Customer Reviews ASICS Sportstyle GEL-DS® Trainer 24

Fit was ok. They are super light. I use them for mostly walking. Not nearly as much fusion as on the Gel Quantum 360 I had.

I hoped this shoe would work for gym floor exercises, but unfortunately it did not have enough structure and lateral support for my feet. I need support for pronation and metatarsal issues and could see that this shoe would bother my knees, even with a custom orthotic replacing the insole. The shoe had very little padding and could feel my foot hitting the ground to hard. The color design was nice; if you don’t have any foot issues and don’t need much arch support, this would be a great light workout shoe. I ordered the men’s in 1.5 sizes smaller than my women’s size. I would say it runs a bit narrow.

I've been wearing these shoes as my daily shoes for over a month now, they are very comfortable, super lightweight and true to size. The complete fabric design is really cool too, but I do wonder how they'll clean up if they get dirty. My only real complaint is the are very squeeky. Any hard surface (cement, asphalt, hardwood, tile, vinyl, etc.) combined with the slightest slide of your foot will produce that basketball court squeek. It's a bit annoying. But, it has shown me just how much I slide/scuff my feet when I walk.

I think this is probably a nice shoe but it seems to be 1/2 size too small. It is NOT overly cushioned but I like the ride of the shoe. I want to feel the road.
