ASICS Women's Gel-Noosa Tri 12 Running Shoes: Optimal Performance and Style For Female Athletes Review

I really liked 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 half a size up from Asics. 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!

These shoes fit perfectly. I usually wear size 9 in sports shoes, 7.5-8 in street shoes. My feet are a bit narrow and as I read in the comments before they are probably better for narrower feet. I had a pair of Gel Noosa years ago and wore them until they ran out. The colors are very similar to the ones I had, bright and beautiful! You will have many people telling you that they love your shoes as was the case with my last pair. Highly recommended!

These shoes are awesome. I usually women 9-9.5 US. These shoes are very light, have a durable, flexible outsole for walking, excellent arch and heel support, wide enough in the front for the toes but narrow enough to provide comfortable but snug support and cushioning for the entire foot. The laces are elastic with knots, which makes the laces no longer loosen when running. They work on both pavement and grass with just enough grip and propulsion to let you run free. Overall 10/10

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Asics are the most comfortable Asics I currently own. I am a longtime customer of asics. Over 15 years. I was a fan of the Kayano but as updates were made they became uncomfortable and hurt my legs. I tried several others and was very disappointed with Asics. Searching for comfort for high intensity workouts I found these babes and I love them. They are perfect for narrow feet. If you have wide feet, try not to buy. You will not fit. Thanks asix. I

I was really looking forward to these shoes! I really wanted to like her. Second, I put them on, I knew it wouldn't be good. Despite the low weight, you can feel everything through the shoes. Not shock absorbing. After 20 minutes there were blisters on the legs and heels. The tread on them is great for trail and road running, but I wouldn't want that given the pain it would cause. The shoes look good but even if I just walked in them it would absolutely hurt. I can feel it in my ankles and…

Love love love this shoes! I was looking for a pair of shoes to do my HITT workouts in that were cushioned but not bulky. I struggle with foot pain and also struggle with plantar fasciitis. I need a lot more pillows! Most running shoes with good cushioning are too big and make aerobic and HITT workouts uncomfortable! They are lightweight, not bulky at all, have good cushioning while still offering stability. I just love how they hug my legs. I will say that they are made for a narrower foot…
