Best ASICS Women's GEL-DS Sky Speed Running Shoe Deals

Customer Ratings:

I am in love with this shoe! Currently wearing the Gel-Nimbus as a basic runner and was in need of a new training shoe to replace an old pair of trainers. I came across these at the Boston expo and tried them out along with several others. This shoe was the standout among the bunch. The Sky Speed fit like a glove right out of the box and required no "break in" time at all. They are light and flexible and perfect for the tempo, interval and pace training during my marathon training. They offer a nice, smooth ride with lots of feedback from the road. And the color is awesome too! An excellent addition to the Asics family.

I had battled several injuries and was in pretty intense physical therapy just to not have to WALK Boston, but after qualifying, I was sure going! I had self-prescribed running shoes and chosen poorly. With a week to go for the race, in desperation, I spoke to my physical therapist (who runs a running clinic, not just generic PT) who recommended this shoe. I live by the mantra "nothing new on race day," but at least with this shoe, I had a CHANCE of them not hurting--the old ones definitely hurt. NO PROBLEM, AND I RE-QUALIFIED! I couldn't be happier. They are not commonly stocked at many running stores. When it came time for a new pair, being impatient, I went with another pair the salesperson said was similar, and came home with a huge blood blister on my bunion after the first run. I am now ready for another new pair, so am happily going back to this shoe. There has been an update that is being ordered for me that I will try, but any friction on my foot at all and I will order these. Great shoe! NO CONS! I even liked the color.

I love the color, weight and comfort of these shoes. I always buy running shoes a size larger than I normally wear. I wear a 6 1/2 and buy running shoes in a 7 1/2...these run larger than Brooks, Nike, NB so I wish I would have ordered a 7 instead of 7 1/2.

Honest reviews on ASICS Women's GEL-DS Sky Speed Running Shoe

First let me say that the color is called limelight, but make no mistake they are bright yellow. I was hoping for a greenish-yellow. But the color isn't what made me return these shoes...

The laces are very odd they kind-of go off at an angle to the inner foot. There is also a large gap from the front of the shoe to the spot where the laces start. I wear a size 10 so this made my feet like enormous! However the bigger problem was that it didn't allow me to tighten the shoe until I was well over my arch. There is a looseness over the ball of my foot that I feel like I could correct in most shoes by tightening the laces.

Next, the heel had a weird feel to it; it almost felt like it was uneven with the outside half of the heel feeling higher than the inner half. It also was tight on my heel and I have narrow feet! It felt like it was squeezing my heel.

Finally, these are not true-to-size. I have two other pairs of Asics and I wear a size 10; I always wear a size 10 in flats and sneakers (I'm a toss-up between a 9 1/2 and a 10 for pumps). I ordered a size 10 here and there are definitely too big a thick pair of socks would not do the trick here. If I liked them otherwise, I might have tried a 9 1/2 but I'm not even sure they would have worked as these seemed VERY big for a 10. In the end, these were NOT the shoes for me and I had to return them...
