Not sure what makes these shoes so expensive because they are on the minimist side in regards to structure and padding, yet the sole is nicely supportive. This makes the shoe nice ans lightweight but unfortunately difficult to tie... they can easily be too loose or too tight and the quality of your socks make a big difference. I find myself retying them often within the 1st 5min in order to get a comfortable fit, once achieved they are great! Prefer the GT1000 though for the ankle support and comfort.

Light and comfortable. Good for 12 hours on your feet. Not bulky. Recommended.

These shoes are light on your feet, which is a plus! However, they aren't as supportive as previous Gel-DS trainers -- I have the 24's and found those to be more cushioned while still being a lightweight shoe.

My favorite shoes. Why are they discontinued????? These were the best shoes ever. So much better than these bulky high cushioned running shoes these days. Please bring this model back!! There is nothing like it! These are the perfect lightweight shoe with just a touch of stability.

Great lightweight show for a neutral foot. I like this shoe because of the high durability - the knit fabric doesn't rip easily and the tread doesn't wear.

Very comfortable and supportive! Gets lots of compliments on the fun color. I wear them for work since I'm on my feet all day.

I get a new pair of these sneakers every four months. No other sneaker is as lightweight for jumps, and flexible, especially laterally, while being supportive enough, for me. I teach zumba three or more days per week.

This is my third year in a row I am purchasing the same shoe. I overpronate when running and these shoes have done the trick to eliminate years of battling tendinitis. I was a New Balancer show brand user for at least a decade. It will be Asics for me!

These are the best shoes that I have ever worn for aerobic activities. They felt super comfortable from the first time I put them on and they give great support. I can't list any negatives.

The DS trainer has been my daily running shoe for about 3 years. This is the shoe that works for me so I love it. Don't change it! It is hard to find a shoe for a moderate overpronation. Now make this in a trail shoe!

The DS trainer is a sturdy but lightweight running shoe. I have been wearing this shoe for over 15+ years!

These are just super chill, light weight running shoes. They offer enough support without feeling bulky. I do not do a ton of mileage though (maybe 10-20 mpw), so that's important to mention in regard to the support these shoes offer.

These feel like I'm walking on air. Zero days required to break in - they felt great from the first moment. Really impressed with the sole design and grip - never feel like I'm going to slip, no matter the surface.

Love these! Colors are pretty, style is sleek. I love that they are versatile, i can use for weight training, cross training, walking and running. So comfy on my terrible, achy feet.

The GEL-DS TRAINER 26 has a great fit, true to size, and gives a lot of support to my heel and sole. I would recommend this to anyone who has plantar fasciitis or other foot issues as the comfort they provide is great!

The laces come undone frequently but they are super light weight and comfortable for my feet! I work 3- 12 hour shifts back to back and my feet do not hurt at all!
