Men's ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

I'm sure these are great shoes if you have narrow feet. I have wide feet and always use Asics and they're always great, but on these shoes the logo digs into the sides of my feet. Alas. I had high hopes for them.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

These are excellent. They have the lightness and quickness of performance trainer for workouts/tempos but also protection that makes them feel almost just as cushiony as my daily trainer. Because of this I can do anything from a tempo run at 5:50 pace in them or an 8 min pace super-slow shakeout in them and it feels like I have the right shoe on. Very versatile is what I'm trying to say. I'm very happy with these. The only thing is that I'm not sure how durable they will turn out to be. I think these can make a great half-marathon/marathon racer for me too! I used to run tempo stuff in the Nike Zoom Marathoner. These feel a lot better than the Marathoner. The Marathoners may look a little cooler though. But I hope we see these types of shoes stay in circulation out there. It's hard to find a good neutral performance trainer and I'm not crazy about the DS-Trainers out there perhaps because of the added stability aspect.

155lb. runner with flat feet... not fast, but love the fit and feel of the Speedstar and love the looks! At least I "feel" fast in these shoes :)

and thats why youre sub20.
very excited about this shoe, with asymmetric lacing from the old ds trainers and a seamless toe box. according to asics, its about an ounce LIGHTER, not heavier than the speedstar 3.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Perhaps more traditionally a racing shoe, I use the Asics Speedster for training as well, as I like to wear as light a shoe as possible, one that doesn't impede in the natural motion and feel of my feet. It's also one of the most comfortable, "natural" feeling shoes I have ever worn, and looks great too!

light training flat, protective racer
very confortable
great shoe for any price range

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

This shoe is light, and I don't feel that I've sacrificed any cushioning as a tradeoff, I've been running in neutral cushioned shoes for years and I'm sold on running in the lightest shoes possible. This shoe gives me the best of both worlds. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

The ASICS GEL-SPEEDSTAR 4 helps me to run faster and longer. The shoes are light-weight, comfortable, responsive and fast for my 4 miles, 5-6 days per week trail runs; the shoes are a must-have!

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Was not sure about these. Always worn Kayano's.
Bought these for speed. I think they will do the trick. Would recommend that you wear them for short runs until the big event. I plan to marathon in these but not in training.
Very lightweight.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Lightest shoes for running, barely feel them through the run. Perfect for races or competitive running.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Great shoe; I'm training for marathons and this shoe is one that you can use day after day, for long 3+ hours runs or for your speed work with no issues. It tends to wear out a little above average. I've done 120 mks on it and the small threads on the soil are starting to fade slightly.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Ran two marathons in less than a week wearing these and had no pain at all!

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

As a retired competitive runner, I have just resumed a 25 mile a week running schedule. My days of running marathons and 10ks every weekend are over. However, I will run a few 5k races. I purchased these Asics for that purpose. I have worn them once doing a speed workout. I am well pleased.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

Good tradeoff of light weight and support. Feel great right out of the box. Great shoe for longer runs on hard surface even for meduim to heavy runners.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

I am on my 9th marathon this year and have a bit of a running shoe obsession. As a +200 pound runner living in Florida I have been looking for a neutral shoe with enough cushioning but without a bulky upper that gets heavy when wet. I tried the Brooks Launch but quickly returned them as lacking cushioning. These Asics are a perfect race or training complement to my heavier trainers when wieght is important (i.e. hills). Best part is they dry out quickly because of the minimal upper.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

I've recommended the speedstar to other runners who have also liked it. A little more cushioning would make it better

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

My first pair of Ascis after finally giving up on Nike's latest junk. With high arches and a shade over D width, this shoe does it on both counts as a 50 mile per week 155 lb. runner who loves lighter weight shoes. Durability(300 miles so far)on upper (excellent support), sole and heal have been great. Just a tad more bounce and speed would be nice. Adios Nike!

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

nice lightweight, flexible performance trainer/racer. Use for tri's. More cushioning than pure racing flats, but better bounce.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Speedstar 4 Running Shoe:

This is the best shoe I have ever worn! I am a competitive ultra-runner and I train and run all of my races in these shoes. Most of my races are trail, but when I run through river crossings and climb mountains these shoes pass the test. Forget buying trail shoes in California, this is all you need! I have broken 2 course records this year in these shoes: A 50 mile race with 18,0000 feet elevation gain and a 24 hour race (110 miles). I am on my 13th pair! Love them! I have worn both the men's and women's. I have such big feet that it is sometimes difficult to get an 11 women's, so I just buy what is in stock. Only con is they wear out quickly, so it gets expensive.
