👟 ASICS Women's Gel-Noosa Tri 12 Running Shoes: Optimal Performance & Style for Female Runners Review

I love all Gel Noosa shoes. My only complaint is the elastic cleats that come with the shoes. Make your shoes too tight/uncomfortable when walking. My toes went numb during a short run. Switched to regular laces and they have been in perfect condition ever since!

I bought size 8 and it fits perfectly! They taper slightly around the arch and widen at the top. They are airy and very light. The sole is noisy when walking. not a creak, but the sound of "a new footstep on concrete." I love the no-tie laces, but they also came with regular black laces.

I really wanted to love these shoes. They are supposed to be "Tri" shoes as stated in the description. However, they have a kind of hard binding around the tongue that, if you wear them barefoot (since many triathletes don't wear socks when they run), digs into the top of the foot. Why use a hard rim around the tongue? So sad. Got them reconfigured and it costs the extra $5.

I always buy Asics half a size bigger. I've been wearing Noosa Tri's since I was 9 and always wear a size 10. This one is clearly at least 1/2 size too big. Should have gotten a 9.5. Other than that, I love the colors, the feel of the shoe (strong and light) and the stretchy laces. Will definitely try it and see how it works, hope it doesn't fall off my feet!
