4.0 out of 5 stars Great Shoe!!!, February 18, 2010

This is by far the best model I've worn. I use to run in motion control because I had issues with overpronation. Recently, I decided to change my foot strike from heel to mid-foot to reduce injuries. Now that I'm a mid-foot striker, I wanted to gradually transition out of motion control to a minimal running shoes. I went from Brooks Beast to Asics Evolution to Asics Kayano to Mizuno Wave Inspire and now Asics GEL-DS. The heels are much lower than my previous shoes and they stay out of the way when I strike the ground. They are light and I I'm running faster during my speed workouts. They fit like a glove and I have no issues with blisters. I want to eventually transition to a minimal running shoes, but I like these so much that I might continue to run in them for the long run.

The only issue I have with this shoe is the soles are wearing fast. I have 50 miles in them and the outside edge of my fore-foot is wearing fast. I hope they last 300 miles.

Update:
The outside edges held up past 300 miles. I have one pair that wore down in the fore-foot to the mid-sole before reaching 250 miles. I think I did more speedwork in this pair since the other two pairs lasted more than 300 miles.

The shoe offers a great stability, very light, hold the foot very tight and that makes you feel like you are running barefoot. Again, my foot profile demands a "neutral" kind of support and that's what this model is for.

The shoe quality looks great. The sizing seems to be a half size small for me, and even with the duomax on the insole I found that this model is lacking the structure I need. If you need support/structure look at the GT or Kayano series.
