I've worn the Boston's for years and really enjoy them.
However, I now have a contact who can get me any pair of asics for a very discounted rate--if I can find a pair of asics that I like, I'm going to make the switch (Bostons seem to break down too fast anyway).
What Asics models are similar in form to the Adidas Bostons?
The Asics DS Trainer is a very similar weight with slightly more support than the boston due to it's stability post
Try looking at the Landreth.
Any more suggestions?
I have a pair of the asics banditos
great light shoes for tempo, workouts, longer races ect.
Kind of similar to the ds trainers but the ds trainers don't fit my foot
I assume you are refering to the Boston Classic and not the Adizero Boston (two different models in Addias' line). The Bandito is nothing like it, your comparing a neutral trainer to a light-stability flat. The Cumulus is close and even though I haven't seen the latest version of the Landreth, it should be more similar to the Boston Classic than the Cumulus.
If you're looking towards the lightweight route, Asics just came out with the Pulse. Sounds similar to the Boston and isn't that pricey. The Speedstar is another option, but I think of it more as a flat, even though it's more like the ds-trainer ( minus the arch support)

I like the Boston Classics and the Asics Gel Cumulous.
Status kick butt.
