My first pair(s) of the Noosa Tri was the Tri 6,and I must confess I bought them initially for their killer looks but they turned out to be another great ASICS running shoe as well.. Couldn't wait to get my hands on these when I saw them on Amazon.
Now, All my ASICS are size 12 and no matter what model they all fit the same. So these were a bit of a shock when they arrived.
My first impression was that they are a bit more shallow in the forefoot therefore making them much more of a "snug" fit and they don't seem to have the same length in the forefoot as all my other size 12s including my Tri 6 models. ( I think that my big toes would endure a fair bit of grief if I actually decided to do some big mileage in them.) The Tri 6 was made on the same last as the DS Trainer 16 -which was a combination lastbut these appear to have been done on a slip last and this may be part is what's behind my perception of the 8s being noticeably different.
So I would suggest that if you are thinking of getting a pair of these you might want to consider going up a half or full size more than what you would normally buy. Apart from those two points I still think they are a great shoe but I just can't give them my usual 5 stars.
Now Having said all that, I do intend to buy another pair, especially in this colour, but I will step up one size to a 13 which will give me that little bit of extra length and comfort in the forefoot.I have been looking for this running shoes for really long, they are really comfortable, I love the color. Good price.
