Women's Asics GEL-Blur33

I have always been a big fan of the Kayano (14, 15, 16) and decided to try a lighter weight shoe. Despite being a "minimalist" shoe, the Gel-Blur offers fantastic cushioning and stability (I tend to overpronate a little). These shoes are super light weight and so comfortable! The only thing I noticed is that I had to order a half size larger than what I wore in the Kayanos. Definitely going to get another pair!

I usually run with the Nike Free or Reebok RealFlex, so I like a pretty flexible, minimal shoe when I run. I got this shoe for a bit of added support for my longer runs. The soles of these shoes are very flexible but not quite as much as the more minimal shoes I usually run with. In addition, there is a good amount of support and cushioning around the ankle of the shoe. The shoes are light and breathable, as well. Overall, it is a comfortable shoe that I would recommend to the neutral shoe wearer who likes a shoe that is more on the minimal side.

A few months ago I was looking to transition into minimalist running shoes for a variety of reasons. However, I tried to transition too fast and ended up with tendonitis in my ankle. Just recently I discovered the Asics 33 line and a friend gave me a pair of Blurs to try. I absolutely love them. They are a minimalist style shoe with a enough cushioning to enable a smooth transition to an even more minimal shoe, or to use if you are the type of runner that needs a little more cushioning than barefoot running, or runs on pavement a lot. These are also great shoes for the gym.

I love these shoes, they are comfortable and look fantastic if you like bright colours. The only negatvie I have is that the laces are really really short!! I also wear Kayanos for running but haven't tried these for running only classes.
