Asics Gel Pulse 17 Tr

Asics Gel Pulse 17 Tr review: what runners say

Fit

True to size for most feet; midfoot is contained but the toe box is narrow: runners with wide feet should consider going up half a size.

Feel

Cushioning is present and protective thanks to the heel GEL, but the response stays flat: no perceptible energy return. Ride is heavy and lacks flexibility.

Durability

AHAR+ rubber outsole with solid abrasion resistance on mixed trail and asphalt. No precise mileage data from sources, but the material ranks among the longest-lasting in the Asics lineup.

Best for

Easy daily training on mixed trail and dirt. Suited for neutral runners, average weight, paces beyond 5:30 min/km. Not appropriate for speed sessions or racing.

Weak points

Narrow toe box flagged as a structural limitation. Weight increased versus previous versions and poor outsole flexibility.
