Comfortable, but make me feel a little flat-footed

Light, comfortable and nice to run in. I don't wear socks so don't have a sock problem.

I have moved from Asics Gel Cumulus 11's. So not quite the same cushioning, but I feel like I can run faster... though at slower paces these shoes make me feel flat-footed. ie. I "slap" the pavement a little until I speed up...
I also sweat more around my feet in these shoes..

I like them... but still feel like I haven't found my ideal shoe yet. When I do I'll buy ten pairs of them so they last ten years!

I have the same problem as Hell Runner...it feels as if my socks are creasing under the balls of my feet

trainers are comfortable and feel light on the feet

The sock problem - but then I have exprienced this with most of my trainers - all have been asics!! Has anyone a solution??

If my feet settle down then a great value trainer...

Gutted

I have been wearing Asics GT21x0 series for a number of years but the latest model is unwearable for me. When running it feels like a sock is creased or gathered under the toes, causing then to feel bruised. This only occurs in one foot. I am gutted that I am going to have to look for a new brand having been able to rely on Asics for so long.

Good for helping with injury re-habilitaion

Generous Heel and mid-foot cushioning

I've had stiff lower legs (below the level of the gastroc) for quite a while, and one of the legs wasn't getting any better - so I changed from a pair of Brooks to these, the cushioning is noticeably better and I feel like I'm not hitting the ground with a 'thud' any more. After five runs, both legs are back to 100% with no pain/stiffness, I'm assuming this is due to better vibration absorption in these shoes. They've probably not solved whatever the root cause of my problems were, but they've definitely compensated and allowed me to up my mileage again, pain free.

Great shoe!

I am a moderate over pronator. I have had these shoes now for about 3 months and cannot say enough good things about them. Well cushioned, great fit and support without being heavy or cumbersome.
