ASICS Men's Gel-Pulse 11 Running Shoe

I have used ASIC's for years. I actually did not buy these for training but as a leisure shoe. Although ASIC's have always been on the expensive side, they have served me well. I have bought 3 pairs recently (2 for the gym), the sizing is a little tighter than it used to be. The material quality is not as robust as it used to be but is fine. I will never ever buy NIKE, but it may be time to perhaps look try another supplier to see if their shoes match up to expectations.

Happy

Great support drom the sole and noce comfort from the insole. The upper is morw lightweight than I was expecting (maybe not great on a very cold morning) but good if you are going for a run, working out or just out for a walk. I have just recovered from a plantar plate tear and these offer just the support and comfort I need.

Happy enough with them. No complaints for walking around shoes

Took this out for a test the day it arrived and was very pleased with the fit. I have very Wide feet and decided to go half a size up, and did not feel any tightness or pain in my feet or knees afterward.I tested these running on a very rainy day on a wet road and found them to have sufficient grip, however the very tip of the shoe isn't as strong in this department. It's nothing youd have too much trouble with unless you were running in icy conditions.The only other thing worth mentioning, is that the shoes can get fairly wet due to the breathable fabric.I was caught in heavy rain, which almost immediately seeped into my socks, but surprisingly didnt weigh the shoe down or leave the shoe feeling" squishy".I've worn them since in much lighter conditions and they adapt well.They can also be worn for everyday use and are just as comfortable for walking around in.

I suffer from Plantar fasciitis, and I have been using barefoot running shoes but developed a tendency to run on toes instead of rolling from heel to toe.Which was fine, but it didn't help with the condition so it took longer for the heal to improve.I bought these running shoes to retrain the heel to toe action, and also to cushion the pressure from my tender heels whilst road running.I have to say, so far so good.In addition, the better quality of the shoe really does improve the standard of running, as it seems I work less with these shoes, but a difference only detecable by seasoned runners I thnk.

These running shoes are 8.5 size - usually I run in sixe 9, but the 8.5 is a perfect fit. The shoe offers plenty of cushioning (I have foot issues).

I've ordered this shoes fo running but I find them not the best for this purpose due to the long sole at the back of the shoes.But I think this is due more to my running style then the shoes.However, I also walk long distances and I find them great for that, very light and very comfortable!
