  • asics gel lyte evo blackred

One of the signatures of the EvoRide series is its seamless heel-to-toe transitions. And in this iteration, it only gets better. One of the critics who commented on the shoe's rocker design even cool that you only have to "lean into the rocker at faster paces and away you go." Another one adds that the "constant rolling effect makes you feel sprightly and always ready for the next stride."

Experts' reviews on the shoe's ride go from "far too harsh and imposing" to "strikes a sensational balance between light and responsive, yet soft and forgiving." This said, it's already clear that runners love the new midsole formula. It's no longer the firm ride of the past, resulting in a pleasant underfoot sensation, as one reviewer would put it.

And it's felt on the run! In the words of one commenter: the ASICS EvoRide is "commendably light" with its 7.6-ounce weight. Meanwhile, the average speed trainer weighs 248 grams/8.7 ounces. 

The EvoRide 3's upper understood the assignment

The upper is (1) softer and (2) more form-fitting. According to one runner, the upper is so soft; "it feels pleasant the second you try it on." And when it comes to fit, another states this: "I had no slippage or ill-fit anywhere throughout the shoe."

Spoiler alert: The heel didn't

Despite the generous padding at the back, the heel still feels "floaty," explains one tester.

Why? Because "the width is snug to slightly narrow, particularly at the toebox," remarks one running shoe reviewer. Another ASICS fan adds that the toe box "took a few miles to learn [their] forefoot's shape."

Worth the price

At $120, the ASICS Scarpa da corsa 'Gel-Pulse 13' arancione blu notte nero is not only cheaper than most tempo shoes ($132 on average); it's also value-oriented. A runner who has wear-tested the shoe for over 40 miles cool that there's no significant wear on the outsole. Because of this, he confidently claims that he "will get some solid mileage out of this shoe."
