Amazon.com Product Description
The GEL-Pulse, a new addition to the ASICS Cushioning Category, delivers superior platform cushioning for a range of gaits from neutral to mild over pronator. The relatively low-profile tooling and open mesh upper keep weight low and comfort at a premium.
From the Manufacturer
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Customer Reviews
Great for longer distance, cushy, but less responsive.
I bought this shoe for longer distances. It does provide plenty of cushion in the heel (and the midsole and toe when you start to get tired and lose running form). This shoe is not ideal for sprinting a 5K, but worked good for my 40 mile ultramarathon 3 days ago. Also, the arch support could be a little more. This is great for a neutral, but if you have a higher arch, the support will only be adequate. I would have preferred more arch support (higher in sole) during my last run.
I recommend combining this shoe with the sof-sole that fits you best.
Keeps me daydreaming while they are dry
I am a fifty year old average built male and have been running since my teens, minus a year or two. I run two hours daily (daily), which turns out to be about twelve miles per run. I have a tendency to daydream while I run and if the shoe does not feel or fit right, fantasy land does not exist. I have run in about every shoe made and did not get particular until a few years ago. I now only buy Asics, but sometimes stray to another brand just for a bit of adventure. I tried the Asics Men's Gel-Pluse Running Shoe from the 1st of September until now the end of October 2009. I have a few months to go before I change them, since I wear them completely out about every four months (devastate them at six months, which I do not recommend). I am fairly impressed with the land and the wear on the sole. I have used this shoe during the summer/fall time so I cannot say how it does in the winter months in the Tacoma/Seattle area. The landing is particularly soft and of course there are no blisters (ever) or break-in time for this brand. You put them on and they are ready to run. The color selection was a little drab, but if they offered it in neon pink I have to wonder if I would purchase it. This shoe, like many others, has a problem when it gets wet. The laces will not stay tied, so double knot them when it is raining. When the shoe gets wet it will throw back any needles, dirt or gravel into the vamp, wedging themselves between the sock and medial. Eventually it works it's way into the shoe, forcing one to stop to remove it. This is because the tread of the shoe has so many gaps, which trap particles. I have found this problem to be systemic with all running shoes though. The shoe does dry quickly without loss of structural integrity. I give this shoe a five star rating because of the comfort, which exceeds the cost.
just as ordered
just as I saw it in the retail store, the item was identical and shipped in a timely fashion. Extremely satisfied, have used the service in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
