Lightweight shoe that feels like plenty of support.

I have been running in Gel-D S Trainers for 20 plus years. The 24 fits great and I was ready to run in them from the first time I put them on.

I've been a fan of the DS Trainer for over 12 years and probably have purchased over 30 pair in that time. Several years ago Asics started making changes to narrow the shoe that sadly have made it unusable for me. I am so glad in the last two models, Asics has returned to the prior fit. This shoe is again my go to and I've stocked up on several pair.

Feather light and feel great. I've been wearing Gel DS Trainers for 20 years! Before finding this sneaker, I had arch pain.

This is the first Trainer I've worn in over 10 years and I'm very impressed with the speed and comfort of these shoes. Normally I wear the GT-2000 and, while I found these shoes to be stiffer and louder at first when striking pavement, they've since broken-in.

Great Shoe; Have worn ASICS DS Trainers since they first came out. Wouldn't use anything else.

Have run in DS Trainers for years and the model 24 is much better looking than prior versions, which isn't the most important thing but is appreciated! The hard plastic portion of the sole is gone, but the DS was never a big stability shoe and I don't miss its absence. The cloth on the inside heel also seems more durable. Another new thing is more colorways than in prior years! The new Imperial / Speed Red is awesome, great job! My only wish is that these weren't so narrow - I have to size up 1/2 size versus other shoes (including prior versions of the DS Trainer) and it leaves the shoes a bit long in the toe.

An excellent shoe for walking and gym work. This 83-year-old great-grandfather thanks ASICS for the very best in athletic shoes!

Absolutely love. I'm a big ASICS fan and was looking for a knit shoe. These are beautiful, light, and supportive. So lightweight. Would love to see more colors.

Comfortable & very lightweight. Wore them out on the 4th - got a lot of compliments. I wish the white version was available for men.

Got these for my son and he loves them. I did have to size up a 1/2 size . He got 3 new pairs of tennis shoes and these are the ones he grabs most often.

Light weight, super comfortable, good-looking. Just received them and have done some moderate walking and a few short runs. Plenty of support and cushioning. They look good, so I enjoy wearing them around, too. Slightly snug, but not a half-size off.

The 24 is the absolute best update to this line so far. I'm a big fan of this shoe due to the stability features, the motion, feel, design, and materials. With this latest version they've improved on everything. The biggest strength is it's versatility. I live in Chicago and wear the 24 to the gym, on the road, and out on the trails. I can wear it with a sock or without. And its comfortable to run in whether I'm just out for a base run, sprinting, or going out for a tempo. Throw it on and get you're ready to move!

I bought this shoe from recommendations, I used to use Kayano/noosa tri, but these shoes are so comfortable and so light weight I love them! I think asics should continue the use of the upper mesh being how reactive it is. This shoe has a wider forefoot, which gives you more of a platform to run from. The laces are of high quality as well. If you are new to asics check this shoe out!

Let me begin by saying, "Congratulations ASICS!"... you guys did it! Finally, a high quality, light weight, and durable running shoe. This is without-a-doubt the best running shoe I have ever owned. I rank it 5 of 5 on appearance, comfort, and quality. This shoe radiates greatness, creating an unparalleled feeling of confidence and determination to succeed. It is best described as running on a cloud while whispering to angels. This shoe is a cheat code for running. Change nothing.

Love these shoes! I finally switched from always running in Asics Kayano's and can't believe how much I love these Trainers. Super light but much more stable than I expected. Great cushioning and support. I was worried going from such a controlling shoes to the more basic Trainer was going to be less supportive of my running style but I find these to be just great. The upper feels very soft and comfortable on my foot as well. I think they are pretty true to size (I am an 8.5 in these shoes and was in the Kayano's as well). I don't know about durability as I've only had them for a couple of weeks but they seem to be really well made and the sole looks pretty durable even though it is a soft rubber.
