The GEL-DS TRAINER™ 25 running shoe from ASICS is an excellent choice for runners who want to go fast. The shoe helps you achieve those running goals with a great fit around the midfoot and lightweight FLYTEFOAM® technology in the midsole for a snappy response. This limited model offering also celebrates the annual Wuxi Marathon with a special colorway. The PROPULSION TRUSSTIC™ SYSTEM technology in the shoe's outsole mirrors the foot's ligaments, creating a powerful lever to propel your stride. GEL® technology in the rearfoot also adds cushioning to reduce the severity of shock upon impact. A specialized panel on the inside of the shoe helps provides a great overall fit, while the new contoured sockliner mirrors the natural shape of the foot to promote greater comfort. Additionally, the full ground contact design of the outsole formulates a smooth transition from foot strike to toe off.
Pronation
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GEL-DS TRAINER 25 WM is made for Overpronation and Neutral.

Light Minimalist ShoeI tried the GEL-DS trainer in place of wearing Brooks Ravenna shoes for years. With the need of having to wear a stability shoe to a void knee and foot pain, I would say this shoe has a light stability with a snug/molded fit and lightness without bulk, offering a 10 mm drop, allowing one to power walk/run faster. After wearing the shoe for 4 months, I find the shoe has a firm/hard insole that I would love to see a more softer cushion (especially in the front of the shoe). With more cushion added to this shoe, it would become my new GO TO shoe replacing my Brooks Ravenna. Thanks Asics for a nice stability shoe!

Amazing ShoesI have had these shoes for about two weeks now. I use them for running and workouts. I wore them out once and people complemented me on them. They are, literally, the most comfortable shoe I have ever work, period. I am not even exaggerating. They are like being barefoot but with a magical protective layer around your feet. They are like wearing firm socks. They are breathable and light. The front part stays a little upward, which works out great for me. Feels a little like I'm tip-toing, but without any strain.
Bonus: The laces are very cute and they do not loosen easily.
I have a somewhat narrow foot with a deep arch.

Sizing changed!I’ve been wearing these since 2009 and always get a size 8. This new model feels about 1/2 a size too large. I tried on two older pairs to confirm. I’m disappointed.

Hard but stylishBought these through Amazon and recieved 4 days earlier than expected. I love the style, but very stiff (more so than just a new shoe kind of firm) and the soles are hard as well. Otherwise, fit is perfect, fits like a glove, and they do great to support my flat feet and ease knee pain. Warning to potential buyers, they are slimmer than other Asics I've worn.

Very uncomfortable insolesI bought these shoes for running and walking. My feet have been hurting with my old shoes so I wanted some new running shoes with comfortable insoles. These insoles are firm and hard. They are not at all comfortable. I ended up order some Dr. Scholls insoles instead of just returning the shoes. Overall I like how the shoe looks however they are not as comfortable as described.

Cute but FlimsyThe laces on this shoe are too short and thin. Flimsy mesh construction, my toes are clearly visible from the top. Cute but not well made with no support. Will stick with Gel Kayano in future which I love.
