Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 25

Seems good so far. Nice look. Sizing seems to be larger

I recommend this shoe for intervalltraining, and faster running. Lightweigthed and perfect passform.

It might be tight for those with wide feet. I like the heel as it has very good grip on the ankle, it is good for people like me with flexible ankle.

I love the look of these shoes, although I feel like they run a little big. I normal size up from 8 1/2 to 9 for my running shoes to give me more toe room. These are a little too big. Good for walking though.

Not a flashy shoe. I mostly use this shoe for doing my circuit training and weight lifting. I tried trail running once in these shoes and it was not the best idea. This shoe is not as supportive for running as what I'm typically used to, but works perfectly for what I'm using them for.

Love the style! It works well for elliptical workout and short distance walking but maybe not running. Not much cushion in these.

These shoes are extremely light and a lot more support than you would expect from a pair of ultra light shoes. For me, I am very much used to shoes with much more support such as Nimbus and GT-2000. I usually run quite long distances and feel very much nimbus is still my every day choice. The DS is reserved for very short interval sessions.

Super comfy on the sole but narrow fit on the feet; even with alternative lacing, toes still went numb when running.

An excellent shoe that protects my feet in every step!

Love the way these shoes look and I've been enjoying them for my runs. I have rather high arches and wider feet so I do feel some tightness around the top of my foot despite loosening the laces, but I'm hopeful this will improve as I break the shoes in.

Very comfortable and supportive, as well as stylish! They're very easy to run in, pleased overall

Comfortable to wear everyday and good cushion support and allows air to flow through - all together a good pair of trainers !

My feet are not petite I should hv got a wide size

Good support, a bit wide in the toes. The top bunches up at the beginning of the shoe lace. Not enough cushion under the toe pad. The cushion tends to make my feet bow out (the left side of the food is higher than the right). I was happy with the fit and walked around with them in my home first once out and about though the fit issues began showing and I'm not that satisfied with the comfort and support.

Normally wear a size 8, but this was bigger than normal. Kinda makes my feet look bigger than they are .

I should have gone in store and tried them on instead of ordering online. I found them to be extremely uncomfortable. They were hard, the laces were difficult, and they did not fit a high arch very well. Luckily my mom wears a similar size shoe and she tried them on and said they work for her. (She has flat feet). I was really disappointed they didn't work because they were extremely cute and would have gone well with everyday activewear.

The look of the shoe is great, but for me, the shoe did not seem to have as much support as my other ASICS. They also seem to run a little big, compared to my other ASICS.

This is my second pair of gel trainers and am having the same issue with both pairs. The tread on the soles is separating apart in the same spots near the ball of my foot. I contacted customer support afyer the first pair did it but there's so many hoops to jump through to return/exchange I gave up and ordered another pair. Now these are doing the same :/ its a bunmer because they're super comfortable shoes and offer great arch support.

I normally buy the keyano model which provides the support I need. This model said it had the same support but I had chin splints after a walk. That never happens to me unless my sneakers are old. I like how light these shoes are, but they don't provide me enough support. My chins hurt.

I never buy shoes online and this is why, so it's totally on me. Pros - the shoe is SUPER light weight and I really liked the colors & fabric. Overall it fit really well. I usually get 8s or 8 1/2s and the 8s in this model fit perfect for length & width. Cons - It's really hard, not a soft shoe at all which is why I rate it slightly uncomfortable. The shoelaces are too stiff. I get needing a little stiffness so they'll stay as tight as you pull them, but these are really hard to tighten up. I've had ASICS before and don't remember them being hard when you put your foot in or difficult to lace up. I went with average quality rating since I just got the shoes and have only worn them once. Their quality could be great or poor - but won't know for a few weeks/months.

Not a bad shoe but not as comfortable as all other Asics i have tried. Also, has a very rough texture on the bottom of the shoe so i dont recommend them for indoor training if you have rubber mats or use a yoga mat. They have shredded an area of my rubber tiles. Wish i liked them more cause they are so cute!

These are super cute but they lack the support and cushion that I get in the Kayano. They are light weight and a great casual show but I can't run in these.

It looks nicer than it is worn. The insole cushion is not supportive enough. I will not recommend it for running.
