Asics Noosa Tri 16

Asics Noosa Tri 16 review: what runners say

Fit

Runs narrow and about a half size short. The toebox is surprisingly roomy for the shoe's profile; runners with a wide forefoot shouldn't have issues.

Feel

Direct, smooth ride thanks to the late-stage Guidesole rocker. FF Blast+ balances softness and responsiveness without feeling mushy; not bouncy, but fluid and agile.

Durability

400+ km reported with the outsole still intact. AsicsGrip is considered among the most durable in its category; wear concentrated at the lateral heel.

Best for

Tempo, interval, and short-race shoe (5K–10K). Workable up to around 13 km; not recommended for long runs over 75 minutes or for runners seeking rearfoot stability.

Weak points

Limited energy return compared to shoes with more reactive foams. Upper longevity is flagged as a weak point; tongue padding is minimal.
