Best Uses Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: since the ds trainer x, asics has continued ruining a great shoe. every successive version became more and more unwearable. it is no longer a responsive performance trainer. it is a wide squishy, inflexible trainer. the heel clutch system is ineffective and a joke. there is essentially no difference now between this shoe and the 2100 series. there is no wearable shoe in the asics line anymore if you are looking for a true performance shoe with a touch of stability. The ds racer is probably the closest shoe to that but it really isn't a shoe that you want to run 100 miles a week in like you could in the old trainer. if asics put one quarter of its time into producing their flagship shoes the way it does their horrible 33 collection, they might get some of their runners back who used to love the ds trainers. for the last 7 years, they haven't paid attention to the athletes' comments on the trainers.
Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I have the previous generation (Asics Gel DS-Trainer 16) and also owned the one before that. I have been very happy with them. I ordered these in the same size (7.5) to replace my 16s, but they are definitely a half size larger. I thought it was my imagination, but I held it sole to sole with my 16s and sure enough, the 17 is longer.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: This is my regular training shoe and I've worn it for marathons as well! It is lightweight yet still provides sufficient support. This shoe is perfect for the neutral runner requiring some cushion without added weight.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I am a triathlete and marathon runner, so I log a lot of hours of running; however, I only used this shoe for the treadmill and some really long walks, just to "get back into" shape and my feet were killing me. I do not like the shoe and I am sending it back. I am switching to Mizuno as ASICs has changed their shoes so much, that none are comfortable anymore. I used to run in the 2140 up to the 2160's but I cannot trust this brand for now.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: These shoes are great. I usually wear a size 8.5 women's, but I ordered a size 9 after reading the other reviews. They are a tiny bit big, but I think the 8.5 would have been too small. I am the average woman at 5'5 and 150 pounds. Having the slighly larger size prevents my middle toe from being jammed up against the show. I am training for my first marathon and run a steady 8 minute mile. These shoes fit right into my workouts without giving me any blisters or anything, as I've had with other shoes. I was not normally an Asics girl (I stuck to New Balance and Saucony) but this is my second pair of Asics and I'm loving this brand. Great shoes!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I have high arches and usually get high stability shoes i love these because there is stability without the extra shoe around my foot. I am ordering my second pair now. They offer just the right amount of cushioning and stability for me. I do use super feet as insoles.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I am a high school runner at a fairly competitive school where we logged about 25- 30 miles a week. These were great shoes that were able to withstand both my spring season of track and the following summer training for cross country. They endured all types of conditions (wet, trail, pavement, heat). The shoes never gave out and even at the end of the season they are still very comfortable. (*note, I did change the insoles to a more supportive insole)

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: First time trying out a DS Trainer and I love them. I wear the Gel Kayano's regularly but wanted to try something a little lighter weight to do some speed work in. I bought these a 1/2 size larger then my Kayano's and the fit is perfect. So glad I decided to take and chance and order these shoes. Looking forward to many great runs in them!!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I love these shoes. I am super specific about what I wear and have tried many many shoes until I found these. They are lightweight but sturdy enough to handle daily training. The DS trainers fit like a glove and and super comfy.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 17 Running Shoe: I've been running in Asics for years and have also tried Newtons, Saucony and Nike and I guess I'm fine in any of those, so when I have to choose I select on the type of run I'm about to do. I can run on Neutrals for 5k races or short runs, but feel better with some stability if I go beyond 10/15k. The Asics are great for long runs (marathon training), light, responsive and durable. The only down side for me is I tear the upper mesh easily with my big toe and end up with a hole before my shoes have a 100 miles:(...well it's more ventilation I suppose!
