By Soreman from NJ on 09/21/2009

Best Uses:
Running
Describe Yourself:

Width:
Feels true to width
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really loved these shoes for doing fast tempo runs and 5/10Ks and they didn't wear too quickly. However, unlike my NBs which I've used fine past the 300-500 mile mark, these shoes gave me real problems after about ~300-400 miles. Fellow cheapskates beware, don't try to wear these past their expiration date or you may end up with Achilles' problems like I did.

I've been buying Asics shoes through you for years. Probably 20-30 pair. This is the first pair that didn't fit(I always order the same size)and the quality of the shoe looks terrible. I have sent them back.

I recently switched from Nike Air Zoom Elites to DS Trainers and absolutely love them. I cycle through 4 pairs, run every day and am an elite triathlete. I walk in my old, worn ones, and they feel perfect everywhere I put them on. I can wear them on the track, dirt, road, concrete... everything feels as good or better as it should.

I love these shoes. They are really nice looking and comfortable right out of the box. Order the next 1/2 size up as they run small.

Love 'em

I use the DS trainer for all speed and fartlek training sessions on various surfaces including track, road, grass and gravel. They fit like a glove, offer plenty of support and are extremely light weight - a great training running shoe. The only negative is that the sole tends to wear more quickly that my normal training Kayano runners.
