This shoe is light & super comfortable. Just got them last week & looking forward to running my next marathon in them soon! Seems like the perfect race day shoe.

I had previously run in,and loved the Landreth I and II. Then Ascic went and changed the shoe and the III was not as cushioned and as soft a ride as its predecessors. The Speedstar3 is a welcome alternative and rides comparably to the earlier versions of the Landreth- and is lighter to boot!

I bought these and my second run in them was 23 miles. The past 5 years I've trained and ran marathons in the Asics Cumulus. This year being a little disappointed in the Cumulus update I decided to give these a try. They're much lighter and the cushioning feels like it'll just fine for 26.2. I ti...

Asics redeems itself. Recent efforts (Cumulus 9, Landreth 3) were worse than disappointing. But this is a great shoe. Light and fast with excellent cushioning up front (Speva forever!). Perfect for tempo runs and longer races (I'd go lighter for 10k or less). I like the color too.

Fri, August 29,2008:
Well, I respectfully disagree with some of the other reviews. I prefer the 2 - This Speedstar 3 is a bit too much shoe. With the 2 I felt the road more and it felt a lot lighter. The 3 is not as "quick" as the 2. Hey, but that's me...I still miss the Epirus - By the way, I ran marathons in the 2 a...

tremendous shoe; lighter than trainers and ideal for quick tempo runs and short races; excellent fit; they really do make you want to run fast!

Great Shoe! Nice update over the 2's the outsole is now made entirely with Asics' AHAR high abrasive rubber so they are much more durable than the plastic outsole of the 2's. I love the color and the ride, you just want to go fast in these shoes.

Great update to the Speed star 2. Less of a racing flat feel and more of a trainer feel. Great for all races from 5k-marathon. One tid bit they lacing doesn't work to well straight laced, so stick to traditional cross lacing.

Best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I can wear them on all training runs and speed runs. I use them as racing flats on all distances from 5k up to 50 miles. I'm glad they're back in yellow.

The best trainer shoes for 2008! It's lightweight, quick, responsive, and provides exceptional support. This shoe could definitley hold out for more than a half marathon; a must have. The forefoot area is roomy but it allows for maximum ventilation; a sure plus since its summer time. Aestheticaly; t...

Used to running with stability shoes (Axiom 2) and was recommended these by a local run guru Byron in Miami for the marathon 30 days PRIOR! My favorite shoes so far, didn't think I could ever run on such light shoes, reconsidering what foot type I am. This is the shoe where I buy two pairs at next ...

Sat, June 28,2008:
This is a well-engineered shoe. It is lightweight and responsive, and the top ventilates the foot well. The toebox is roomy, but the shoe maintains sleek lines. The gold/black colors are the best yet. I do not agree with an earlier reviewers comment that this should not be used for anything longe...

very light weight and fast. I rotate this shoe with my asics gel nimbus for the shorter training runs. Don't run more than a half marathon with these shoes.

ASICS redeemed themselves with this update; A must buy for the distance runner looking for a lightweight training shoe.
