Expert opinion:

A few days ago I received these shoes at the office, the first sensation was "shocking", a very careful design and finishes and totally thought for the triathlete.

When opening the box in addition to finding  Asics Gel-Noosa Tri 7 I could see some elastic laces that, as we all know, come from luxury to save time in the transition, and that if ... perfectly "matching" with the color of the shoes.

When you take the shoes in your hand, in addition to its lightness, I could see on the inside a soft material with a non-slip coating clearly designed for when you compete without socks to save time in the transition, avoiding with this finish chafing during the race .

Among other details and reviewing the shoe detail, I could also find fluorescent spots that shine in the dark helping to have greater visibility at night.

After all this, the next thing was to go for a run so we can really test the response of this model.

I always run with socks, and contrary to what I thought, maybe the shoes did not have the same response when wearing this lining to compete without socks, my feelings were very good.

Normally I run on roads, this time touched asphalt. Perhaps this would be the only downside, but clearly it is good to have at least one shoe model for each type of floor on which you train.

My feelings, the first thing I noticed was the excellent cushioning in the front and back of the shoe without hardly impact and that provided good momentum in the stride, in addition to the feeling of good stability probably due to the design of the sole and the finishes from the outside to avoid twisting the ankle.

After 90 min of running, clearly Asics Gel-Noosa Tri7 is an excellent choice if you are one of those who do long runs on asphalt and compete in medium / long distance in Triathlon.
