4.0 out of 5 stars Great running shoes for me, September 8, 2009

This review is from: ASICS Women's GEL-Speedstar 3 Running Shoe (Apparel)

I got this pair of Speed Star about a month ago with another pair of casual shoes from Asics. I feel like I have not worn the Speed Star long enough to give a more dependable review ( I only wear them for jogging and I jog about3 times a week), which is the reason I only gave it 4 stars, but so far it has been meeting my expectations. I'm an Asian and have a small bone structure so I really wanted a pair of light-weight jogging shoes that can give me a good support and cushion without a heavy bottom. And the speed star is definitely extremely light-weighted (I believe it has the least weight of all Asics running shoes) and the gel gives me enough support and cushion. Since I have not worn it long, it still has a little new-shoes feeling, but it's definitely getting more comfortable. For people with the same body build like me, I definitely recommend this one. But if you are big-boned you may want a little more support than this. Just to make it fair I have to admit that it is not the best jogging shoes I ever had. I had a pair of blue Nike shoes (I forgot name) that I wore for, like, 2+ years, for all kinds of work-out when I was in school and it was just perfect. It was very much like the Speed Star but fit more comfortably and had no shoe-laces. (I know it was hard to believe running shoes without shoe laces but I swear it was great.) But Nike does not make them anymore (the Nike free-style are sort of look-alike but I got a pair it broke in less than a month and did not feel any thing like my old pair and extremely ugly) so I would say right now the Speed Star is the definite choice if you want a pair a jogging shoes that looks great, extremely light-weighted and performs well at the same time. Certain websites suggest for Asics you should get one size larger than usual but this is not the case with me.
