ASICS GEL-Fit Sana Review

I was super excited to review the all new ASICS GEL-Fit Sana training shoes. I have shoes that I run specific in but have been looking for a great training shoe for those days in the gym and for workouts at home when I cant make it to the gym. Enter the ASICS GEL-Fit Sana...

These shoes are so pretty. I had a hard time deciding what color to order.
check them out...

I chose the pink mainly because I dont have pink shoes and thought Valentines Day was coming up and why not, right? After all...

So yes its a gorgeous shoe, but thats not all. What I was mainly concerned about was the fit. I have had lots of "trainers" that just never felt like they fit right. And I am a little OCD about shoe fit. I have to have my socks fit perfect and my shoes fit and tied perfect otherwise it aggravates me. I was excited to see that the shoe fit basically like a glove.

The tongue of the shoe is actually part of the elastic inner lining, which I love and made them fit so perfectly. You could also wear them without socks if you wanted to. and they slip on so easily with the tab on the heel.

And I love the message I get every time I put them on...

That's right, they remind me that I am in training. Any little thing helps keep me motivated for the goal ahead. Another thing I noticed is how amazingly light and minimal these shoes felt on my feet, but still maintained a good support cushion on the bottom...

I decided to test them out for a couple days doing different things.
I used them during my cardio workout at home...

Yeah I let my girl Cathe kick my butt every once in a while.What was great was that during the workout they never felt like they were slipping or moving around at all. Also they are super flexible so my feet almost felt barefoot and free to move without that slipping feeling.

Since we have been on Christmas break, I have been hanging out at home with kiddos, so no gym for me till this coming up week when heavy triathlon training starts. (I will def update you as to how they are with actual heavy lifting in the gym.)

I also have used them for my nightly walks with my family. We try to take a walk a couple times a week after dinner. They are so comfy and I will have to admit I have been living in these shoes on a daily basis.

My overall opinion is that EVERYONE should buy them a pair of ASICS GEL-Fit Sanas, and at $80 how could you not? If you are a hardcore gym addict, a newbie about to start working out, or even a professional shopper and need a good pair of shoes for all those many shopping trips, you need a pair of these shoes.
