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.

Great for workouts, would buy again!
Bought these in January 2021 and I love them. I am a collegiate distance runner and use these for harder workouts. I have run 200m up to 2mi tempos and love them for both, but especially for the tempos/longer workouts. I normally train in the ASICS kayano, and these feel so much lighter compared to those and these are very comfortable. I love the color also and all my teammates commented on how fresh they are. Would definitely buy again and looking forward to using these in road races post-collegiate.
My only complaint is that I have worn a size 6.5 in the kayano for years, but the 6.5 in these feel too big and I probably would prefer a size 6, but I ordered online and didn't feel like sending these back and waiting for new ones.

Comfort
Not comfortable at all. I hate to think when I start using them as my walking shoes. I’ll give them a try though.

Super cute, but cannot run in them as planned
These shoes are SO CUTE! Unfortunately if I run more than about a mile, my knee starts hurting. I will not be able to wear these running as planned :(

shoes too small
Good day
I sent an e-mail more than a week ago, but have not received any reply. The shoes are too small despite ordering my regular size. I noticed that the shoes were made in Vietnam. I have a pair made in Indonesia that fits me perfectly in the same US size. I also bought another pair in a different color. I need to return these, but had a few concerns that I discussed in my e-mail. Still waiting on the reply though.
