Good feeling shoe, well vented, I mean very well vented
Great for comments on how wild they are.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri 7 Running Shoe:

Most ASICS shoes are very standardized in size. I know I wear a size 11 1/2 in all ASICS shoes, EXCEPT these shoes. They do not have the stability I had hoped for.

Going on my 3rd pair of this model. With each pair, the fabric in the left heal side has worn away (after a few runs) cutting/rubbing that spot raw (even w/ socks on).
Never had this happen w/ any other shoe.
The support is great but a little more cushioning would make it even better.

Although I do not regularly buy shoes online, this was a gamble and a win. Although rather flashy, these shoes are great for the individual that runs a lot. I have had these shoes for about a month and a half, and already put almost 300 miles on them. Although the person makes the shoe, this shoe is fast, and after several miles a day, still maintain it's comfort form. I am getting ready to purchase my second pair of these shoes, and can't wait to see if there is a noosa tri 8. I would recommend this shoe to anyone that runs high miles, or just a casual wearer.

Worn it twice for 2 hrs around the house before my first run. First run (on a treadmill) really bad experience with blisters on both heels after less than mile and a half. There seems to be a rim / collar in the heel that chafes your outer ankle. Admittedly, did not wear socks, but it is a tri-shoe after all - so falling short here as well. Also think big mistake not to have half size increases after size 12. Definitely a shoe you need to buy at least half a size up. I wear a size 12, but size 13 is too big for me.

I can wear neutral shoes but this perf-stability really made my feet happy-comfortable, breathable and fast based on my experience. I've used Blur33 which is still great. Excel33 didn't really soothe/felt great to me. Definitely using this on my IM races this year. Everyone have different feel; just have to try it and see what works the best.

Great shoe for the price - built for tri's, but I have been wearing it for my local runs. Many comments from the design and colors. Great heal cushion, but a bit firm in the forefoot. Fits well and with a totally breathable upper, will drain well in a tri. I always wear inserts, and they went in easily. Comes with regular and speed laces. I am 6', 180 pounds and usually wear the Asics 2K/3K series or Kayano. Great alternative if you are looking for a lightweight shoe or just something different. No pain or blisters after wear. Few seams inside so will probably work well without socks, although I have been wearing them with socks. Overall a good purchase.

The Asics Gel Noosa Tri 6 was a tough act to follow, but these shoes far exceeded my expectations. The Asics Noosa 7's carry on the vibrant style of its predecessor while maintaining the comfort and durability that I have come to expect and love from Asics. These shoes really work great whether you are a hard-core runner, a brisk walker at the shopping mall, or just someone who appreciates their brazen style. These sneakers feel great with socks or barefoot, since the upper mesh allows them to breath and the insoles feel great either way. The only drawback to the Asics Gel Noosa Tri 7's is the previous incarnation, the Tri 6, has a more unique style and design, (just got to love those little kangaroos on bicycles), and sports a bolder color scheme with the pink and light blue hues. However, the Asics Gel Noosa Tri 7 is a worthy successor. I plan to buy another pair since I absolutely love these shoes!.
