5The perfect running shoe.  Aug 22, 2011
By Scuba78
I have found these shoes to be the most comfortable running shoe I have worn thus far. Great support and very light. The off centre laces offer a level of comfort that I haven't noticed in others.

4Changes on the DS Trainer  Feb 17, 2011
By Fred
The DS 16 incorporates a new feature. While the last itself is the same as prior models, the inner heel area is a separate piece which snugly wraps around the heel area.

It is definitely a different feel from earlier versions of the DS; more support and perhaps heavier. Since I only wore them on a short break-in run, I can't assess performance on a training run. I thought I would provide a heads-up since it is new and different for the DS line.

4Solid lightweight stability trainer (with some unwelcome changes)  Sep 21, 2011
By HarbingerKing
I consider myself a serious runner and am fairly accomplished in the realm of the 5k-10k (xc, track, and road). I have been training in the DS Trainer for a few years now, since the 14 first came out. It is an excellent shoe for mild overpronators who want something that is supportive yet lightweight (this one weighs in at around 10.5 or 11 ounces, depending on your size).

However, I was disappointed by the changes made in this model (the 16). The separate heel piece seemed like a cool innovation, but it turns out that it improves the fit of the shoe very little (if at all) while adding to its bulk and weight. The 16 is indeed a few tenths of an ounce heavier than its predecessors. Also, the gray suede bits are just silly (running shoes don't need suede). I actually think this may be the ugliest shoe I have ever run in.

Anyways, I put a good 400 miles on these and was pretty happy with them, but when it came time for new shoes I actually went online and ordered a pair of the old 15. Maybe I just don't like change, but I really hope that the next iteration of this great shoe returns to the more conservative construction and lighter, slimmer feel of the older models.

5a brief review  Apr 20, 2012
By Wendell
Let me preface this with a disclaimer: the only running shoes that I will even consider buying are Asics. If you think that I am alone in my preference for Asics, go to a 5K and take note to the high percentage of running wearing Asics. I own about a dozen pairs of Asics and these are by far my favorite. The fact that they are eye catching (without going to the level of the Asics Gel Noosa Tri-6) is a plus but pales in comparison to how light yet supportive they are. I have put a beating on them in the past 4 months and they have held up extremely well.
