ASICS Women's Gel-DS Racer 10 Running Shoe
Product ID: 816975918
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul. Review: Would definitely buy again! - I have wont asics shoes for 20 years, this is the first shoe that I have bought that seems to run small. I even ordered 1/2 size up, like I always have but there wasn't as much room in the toe box as previous DS Racers. the shoe is ultra light which I love. I also love the colors. For the most part the shoe is great for running. I did notice there isn't much cushion in the metatarsal area after doing a impromptu step aerobics class, but I have never had any problems while running. I definitely recommend these shoes for shorter distances. Review: Light Running Shoe - Super Light Running Shoe for Size 14. This shoe fits great and I paired it with locklaces. I log 10 miles running and 8 to 10 miles on the eliptical each week so I typically wear through shoes every 4 or 5 months. The last pair of asics I purchased were great and I still use them but they developed a small hole on the nylon upper. I purchased these after a stint with adidas climacool that were a bit to heavy and also developed a hole in the nylon upper. These are the closest I can get to the adizero feather 2 and asics gel hyper speed 6 (3 ounces lighter). They have a better drop which provides an arch that I do not have naturally. This makes it more comfortable than the shoes I mentioned above. Overall I rate it high but I am fearful of the nylon upper durability. No matter the brand it seems as if durability is sacrificed for lighter weight material.

Light Running Shoe
Super Light Running Shoe for Size 14. This shoe fits great and I paired it with locklaces.

Not durable!
The shoes are lightweight, fast, comfortable and give you a little bit of support and cushioning. BUT!!! The sole wears off way to fast. On the photo you can see my shoe I bought 2 month (and about 200 miles) ago. My Nimbus 17 last at least 3 times as long! Buy them every two months? No thank you! I'd rather try NB 1500v2.

This is a really nice looking shoe - both the red and it was a great color. Seemed to run a bit large which is why I returned it. Seemed to be a nice, lightweight shoe.

As racing flats, these are still pretty comfortable
As I started racing more 5K and 10Ks, I decided to try some flatter shoes. Having liked the DS trainer line of shoes from Asics, I figure I'd take a shot with these to see if they helped my racing time & performance. Good: * Feels unbelievably lightweight and easy to run in * Comfortable in the toebox, and not too tight * You really can't get more support & cushioning from a pair of shoes this minimal/lgihtweight * I've set reasonably solid PRs in both 5K and 10K races with these Ok: * If you aren't a relatively lightweight experienced runner, you'll want much more support out of your shoes * Anything over 10K of training or racing of the track, and your knees won't be happy with you unless you are used to flatter shoes * I still reach for more heavy-duty models (DS trainers, nimbus/cumulus) for off-track speedwork and longer runs Ugly: * Laces don't stay secured as easily as other models, as I've had single knots come undone mid-race (but still managed to PR at a 10K with a shoe-tying break)

Not comfortable & not what I expected. Returned them.

NOT for overpronators
This is a good quality shoe but it has no midfoot support even though it's advertised as recommended for mild to moderate overpronators. I do not recommend it for overpronators at all.

Light and Fast
The Gel DS Racer 10 initially fit a tad snug, but when I hit the road for a 7 miler they felt great. The shoe fit guide advised to order a half a size larger, but for a light weight trainer and racer I prefer snug to sloppy. My 5k times are 20 minutes and my half marathon times are 1:30. I chose this shoe because it provides some support while being light in weight - the alternative was to purchase a true racing flat.

Super Wettkampfschuh
Habe den Schuh bekommen und konnte diesen gleich bei einen Testlauf über 10 km auspropieren und konnte feststellen das der Schuh ein sehr leichter Laufschuh ist, der einen guten Tragekomfort hat. Da dieser doch relative wenig Dämpfung hat werde ich noch bei einigen Wettkämpfen über 10 km bzw HM einlaufen bevor es zum Marathon im April geht. Ubedingt größer kaufen da ich mir 44.5 statt 44 gekauft habe und dieser Schuh passt mir gerade.
