Nice shoe but not for me

Pros: Lightweight, good grip

Cons: Toe box too big, midsole breaks down quickly, poor lacing system
cymsteve's Full Review: Asics Gel Lyte
I have been running in Asics shoes for 7 years - these are my least favorite I'm afraid. My first impression was a light, well cushioned and flexible shoe, however the midsole soon wore out, the shoe felt flat and I have had more blisters than in any other shoe I've owned. I think the toe box is a lot bigger than in other Asics shoes, which causes more movement up front.....hence the blisters. The lacing system could also be improved to give a snugger fit.
I normally get at least 300 miles out of a pair of shoes, but these wore down after only 150 miles. Grip in wet conditions was a plus though...
