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. The PROPULSION TRUSSTIC™ 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. Comfortable, powerful and light, the GEL-DS TRAINER™ 25 shoe has everything you need to pick up your pace.
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 is made for Overpronation and Neutral.

Good Lightweight Trainer
Good lightweight trainer and can be used as a racing shoe. Durability is somewhat an issue. I get 200 to 250 miles out of a pair. Would not recommend for heavier runners.

Great Shoe, Minor Downgrade
I've been a DS Trainer fan for many years, and have always found these shoes to reflect the best design balance of low weight, moderate cushioning, and durability. The "25" is no exception, and is still a great shoe. As in other years, ASICS feels compelled to change something from the previous year. This year it was the tongue, which is thinner than previous versions. That doesn't make a big difference, but it does make them slightly less comfortable and for this model makes me rate them a 4 rather than a 5. Otherwise, a great choice.

Light, fast, true to the nature of the shoe. It has a great fit and is truly a nimble, light weight trainer.

Great for fast workouts!
I was looking for a lighter trainer for my fast days and for potential distance races coming up. I wanted to try something new and these are great. They are light, fit well, and fast! Great companion to my workhorse 2000 Ks.

Speedy shoes
A little stiff at first but once you wear them in they feel like cushioned socks. Definitely a light and fast shoe. Great for speedwork
