The GEL-LYTE™ V sneaker blends all-day comfort with contemporary design elements. Crafted with a premium leather upper construction, this retro running shoe puts the brand's 90s technology, like the GEL® cushioning unit and mono-sockliner on display. Born to redefine performance running in 1993, this heritage silhouette wraps the forefoot with a mono-sockliner to create snug support, while a layer of GEL® cushioning in the heel enables a plush landing on every step. The GEL-LYTE™ V sneaker offers long-lasting comfort while implementing design nuances that performance ASICS running styles incorporate today.
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-Lyte V is made for Neutral.

How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Great shoes!These shoes are great! I love the way they look and they're very comfortable. They do fit a little snug due to my gout in my right foot but other than that they're great shoes. If they came out with at 10.5W I'm sure they would've fit better.

Disappointed on the Gel areaI was quiet excited to order another gel lyte v, but very disappointed.
1. Gel lyte V used to have a lot of "Gel" at the bottom near the heel; but apparently this one has probably on fifth of the GEL. Not comfy as before.
2. Be aware of the size, gel lyte V need to order half size longer.

AsicsThe comfort is something you can’t stop getting once you start, and for the price these shoes are top tier. However there was an irritating seam rubbing the side of my foot, which I fixed.

New go-to sneakerThis is my second pair of Gel Lyte V's and I am pretty sure this will be my new go-to sneaker. They mix style and comfort better than anything else I have come across. This colorway is very versatile and should pair well with sneakers or khakis. They do run a bit small.

Awesome comfortable good looking shoesDear Asics,
Thank you for making this shoe. I've actually tried the saga and lyte III, but due to some strange stitching on the upper, outer corners (near the pinky toe), the stitching would rub against the base of my pinky toe, which really sucked.
Thankfully, the gel-lyte V doesn't have this problem. The only reason why I didn't try the gel-lyte V earlier was because of that ugly (no offense) semi-circular off-color pattern going on near the back-side of the sole. Again, thankfully Asics pulled through with a monotone color for the mid sole, looks a lot sharper and less try-hard imo.
Regarding other things... the shoe is really light and comfortable.
If you got big, wide feet, probably this isn't the shoe for you. I imagine that this shoe is targeted at a younger audience, who tend to have narrower feet. If you're a youngin who can fit into adidas/vans/nike skateshoes, this shoe will fit like a glove.

Size, color- bad.Not TTS, way too small, couldn’t even get my foot in. Color is much lighter than what is pictured, really just an inaccurate depiction. After two weeks I still haven’t received my refund.
