Review on 🏃 ASICS Gel-Noosa Tri 12 Men's Running Shoes by Christopher Todd

I wanted to love these shoes. I have run the ASICS Cumulus 15 and 18 for 2 marathons (LA 2011 and 2001) in the last 10+ years and have loved them. Wanted to try them for my first half ironman. The black/coral color was cool. Ordered from Revain (First time ordering shoes without trying them on - my first mistake) What I like: The shoes are great for training, light but stable and well supported as ASICS knows. Cool color: many compliments. Black/Coral What I didn't like: When running, the tongue curls on the sides and hurts the arch of the foot The forefoot is not as wide as the 15 and 18 cumulus (I heard/read) ASICS changed the styling of the later cumulus also so the legs don't have much room to swell. The elastic lacing system is a cool idea but they aren't long enough. (Recommend sending 2 different lengths of this system) They include a set or regular laces but I bought because of the lacing system. Overall if the language is corrected and you have sent/offered multiple lace lengths for the speed lace system I would give them 5 stars.
