walking. I gave this shoe a low overall review because the tread design is quite bad (despite the high abrasion rubber), and after having run less than 50 miles, many of the lugs have torn off because they are so thin (its the tread shape, not the material). I would be surprised if these lasted 150 miles, where other DS trainers have lasted a few hundred miles before they start to fall apart.

Great show, lots of flair with the black and gold, so sassy! Great material, has a reptilian metallic vibe if you can imagine that. Very cute and comfortable, fit true to size. Love Zappos!

Love this trainer! They offer great support and cushioning for indoor training and HIIT workouts. They lace well and stay tied without 3 double knots and the arch support is good. I love that I can reliably count on the fit of Asics.

I love these! I am a big ASICS fan! I wear 9.5 in all of their shoes no matter the style and these fit perfectly, so definitely true to size! I have flat feet and I have arch supports, which fit in the shoes perfectly without any issues. I also have pretty narrow feet and I think that these run pretty narrow. They fit me perfectly but they are definitely slim. I am a big weight lifter and I wear these to train! I love them. They are light and provide great cushion. I also use these to run and have no increase in joint pain. They are super, super cute! I love the black and gold look. They look like the picture online! I highly recommend these.

I love these shoes! These are my first pair of ASICS ever and I’m pleased with the purchase. They are both stylish and comfortable, as well as a tribute to the Boston marathon. They fit true to size and have a cushiony feel, no rubbing anywhere. I use them for long distance, fast paced walking. I love the black and gold combination. This shoe is a perfect mix of comfort and style. I definitely recommend.

I have always loved ASICS for running, walking and just for fun and with all the gyms closed, I started power walking and needed new shoes, these fit the bill....comfortable and stylish!! But I feel they ran a little big, maybe 1/2 size or so? Not enough to exchange, but needed a thicker sock.

Like all the other Asics I've worn - love these shoes! Went out for my first run in them today (around 4 1/2 miles) and the size and support were perfect. I use these exclusively as running shoes - 3x a week.

I wear an 8 in Asics, and they fit in this shoe is slightly too long. they are very beautiful looking and will return and get a half size smaller than my usual size, as they will be really nice to have for walking my dogs in the neighborhood or running errands.

I gave these shoes good ratings bc I think for some they might work really well. True to size but a little big / sloppy in the toe box. I gave them 3-4 good runs but just decided they allowed for too much foot movement to keep. They LOOK amazing though. Sadly, I am returning and will try something else!

I wanted to like these shoes but one walk and I couldn't wait to get these off my feet. It was like no support and the fit was wrong all over. I tried two sizes and neither of them would work. Sadly, had to return both pairs. I wore Asics for years but since have switched to Brooks. Not able to go into stores at this point of the pandemic leaves my options shopping online, which I'm not too crazy about. Ordering a new brand to see how that goes!

These had no cushion or arch support. Definitely cuter in the photos than in person. Color was odd. Too much money to not love them!

Fit and size were fine, however, do not buy this particular color. The beige/gummetal. It's not true to the online photos. They arrived a horrid shade of fleshy peach and are all speckled. Super ugly!

This is my first pair of Asics in an attempt at correcting my lack of foot arch. I researched my problem and made these sneakers my first choice. I thought they would be tan. They are gold. That's fine. I really like how they look and fit. I'm frequently between a size 11 and a 12. Wearing socks can make a big difference, also. I ordered a 12. I haven't worn them with socks, yet. So far the fit works for me. I have a narrow heel causing it to pop out of a lot of shoes. The padding around the heel is comfortable and holds my heel in place. This pair was a bit less expensive than some other options, and that helped me decide to purchase this style. So far, I'm very happy with this choice.

Fabulous right out of the box straight to the Pickle-ball court!Played for 3 hours, shoes felt awesome.

Great middle of the road shoe - medium width, moderate cushioning, moderate arch support. Seems to do a good job of stabilizing my foot.
