Asics Gel-Pulse 17

Asics Gel-Pulse 17 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, with good volume in the toe box and solid lockdown at the midfoot and heel with no slippage.

Feel

Soft, comfortable cushioning from the FF Blast foam and heel gel, with smooth transitions; moderate responsiveness, not comparable to the livelier feel of previous versions.

Durability

FF Blast foam rated as durable across sources; AHAR Plus rubber coverage on the heel. Expected mileage not explicitly stated, but the materials are described as long-lasting.

Best for

Comfort-oriented runners at easy to moderate paces, gym use, and extended walking. Not recommended for those seeking responsiveness or looking to pick up the pace.

Weak points

Weight has climbed to approximately 300 g versus 262–270 g in previous versions, undermining the agile feel. Responsiveness shows no improvement over the v16, making the shoe less versatile at sustained paces.
