Men's Asics GEL-Neo33

I run 20-26 miles per week and this shoe so far has met my expectations. It is light, has great traction, and comfortable once broken in. I had to run a few times in them but after about 8-10 miles they are good-to-go. I have always liked ASICS and these are just another great product from a great running shoe company.

Great shoe. The only thing is that I put an insole in because there was zero arch support for my average arches!

ASICS, PLEASE! Make these in Wider size! I normally wear Kayano and 2100 series in Wide size. I really wanted feel the "33", so I gave a shot. Sure enough, they are tight around my fat toe (in other word, they are probably true to width) It's shame because I love how they feel, tried about 10 miles on them and love that minimalistic feel yet just enough buncing. Also felt I was not hiting at heel. Unfortunately, I had to give up on these awesome shoes because my toes couldn't take it. I'm sure if they were in wide width I would have logged 100 miles by now. P.S. I wrote to Asics, and all I got was "will pass it to shoes department". I guess I will go back to 2100.

For my long runs, I have used the Asics DS-Trainer and GT 21XX series over the past 10 years and the Neo33 strikes a balance between the two. It is listed as being slightly lighter than the DS Trainer and I feel that it gives a bit more of a stable ride while not being as stiff as the GT. The midfoot to forefoot transition felt slightly jerky for the first few miles but smoothed out and my legs felt fresher after the run than in either of the other two shoes. This shoe is nowhere near a minimalist shoe like a Saucony Kinvara but I liked the Neo33 so much that I have already bought a second pair to put in rotation.

Got these shoes as to wear everyday. They are great, super comfortable and supportive. The ventilation of the mesh top is great, but still keeps water out.
