 Great support for intense training Jul 04, 2010
By HTBK
I needed to find better shoes to use with P90X (especially Plyo). I was using running shoes, but they're made to support with forward motion, not side to side or vertical jumps. My husband did a lot of research, which led to these shoes. They are supportive, have just the right amount of bounce, and don't shift in any direction. They have enough mesh fabric to let your feet breathe, and they are very comfortable. I've been using them for several months for weightlifting, plyometrics, and kenpo, and have no regrets.
These are the shoes my husband ended up getting: ASICS Men's GEL-Intensity Training Shoe

Good cross trainers Sep 19, 2010
By Stephanie
I bought this shoes without being able to try them on but I have another pair of Asics so I knew what size I had in the other ones. If you've never owned Asics they tend to run about 1/2 to a full size small, i usually wear an 8.5 or 9 in most other training shoes and in Asics i have to get a 9.5. Also when i first tried these on I thought the regular might have been too tight through the toes but after the first couple times I wore them I was glad I got the regular instead of the wide. The insoles of these are also removable, so if you have your own orthotics you will be able to put them in these shoes. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase of these shoes.

 a little narrow Apr 03, 2010
By H. Hok
I usually wear a size 9E or 9EE. I have a very wide forefoot, a very high arch, and kind of narrow heel. I like the Asics gel shoes because they are very very soft and cushiony but I have found that there is never enough room in the toebox with any of this brand's styles. I would say that Asics in general run about one size more narrow then other brands and there wasn't quite enough height in the toebox of the 160Tr either because I could feel the seam of the shoe on top of my second to last toe when I tried these on. I have purchased Asics a half size larger before (9.5) and that did solve my width problems but when I ran in them my foot would slide back and forth within the shoe. I have lessened the amount of sliding by purchasing a slightly longer shoestring and just using the final lace hole by the ankle when I tie my shoes. It's a lot of work for a shoe that doesn't quite fit but I like the sole so much I am usually willing to put up with the narrow fit for the advantage of a softer run.
Also there is no mesh on this shoe, instead it is all leather. I think it would get a little hot but if you don't live in Georgia you may want an all leather shoe that helps keep you warm.

Asics Womens Gel-160TR Jul 20, 2011
By smllakbum
I had been a loyal New Balance customer for years, but after reading Consumer Report's review of the Asics Gel-150 I decided to give the Gel-160 a try (basically because I couldn't get the 150 anymore). What a great shoe! I was looking for cushioning and stability and a shoe that wouldn't slide off my heel during lunges and this shoe delivers all of those requirements. This particular Gel-160 does have the leather upper, which I'm hoping will make it last longer than the mesh, and my foot doesn't feel any hotter than it did in a mesh shoe. I wear it for weight training, step class, running/walking and general cross-training and in the two weeks that I've had it, it has performed great. Fits well, hugs your foot without being constricting. I did buy longer laces so I could use the last hole (my heel is very narrow and I needed to do so to prevent the feeling that it was going to slide off my heel during lunges), and now it's like the shoe was made for my foot. You can really feel the gel cushioning when doing any kind of walking/running or bouncing move, and the shoe works really well in keeping your foot stabilized and not wobbling or rolling from side to side. The arch support is great for those of us with higher arches, and there's plenty of room in the toe box for me. I highly recommend this shoe! ASICS Women's GEL-160TR Training Shoe

Very Comfortable...Great Deal! Nov 02, 2010
By SpankyDog
These shoes are excellent for group exercise classes. I use them for BodyPump, Zumba and Step. They have great support and my feet do not hurt after workouts. I would highly suggest these shoes.
