Buy ASICS Men's GEL-DS Trainer 16 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I ordered these shoes from Road Runner sports and they actually showed up the next day! I didn't even pay for express shipping, so that was amazing. They also followed up with a phone call to ask if everything was ok so I definitely recommend using Road Runner.

The shoe is great and this is my second pair i've gone through with this model. They last very well, especially considering how light the shoe is. I don't like minimal shoes but this one is as light as it gets while still having some stability. They fit great right out of the box and my first run in them was 7 miles and I had absolutely no problems!

I was Kayano runner for years then I felt recent models were too heavy and pricy. I stopped by my local running store, and I was told about DS trainer. Never paid attention to DS series I was skeptical, and instead picked up 21XX model at the time. I still felt 21XX was missing the point, and I remeber the advise from the store. Why not shelling out another $70 (ouch). I picked up the DS Trainer 16.5, which is the red model. Apprently the production change happened and 16 (the pinkish white model) and 16.5 are slightly different on fitting. WEll, I must say I am very happy with my choice. They are super light, yet still provide enough support that I need...and 1/2 the price of Kayano! Wow.

Of course these are light weight shoes, hence I don't expect to take same level of abuse like Kayano. But I'm really liking them so far. Oh, and I used to wear wide Kayano, but with DS trainer I wear normal size.

I have found these shoes to be the most comfortable running shoe I have worn thus far. Great support and very light. The off centre laces offer a level of comfort that I haven't noticed in others.

Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-DS Trainer 16 Running Shoe

Let me preface this with a disclaimer: the only running shoes that I will even consider buying are Asics. If you think that I am alone in my preference for Asics, go to a 5K and take note to the high percentage of running wearing Asics. I own about a dozen pairs of Asics and these are by far my favorite. The fact that they are eye catching (without going to the level of the Asics Gel Noosa Tri-6) is a plus but pales in comparison to how light yet supportive they are. I have put a beating on them in the past 4 months and they have held up extremely well.

These are the first shoes I have purchased on-line. The process was pretty seamless. The shoes are great, fit well and look like the photos. They are light and comfortable, although I think the quality is down a bit from the pair I bought 3 years ago. They do not seem as well made, and the laces are cheap.

My suggestion is to read user comments on fit first. They were very helpful in deciding what size to buy. I would buy on here again, if I could not find what I wanted locally, as was the case this time. I found that even after paying duty and taxes I still saved money from locally advertised prices in Calgary.

I just wish Amazon would ship to Canada direct, rather than needing to include a third party broker in the process. That is a pain.
