Asics Turbo Jump

[Cooleo111]

Has anyone used these? I'm thinking of getting a pair but I'd like to hear if anyone else has tried them (I think they are pretty new) and what they think of Asics shoes in general.

I like 'em.....but thats just me!!!!!!

Have you actually used these though? According to Dickpond they came out in November of this year so I'm guessing not many people have tried them.

As far as training flats all I use are Asics, I love them. Since I love their trainers I bought the new Turbo jumps. I have used these and I am currently using them. They are solid vault spikes, fairly light weight with a decent half spike plate. I would say they fall somewhere between a LJ and TJ shoe, they have a little more heel padding than a true LJ shoe, but are not quite as bulky as a true TJ shoe. Compared the Nike LJ which I have used the past 2 years I prefer the Asics. The extra heel protection is nice for vaulting. I think the Nike LJ's are lighter and allow for more runway speed with their longer spike plate, but the heel is so slim I would often get a bruised heel and plantar problems over time and many jumps during a season, not a good thing.... Which I why I decided to try these. For the price they are a decent shoe. I would like a little longer spike plate, but they provide good support and have a good soft feel. I couldn't say if I would buy them again or not yet until I see how they last for an entire season, and whether or not I get any foot problems from them.

Awesome! I've bruised my own heel a few times so I like what I'm hearing haha.

I haven't actually used these yet (recovering from broken foot) but I did buy a pair yesterday. They are quite possibly the most comfortable spikes I've ever worn. There's tons of heel padding too, more than Im used to anyway. They look and feel like they'll hold up to a good beating pretty well also.

$75 isn't too bad a price for premium spikes either....**thinks about paying 115$ for PV Lites that wear out in 2 months**

i bought a pair back in november and i really like them

I have tried them out, but I like the past models the "CYBER JUMPS" those feel like a thicker heel and more stable spike....

Does anyone know if these shoes are true to their size, or should I order higher or lower. None of my local shop have a pair, so I need to get them online.

Thnaks in advance,

They were about half a size too big, maybe a full size, so I would order a bit smaller, i.e. buy an 11 or 11.5 if you are a 12.
