Camiseta ASICS Kasane Masculina Vermelha | Who should NOT buy
The ASICS Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale is a solid trail shoe, though we think it could use more cushioning in the forefoot and a springier foam. If you're hunting for a shoe with a better midsole and less heel-to-toe drop, the Hoka Speedgoat 5 ASICS Gel-Pulse 11 1012B138-100.
Also, if you've got wide feet, this might not be your best pick. In that case, check the Mantenha-se confortável com esta camisola de ASICS.
Cushioning
Heel stack
Being really affordable, this shoe primarily targets beginners or entry-level runners, especially in the trail running category. Recognising this, ASICS placed significant emphasis on the heel, boasting a remarkable 34.2 mm stack height in that area.

Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale | 34.2 mm |
Average | 32.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot boasts a mere 21.0 mm thickness. So, for you forefoot strikers out there, once you deduct the outsole and insole, it's a pretty underwhelming amount of foam...

Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale | 21.0 mm |
Average | 24.5 mm |
Drop
This gives us a 13.2-mm heel-to-toe drop, making the shoe perfect for heel and midfoot strikers. However, it's less ideal for forefoot strikers.
So, Asics Gel-Lyte V really matters here.

Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale | 13.2 mm |

Midsole softness
Switching our attention to the midsole, ASICS opted for EVA foam that feels comfortable. We measured its softness to be 23.1 HA.
Don't look for a lot of bounce or springiness here, this is a £70 shoe. If you need that, check the PEBAX-based Endorphin Edge instead.

After a 20-minute chill session in our freezer, we took another look at the softness to see how cold temps shake things up. Turns out, it does get a bit firmer—landing at 30.0 HA.
Surprisingly, there's only a modest 29.8% increase, a performance you'd typically see in pricier trail shoes. For a budget-friendly shoe like this, that's a great result.

Insole thickness
We found the insole to be 4.1-mm thick. It's a standard thickness that should work for most of us—nothing too special or out of the ordinary here.

Stability
Lateral stability test
Stability in the Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale doesn't have any big concerns. It's even suitable for those dealing with moderate pronation issues.
Torsional rigidity
A big reason it feels so stable is its moderate rigidity. When we gave it a twist, we settled on a 3/5 rating—a smart move for a trail running shoe.

The 3/5 rating also goes for the heel counter's stiffness. ASICS really aimed for that sweet spot between stability and comfort.
Since this shoe is designed for heel strikers, it's obvious that a super-flexible heel counter just wouldn't cut it.

Midsole width - forefoot
Aiming to maintain a lightweight design, the Japanese designers kept the forefoot width in check. We measured it at 111.6 mm, which aligns with the average shoe.

While ASICS focused on heel strikers with such a significant heel-to-toe drop in this shoe, we believe they should offer a wider landing platform for better stability. Unfortunately, they missed the mark here as we measured only 87.3 mm, which is below what we expected.

One of the standout features of this ASICS is its versatility—it easily transitions to a comfortable hiking shoe. Why is this so? Its impressive flexibility puts it in the top 5% of shoes, registering at only 14.9N in our 90-degree bend test.

After giving the shoe a 20-minute stint in the freezer, we tested it again. Impressively, it remains quite flexible, clocking in at 20.5N.
With only a 37.2% increase in stiffness, we find this shoe's performance really interesting. This is especially true considering it's made from EVA foam—a material known to become considerably stiffer in cold temperatures.

Weight
A common drawback of budget-friendly shoes is their weight—often because brands might not invest in lighter but more expensive materials. Surprisingly, the Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale weighs in at 10.4 oz or 295g. This is an impressive result!

Breathability
If you're searching for a breathable trail running shoe for summer mountain runs, you're in the right place.
In our lab, when we tested the ASICS Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale with our smoke-pumping machine in the lab, we couldn't believe our eyes. Most affordable trail shoes typically score average on this test. However, the Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale earned a flawless 5/5!
What's even more impressive is that in this test, the shoe doesn't let light pass through. This trait is uncommon, though it does occasionally appear in trail shoes due to the internal protective layers of the upper.
Under the microscope, we discovered that ASICS employs an engineered mesh. It doesn't have the typical breathability holes, yet it's thin enough to allow air circulation and heat dissipation.
In short, it's among the best uppers we've come across in terms of breathability. All this is available at a MSRP of £70, which is incredible.
Moreover, it ranks as one of the most cushioned uppers we've ever analysed, ensuring comfort on long runs.

After seeing its outstanding performance in the breathability test, we expected the Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale might not fare as well in the durability department. It's uncommon for shoes to excel in both areas.
The Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale managed a score of 2/5 in the durability test—not the best, but certainly not the worst. Its engineered mesh doesn't hold up as well against abrasion. However, on a brighter note, the shoe boasts a substantial protective layer around the toe box.

When we tested the heel with the Dremel, we noted the same 2-out-of-5 score. This makes it a well-suited shoe for the vast majority of runners.
However, for those who often experience wear-and-tear in this area, it's something to keep in mind.

The Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale doesn't have any reflective parts. We wish it did, especially for those of us who run trails at night.

Tongue padding
We've mentioned the exceptional comfort of the Sneakers and shoes Asics Gel Lyte III on sale, and here's another reason why.
With a tongue measuring 8.8 mm thick, there's no chance of lace bite or discomfort on the instep.

Tongue: gusset type
As a value-oriented shoe, we expected it to have a non-gusseted tongue. While this is a drawback in trail shoes—where maximum protection from debris and small rocks is desired—for £70, we're fine with it.
