Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Pulse® 12

They look nice but they felt wider than expected, I returned them.

Pulse 12 - Too Narrow for comfortable fit for the average guy. Unfortunately, they had to be returned. Very Disappointing

Tight fitting in toe area. Need to go up half a size possibly.

So disappointed. I love my Gel-Pulse 11's and was so excited when they came out with an all black shoe for the Gel-Pulse 12. After looking at it online, it appeared to be more narrow in the toe box and I took it upon myself to order a 1/2 size up. The new version is extremely tight and the fit is totally different the previous model. Why change a good thing? :(

The toebox feels abnormally narrow. I purchased these because I already owned an older pair of Gel Pulse shoes that lasted me a very long time and were super comfy. Unfortunately the upgraded version is not as good. Despite having the same size, they feel a size smaller. My toes are smooshed, pinched, numb and tingling. Like others, you really can't get a feel for this until you wear them long enough to be unable to return them; a quick walk around the house won't necessarily alert you to the shortcomings of this shoe. Once you wear them an hour, they aren't returnable. I wish I sized up, or that these were made at least as wide as older models. I'm glad they come in a solid black at least and wish Aasics shoes for women came in more neutral and black/black options. I can still force myself to wear these for a quick outing to the store, but they are too tight and my toes and feet will pay the price.

This is a joke I ordered trainers 3 times order canceled every time

Tried to buy it. They cancelled repeatedly. I complained. They just said tough. I asked ASICS to take my data off their records. They refused.

The trainers look a lot better in the picture than in person. I only got them for the price but the sole of the trainer that's goes round the side of the trainer isn't white (like the picture) it's a grey/blue sole which isn't very nice.

Unfortunately, the right shoe is totally off balance. It has a deepen part under the toe area, thus making me placing a four-fold ply piece of cloth under the insole. Very very bad made shoe. Totally disappointed

These trainers have given be a blister!! I'll write properly to complain.

Friction causes blister above my heel. And poor arch support. Not happy at all.

The Pulse has a "meta" pad in the forefront of the shoe. I have arthritis in my right foot and these shoes are the most painful I've ever worn. If you don't want a raised pad in the front than don't buy. If you want it, you might love these.

Disappointed this time after 10+ yrs with Asics shoes. Short, tight toebox, snd a very annoying feeling that there is a ball under my arch

This is not true to size based on the other Asics shoes. The toe area is cut off at an unnatural angle that changes the sizing and makes these unwearable. My foot is very narrow and these shoes are too narrow to wear

I bought this shoe less than a month ago. The fit was initially tight and the first few wears were uncomfortable but I assumed it needed to be broken in, the fit is still snug in comparison to previous Asics. After two weeks of use my knees have began aching, my feet are sore and my back is in pain. These shoes are the only thing I have changed. Beyond disappointed. The support and cushion are not what one would hope for in a running shoe.

They did not fit. I ordered a size 11 and I wear a size 10.5 in Ascics, but they were out of my size when I ordered. I'm supposedly on the waitlist for when a size 10.5 becomes avilable.

There is not very much support in this shoe I only tried them on and noticed right way they are not comfortable returned them!

I only wear Asics and thought I'd try these out. Bad choice, not all Asics are the same. The toe box is way too narrow to the point of making the shoe very uncomfortable. I'd love to return these but it appears the return policy requires all tags and I removed them. Guess I'm stuck with an uncomfortable shoe I can't wear.

I LOVE Asics and have 6 pair. Unfortunately, this style didn't work for me. the arch was too high and hurt my left foot. I tried wearing them and walk on carpet every day to see if they got better but they did not. I then started traveling, but intend to return them when I get back next week.

Why does Asics always ruin a great shoe, they did it with the Nimbus and now they did it with the Gel Pulse, the 11s were so comfortable but I wore them out so I decided to buy the 12s and it feels like a whole different shoe, so uncomfortable, I have to stand for long hours and with the 11s, there was no problem but with the 12s my feet start hurting after 1 hour of standing. The only good thing about this shoes is that they looks nice but that's it, very disappointed in Asics. I used to recommend Asics to everyone but I'm going to stop doing that.

Really comfortable trainers. Love the colour and design

Haven't received them yet. It's been2 weeks. They blamed covid

Size seems to come up very big, also very wide at the front and if using the laces to tie up properly uncomfortable. Returned

I have been asked to review theses. I still haven't even received them in 3 weeks.
