I am a huge fan of Asics. I love the DS-13 trainer. However, the DS 14 is a little more clunky and cushioned than the DS 13. If you don't mind a heavier, bulkier trainer - more shoe, more support too - then go for it. However, if you enjoyed the near-perfect combination of cushioning, support, and lightness from the DS 13, then you will be disappointed. It feels like a Gel Landreth crossed with the DS 13. Too bad, because I need a new Gel trainer and this doesn't cut it.

I bought 3 pairs of these shoes for marathon training.

It did the trick and I scored a Boston qualifying time.

I'm a 25-30 mile per week runner and found this shoe very comfortable. The sole is wearing a lot faster than I would have expected, but I think it will last a full 500 miles so I guess I can't complain much. If you plan on putting much more than 500 miles on your shoes, this one probably isn't for you just because of the soft sole issue.

-a bit stiff... ended up returning them for that reason.
ASICS is probably the best running shoe company out there.
but they have made better shoes in my opinion.

I am 92kg runner with very mild pronation. This is a superb racing shoe for heavier runners with mild pronation. Just be aware that it has a lot less cushioning than the 2140 or Kayano shoes. I would not use it for training or racing any distance over 10 miles.

Ok for light runs, no good for long distance running (20 to 40 kms)
Comfortable walking shoe.

This is my first pair of Asics and I love them. They are light on my feet and feel better than the other brands of running shoes I've worn. I'm a 5k runner that logs around 10-12 miles a week. They fit great and my feet feel great after running. I would definately recommend these.

Good shoe - light, but not the lightest - I use them for 5Ks and 10Ks - they feel great

Very solid shoes and got it at a great price on Amazon. I run 15-20 miles per week outdoors and the wear doesn't seem to be as bad as some of the reviews suggested. Maybe I'll notice it a bit more in a few weeks but so far so good. The shoe is very light and fits my foot well. I have flat feet and a neutral pronation.

These were purchased for my teenage son, and here's what he says. "These are great shoes! I run a few times a week to stay in shape for football and baseball, and these shoes are the best I've had! They are light and comfortable."
