Comfortable shoes

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

These are very comfortable trainers. I bought them after spending a long time researching how to take up running, and this was the model that had been recommended to me. I’d advise going up a size to avoid any problems with your toenails.

Fantastic!

Yes, I recommend this

I absolutely LOVE these trainers, they feel like you’re running on air! I’d been looking on the M&S website for a while as I knew these were the trainers I wanted after doing my research, I missed out on the last deal they did but this time I was lucky, so glad I persevered and managed to get them at a great price!

Novablast

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a half size bigger than usual and this seems to have made a difference. I’ve lots of room particularly up front - I’ve just had to get used to really lacing them up properly. I’m finding them very comfortable and I like the cushioning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shoes after hearing so many good things about them and wow it's true, they are really good. I struggled with come calves pain and was advised to change my shoes and get some that were slightly more cushioned and since using the novablast 5 I haven't had any pain and they are super supportive while running

Almost perfect!

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to previous ASICS pairs I’ve owned, the toe area used to feel much sturdier than the ankle section. With these, it seems to be the opposite — and the toe durability really suffers because of it. The material around the toe is already starting to break down, almost like the shoe is disintegrating there. I hope the next version brings back more overall sturdiness and toughness throughout the shoe.
