Asics Men's Gel-Hyper Speed 2 Reviews

Summary: What a feeling!
Comment: I have previously used the Asics ds-racer as my racing shoe, but wanted to try something else. I went with the gel-hyper speed 2, and this proved to be a wise decision.

The build-up of the shoe is like none other I have tried. The heel is almost totally gone, which makes it virtually impossible to land with the heel first, making it easier to run on the forefoot. Forefoot-running is after all our natural way of running, try running barefoot and see.

This shoe is very light, has a good fit, and shows no tendency to blister my heel, in contrast to the ds-racer. Overall, I couldn't be happier. This shoe will be my steady companion in races in the future, no doubt about it.

I had to go up half a size in these, compared to both my Asics Gel Kayano and Asics DS Racer, something to think about.

Summary: Incredibly light!!!!!!!!
Comment: This shoe is far lighter than I even anticipated. I've tried them out on the treadmill, but not outside yet, and I love them. They're so light they feel like socks, not sneakers. And amazingly comfortable!!!
