I wear an 11 in asics Kayano and had to send these back to get 11.5 and they are still a bit tight. I am still giving them a few more runs to see if my feet still cramp.

I think I may have found my new shoe. It's too soon to tell how they will hold up with time but so far I have no complaints. Very lightweight and comfortable. Definitely order a half size larger than you normally would.

I've ran the Kayano and Nimbus for years and loved them both. My friend started using the DS-Trainer and loved it so I purchased a pair and loved them too. I think this shoe is great! Light, stable and comfortable. What more do you want!

The sizing was way off, so I did not even want to try another pair. Usually I love this brand of shoes for walking and have not had size issues before.

Great running/workout shoe

By Billy from Chicago, IL on 06/06/2008

Describe Yourself:
Gym Rat
Sizing:
Feels half size too small

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use the shoe when running and working out in the gym. The gel system offers a lot of comfortable cushion. The shoe looks great and has an outer netting design that allows your feet to breath. I recommend this shoe for running as well as fitness activities.
