Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri™ 8

I've worn Asics for years and always wore a size 10 but the 10 was too small and not deep enough, if that makes any sense. I returned them a got a 10 1/2 and they fit fine. I do think they're not as wide as my other Asics. These are such fun shoes! You wouldn't believe the compliments I get on them. My daughters and grandkids love them. My sister...well, not so much. She says I'm too old to be bopping around in these. Hmmm, 74 isn't that old, right?! I would highly recommend them.

I look forward to putting these shoes on every day to go to aerobics classes. I'm 66 years old and I'm determined to keep fit. These sneakers fit like a glove with a great arch support. I've had extensive surgeries on both feet and find these to be 5 stars in all categories.

I adore Asics and they are my go-to brand for running shoes. I have trained for all my marathons in them, and I run at least five miles a day on a treadmill, on pavement, or on a trail in these shoes. They are fabulous! I do hate that the color scheme looks like the Riddler stepped on a child's birthday cake, but other than that, they are great!

This is my new favorite shoe! I wasn't hot on the color craziness at first, but they've grown on me, and they match everything I own! The upper shoe is extremely supportive and the toe box is roomy and very airy. The overall shoe is so incredibly light. I teach high intensity group fitness classes, and this shoe has officially replaced all others. I'm so grateful I finally found these. My feet thank you Asics.

I wear these shoes to the gym and they are very comfortable. I've had ASICs before and they seem to run about 1/2 size small. Normally, I wear a size 9, so I ordered a size 9 1/2 which fit well.

Love these shoes! Bought my first pair 18 months ago, after a high ankle sprain. My orthopedist and her entire staff were wearing them! They came highly recommended based on my injury, flat feet, supination problems -- as well as other issues. Because of all this, am very difficult to fit for a running shoe. The minute I tried these on, I felt like Cinderella with her glass slippers! A match made in heaven! These shoes are as comfortable as they are fun! And they're certainly a conversation piece! No more shin splints with these as well! With this kind of track record, it's worth having a second pair. Can't wait for my new ones! As is customary with this brand, order one size up. Wouldn't think of buying these any place but Zappos. What's not to love about tax free and expedited shipping -- to say nothing of amazing customer service excellence?! As always, I tip my hat and offer kudos to Zappos for their outstanding variety of shoes, apparel, customer support and assistance, and fabulous brand designers! You remain my favorite!

First of all... I used to be a hard core cross country runner when I was in high school many years ago. LOL. If these shoes would have been available to me back then, I would have purchased 5 pair, just so when it was time to get new shoes, I wouldn't have to search for the perfect replacement for something that is already perfect ESPECIALLY for the price! Currently, I have been wearing these shoes mostly for style and comfort. For the past few years due to my aggressive running when I was younger, my knees have been giving me problems. With these shoes, I do not have to worry about having to adjust or adding extra padding to the shoes (which I have had to do with some of the other brands I have worn). Style wise, I absolutely can't walk down the street without someone stopping me and asking me what kind of shoes these are! They are just that fashionable. And since I walk for long distances daily, it is nice to be able to wear a pair of shoes that have built in air conditioning as well! (^_^)

I absolutely love these shoes. I bought them the day before I left for vacation/½ marathon race. I put over 80 miles on them in less than a week and never had tired feet or blisters. I am definately buying a second pair. Thanks, Asics!

My daughter just started her new job as a registered nurse and I assured her that Asics was the most comfortable brand for someone on their feet all day. She has now worn them for two shifts and declared them the most comfortable shoe she has ever worn. No regrets on our purchase!

Awesome sneakers, true to size. Fit my arch perfectly and aided my tendonitis perfectly. I'm always switching between running sneakers and I keep returning to Asics. They're light but sturdy and provide a great platform for all terrains. Zappos shipping was exceptionally fast and was everything I expected and more, no complaints!

These shoes are amazing! I highly recommend them for running. I have been looking for a good pair of running shoes that did not aggravate my ankle injury while running (three miles). At this point the pain in my ankle is so bad that I do not enjoy running anymore and have been running less and less. During my search I stumbled on to these crazy colored shoes and after reading all the reviews decided to try them out. I received them yesterday and took them for a short one mile run on the treadmill. Usually, I feel my ankle pain within the first two minutes of running, but to my surprise there was no pain! So I gradually increased the speed trying to aggravate my ankle and again no pain! For the first time since my injury (about two years) I was able to run at my normal pace and experience absolutely no pain! I have to admit that I almost passed these up because of the color but once I got them I really liked them. They are so much fun and I am getting a lot of compliments on them. The sizing does run about a size too small. I normally wear a size 10 but ordered a 10½ and that fits like a glove. I am so glad that I purchased these shoes!

Kind of in love. Fit and style are perfect. Love this gold and black in person! So comfortable, great for a slightly narrow foot. By the way, I bought these a half size larger than my normal running shoe size because they do run small.

Very cute shoes. I have never gotten more compliments and people asking where I got my shoes. They make me smile when I'm working out which is always a good thing. They are super comfy and run true to size. Would buy again!

Love these shoes! I started running again after ten years and these shoes have been great. They are super light and good ventilation. Everyone likes how colorful they are too. I am happy that I bought this gel style after my sister suggested them.

Love this shoe! Had only worn them once before I ran a 5K and they were comfortable and light! Recommend this shoe!

I am a nurse and purchased these shoes for work. I get multiple compliments and inquires as to where I purchased the shoes daily. They are so comfy.

Love these shoes! I got them after I returned the Flashpoints that were uncomfortable. These have a heel cup that cradles your foot, and it truly feels like you're walking on a cushion. Can't recommend these highly enough! As always with Asics, need to size up one full size.

This shoe is great! Light, comfortable and enough support for the gym floor or walking/running. And the colors are sensational...you will stand out! But fun!

I am not a runner. I am unable to comment on that performance. I bought these GEL-Noosas strictly for walking and casual wear. For that purpose, I love them! They are very comfortable and true to size (for me). I have worn them right out of the box all day long and had no problems or pain. I like a deep toe box and these certainly have that - no pinching or rubbing anywhere. No break-in time needed. I would buy them again and recommend them for the purpose I have reviewed.

I wanted to love these, but the fit was just... off. They felt ever so slightly narrow compared to other Asics, but not too bad (and I do have wide feet--which a B width Asics normally accommodates just fine). The really weird thing fit-wise was that the raised arch area seemed to be about half an inch behind where my arch falls. The shoes are really cute, and almost fit well, but just seem different from the several other pairs of Asics I own in the same size.

These were definitely loud and I loved that!! Very comfortable and lightweight. You can see your socks through the mesh which was weird at first and if it's cold your feet can get cold. But overall I love these shoes and still wear them.

This is the best athletic shoe I have ever owned. I have received thousands of compliments. I have a recovering torn Achilles tendon and this shoe is great to transition from a boot. Also, it is classy enough to wear with business clothes. PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE, PERHAPS IN DIFFERENT COLORS TO WEAR TO THE OFFICE...PLEASE!

I love this sneaker! And I love all the fun colors! I get so many complements when I wear them. They are great for being on your feet all day. Or for a day with a lot of walking.

I love these! They are very comfortable and fun - I get compliments all the time. They are loud & wild, but that's what I like about them. I typically wear a 9 but ordered a 9.5 which works well.
