Our verdict

The ASICS tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco is a versatile trail runner and hiker that offered us impressive comfort and jaw-dropping breathability during our testing at a pocket-friendly price. While we didn't find it to be the most durable, it's tough to find a better trail shoe at just £80. Treating our feet with nice cushioning, we believe that it excels in delivering an enjoyable experience on the trail.

Who should buy

We believe this ASICS Asics Gel Cumulus 21 Knit:

  • ASICS Run 2F Gel-KENUN Knit
  • A shoe with a classic design that doesn't draw undue attention.

chemist creations asics gel kayano 5 og release date price 9 Who Should Buy

Who should NOT buy

If you're in the market searching for a bouncy ride with a higher-end feel or waterproof features, steer clear of these ASICS. Instead, we suggest taking a look at the Nike React Pegasus Trail 4 (or its GTX edition).

If you're looking for a durable shoe that offers great value for your money, we still recommend going with an ASICS option, specifically the atmos x asics gel lyte iii midnight tokyo, based on our lab tests.

Asics Gelnoosa Tri 11 | Cushioning

Heel stack

We were taken aback when we used our calliper to measure the stack height in the heel. It's not everyday that we stumble upon high-stack shoes boasting an impressive 33.3 mm of foam in the rearfoot!

Forefoot stack

On the flip side, we were equally taken aback by how thin the forefoot was. With a stack height of 22.9 mm—below the average trail shoe—that includes both the outsole, the insole and the lugs, there's not a lot of cushioning in that area. It's clear to us, this is a shoe built with heel strikers in mind!

Asics Gelnoosa Tri 11 | Drop

The significant 10.4-mm heel-to-toe drop simply reaffirms our earlier observations. Such a high drop caters well to those who hit the trails heel-first. And that's exactly what this shoe delivers.

It's worth noting that budget-friendly trail shoes, often targeted towards beginners or slower-paced runners, tend to boast a quite-steep drop.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

At 24.6 HA, this isn't your run-of-the-mill midsole softness that was the norm on trail shoes! Amplifoam delivers a soft and gentle touch—but don't expect an over-the-top bounce from the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco, especially considering it's an £80 trail shoe.

If you're on the hunt for a springy trainers asics japan s 1201a173 white oyster grey, consider checking out the Nike Terra Kiger 8, it has a bouncier foam named React.

Midsole softness in cold (%)

While the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco may not be the ideal pick for winter trail running due to its outstanding ventilation, it becomes a great choice under cold temperatures when paired with thick socks.

After we checked the midsole softness in cold temperatures, we noticed that the foam might firm up slightly more than we prefer (up to 34.4 HA), but it still maintains a below-average firmness—a remarkable achievement for such a budget-friendly shoe.

While it doesn't turn stone-hard, you'll surely feel the shift as it becomes 39.7% firmer under cold conditions. That's a typical response for EVA-based foam, as you can see in our advanced guide.

Toebox width - widest part

The toe box doesn't offer much wiggle room at 97 mm of width, but it's sufficient for most foot types. We firmly advise that this shoe is suitable for narrow, medium, and somewhat wide feet.

At 72.3 mm, the shoe narrows by 34.2% from the widest point to the area of the big toe, being 30% the average.

Based on our tests, we find that it's a better match for those who have a significant size difference between their big toe and the rest—think Greek or Egyptian foot shapes. In contrast, those with Celtic, German, and Roman feet should definitely avoid the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco and, again, try something from Altra like the Lone Peak 7.

The midfoot area feels absolutely normal. Our tests suggest that even those among us with flat feet should find it comfortable.

Heel feel

Then, there's the heel—it pleasantly surprised us with its slightly-wider-than-average dimension while retaining a fair bit of rigidity. This strikes a fine balance between comfort and stability.

Stability

Lateral stability test

With a stack that's above average and a cushy foam, one wouldn't typically anticipate excellent stability. Yet, these ASICS shoes left us with a great impression. Their Amplifoam midsole was stable in our runs and comfy during long hikes.

Torsional rigidity

The solid stability in the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco largely comes from its 3/5 torsional rigidity. Like nearly all other trainers asics japan s 1201a173 white oyster greys, it's not super flexible. That rigidity, however, works in our favour, helping us remain stable on any terrain.

This complements its non-rockered shape, which works well for a shoe of this type.

Midsole width - forefoot

The landing platform doesn't hold any surprises. Using our calliper for precise measurements, we found that the midsole width is about average in the forefoot (109.5 mm), just 2 mm less than most trail shoes.

Using our force gauge tool, it took us only 20.1N to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is 58% less than the average force, making this shoe one of the most flexible trail shoes we've ever put to the test in our lab.

Stiffness in cold (%)

Thanks to its low-end longitudinal flexibility, it doesn't stiffen excessively in cold temperatures. In fact, after a 20-minute exposure to freezing conditions, it only required 32N to bend it to 90 degrees—nearly the same force needed to flex the average shoe at room temperature.

That said, the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco does display a notable 59.3% increase in stiffness from its normal state at room temperature. We find this significant as it results in a firmer feel compared to other shoes, largely due to this substantial change.

Breathability

Breathability is a major concern for many trail runners, since it's difficult to come across trail shoes with a well-ventilated upper. We performed our jaw-dropping smoke test, and we were astounded by how fantastic this shoe performs in this aspect.

ASICS x Affix Gel Kinsei Gore-Tex!

It performs admirably due to its mesh upper. The mesh is sufficiently dense to prevent light from passing through—as seen in the video below—yet it's thin enough to allow for proper airflow. It's a winning combination.

However, how can we determine why it breathes so well? We conducted a examination of the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco under our microscope.

It is the aforementioned thin mesh that takes credit for the impressive 4/5 in the breathability test.

Durability

Toebox durability

The tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco took a serious hit in our lab tests, scoring an unfortunate 1 out of 5, the lowest score possible. We had braced ourselves for a low score, anticipating it even before the Dremel test, due to the shoe's thin mesh. However, the result still left us truly disappointed.

Sometimes, a shoe surprises us with stellar scores in the toebox area, only to underperform in the heel. Or the other way around. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter such luck this time.

Outsole hardness

As a budget-friendly trail shoe, we anticipated an average score when we used our durometer to test the softness of the outsole. That's exactly what we got: 84.5 HC.

This outsole should easily extend beyond 700 miles, provided that you don't subject it to too many road runs, of course.

Misc

Lug depth

We enjoyed the versatility of the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco during both runs and hikes. This is partly due to its below-average-sized lugs—measuring just 3 mm.

These lugs are perfect for quick hikes and a wide range of running speeds. However, we noticed the performance getting worse on more challenging terrain. It's clear that no shoe can excel in every scenario!

Comfort

The tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco offers suitable padding, particularly in the heel area, providing substantial comfort. The only drawback we've noticed in our examination—which is common in trail shoes—is that the mesh can feel a bit rough.

Tongue padding

Recently, we've noticed a trend of super-thick tongues on trainers asics japan s 1201a173 white oyster greys, like in the Salomon Ultra Glide 2. In most cases, this trend proves more of a downside, leading to uncomfortably snug fits and added weight. However, the Japan-based brand has navigated this issue, featuring a comfortable yet light 5-mm tongue. Kudos, ASICS!

A common shortfall of budget trail shoes is their lack of a gusseted tongue. Could ASICS have added one? Definitely, but no chance they do that. They need to distinguish budget shoes from high-end ones, and leaving out this feature is a really easy way to do it. 

So, predictably, there's no gusset in the tenis asics geldedicate 6 feminino branco, opening the door for debris, dust, and small rocks to easily get inside the shoe.
