        Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 18 Running Shoe:

        I went on a walk in these to try them out a couple days ago & then did a 4.5 mile hard run today. Asics are my favorite, so I was pretty sure I couldn't go wrong with these. I have a pair of Asics (Gel Trabuco) trail runners that I love, but for running on the road, they are a little heavy. They are fantastic for trails though. These are light, very comfortable, supportive and didn't require any break in. At first, it felt as if the arch support was misplaced. I generally order a half size up for running. As my foot started to swell a bit on my run, it felt as if everything moved into place. No shin splints and no soreness to speak of tonight. I'm more conservative with colors, so I wish they were a a little less loud, but I conserve my running shoes and don't really wear them out an about, so as long as they help me run the way I want to, I could care less about how they look.

          Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 18 Running Shoe:

          I've been alternating the last year between the last model of the DS Trainer and the Mizuno Elixir. I tried the Mizuno because the last few updates of the DS seemed to be too stiff. This update seems like it's the DS Trainer of a few years ago. The new model forefoot fit is the best and doesn't have the pinching that the previous version did. Still love my Mizuno's but have the feeling this shoe will get worn more often now.
