Asics Gel-DS Trainer 14 
Posted: 14/10/09
'LIGHT BUT STILL CUSHIONED'
Strengths:
Well cushioned for lighter weight shoe. Mild stability would suit neutral runners too over long distances.
Weaknesses:
Quite expensive and heel fit took a while to get right with loop lacing.
Overall:
A really good shoe suitable for training and racing. Highly recommended.
