      Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Lyte33 2 Running Shoe:

      I run an average of 14-25 pavement miles per week, sometimes everyday depending on how I feel and the weather. I wanted to migrate from a heavier, support type shoe (Asics 2170) to something lighter, to see if it would make a difference for me, without losing too much needed cushioning. I'll soon be 67 and apparently my knees have realized that much sooner than my brain so I've been working on my form, including of course my strike to try to reduce the impact. I fully expected this shoe to fail in that regard but I was completely surprised. The shoe is light, extremely comfortable, and while I am more connected to the pavement than with the 2170's, I can feel the gel absorbing much of the impact. It just feels fantastic! I was so impressed, I decided to order another pair to alternate with, and then, at the last minute, ordered a pair of Saucony Kinvara 4's, thinking they may be better still. I'm not disappointed with the Kinvara 4, but to me, they aren't as comfortable in the heel area as the ASICS GEL-Lyte33 2's are. At the end of a run, I have a little redness where the upper portion of the heel of the shoe contacts my sock. There is no padding there on the Kinvara 4 where there is on the ASICS. I have no problems at all with the ASICS...comfortable the whole way and from the time I first put them on. All that to say, I may keep the Kinvara 4's, but I'll replace them with another pair of ASICS GEL-Lyte 33's. So far, it's just the best thing I've ever had on my feet.

          Love em'! I wanted to try something more light weight for racing. I just love these and perfect for me to run races (so far 5K's and 5 miles). Definitely feel lighter on my feet than my trainers! I also liked the Brooks Cadence but went with these because they had slightly thicker sole. I wanted a little more support for my pronation though I've learned more on my forefoot! Great racing shoe!

            Bought the Gel Lyte a couple of weeks ago for the OC marathon. I am 55 and have run over 80 marathons. Have not used a racing flat in years due to foot issues. Normal training shoe is the Nike Volmero. Bought the Gel Lyte because I was attempting to qualify for Boston at OC.

            Pleasantly surprised with the comfort of the shoe during the race. Feet were no more beat up than they would have been had I raced in my Volmero's. Would not use it as an everyday trainer as I think it would break down rather quickly. Great racing shoe though.

              This shoe reminds me somewhat of the Gel-lytes that used to be available but were dropped eventually in favor of DS Trainers. Nothing wrong with the DS trainers but I am very happy with the Gel-lyte 33 2's. I've been running for about 36 years and probably have logged around 40,000 plus miles. Don't change anything on the new Gel-lyte 33 2's as they are perfect for my running form!

                I am transitioning from a stability thick heeled shoe to a more neutral lightweight shoe and this shoe is awesome. My stride and foot landing is so much more natural. These shoes feel like a feather and yet have all the support I need. Really glad I bought these and I look forward to more natural running!

                  Finally I found a shoe that just feels great to run in. The Asics Gel Lyte 33 2 has a perfect fit and I run much faster in these shoes then any other shoe I have worn. I have had these shoes for a few weeks and can't wait to run every day in them.

                    AS a sworn Asics fan, was really eager to try this shoe. They really are nice on the foot, lightweight and comfortable.
                    Difinately great shoe for gym training or everyday use, maybe a short run now and then. But for sure not a serious everyday running shoe! They feel a bit bouncy...
                    Overall great shoe for recreational users.

                      For the last two years, I have been recovering from an Achilles problem. I was looking for a light weight, but supportive running shoe. In the March 2013 Runners World, there was a decision tree that was suppose to lead us to the best shoes for our specific situation. One of the shoes recommended for me was the Asics Gel Light 33. I had to wait three weeks for it to arrive at Road Runners Sport, but the wait was well worth it. This is the most comfortable lightweight shoe that I have worn since I wore out a pair of Adidas racing shoes in 1986. I have very high arches, so having good support is very important got me. These Asics Gel Light 33's are the perfect shoe for me. I am making my comeback after two years of injuries and these shoes will be a key part of my getting back to racing.

                          Asics have always been my go-to running shoes, and I absolutely love my GEL-Lyte33's, so when they came out with the GEL-Lyte33 2 running shoes I was very eager to try them out. The GEL-Lyte 33 shoes were awesome, so as soon as I tried them on, I had to have them. They are my favorite running shoes because they provide comfort and cushioning, while also remaining lightweight.
