Our verdict
ASICS Dynablast may not be the most exciting daily trainer, but it is still seen as a comfortable and durable running shoe for medium distances and more relaxed paces.

The shoe delivers a secure “Asics clutch.” Its thick and plush collar locks down the heel without chafing the Achilles.
The ASICS Dynablast has major style
Quite a few people take note of the style and color selection, calling it “sleek,” “sharp-looking,” “clean,” and “elegant.”
You won't be bouncing to your next step
All runners warn that the Dynablast is not your “fun,” "springy" running shoe for speed sessions and tempo runs. Some describe its ride as sloppy.
The drop can be too much
Many expert reviewers criticized the 12-mm offset for being too evident. The heel cushion is too generous, while the forefoot is too thin.
Tone it down a bit on the toe room
The forefoot feels too voluminous for a medium-sized foot. Some note that it lacks support and tends to scrunch up.
