Has anyone tried out the Asics Gel-Speedstar 4's? Supposed to be lighter than the 3s with some good upgrades/adjustments. I'm trying them soon. Normally dont care about color but gotta say the 4s are a cooler red color than the bright canary yellow if I'm going to be running in them on daily easy runs.

Also had a sizing question with these Speedstar 4s.

Basically I fit into a 9.0 in the Brooks Defyance2s and the AsicsLandreth5. I wear a 9.5 in nike Zoom Marathoners, but I could probably also wear a 9 as it has some room.

HOWEVER, when I got the Asics DS-Trainer 13 a year ago I kinda had to go with a 9.5 (pretty tight fit).

So my question is -> are the Speedstars going to size similar to the Asics Landreth and others or more out of whack like the Asics DS-Trainer 13s?

Thanks in advance....Not a troll despite my creative LetsRun name...just having a little fun.

the DS-T 13 was a bit of an anomaly in it's sizing.

the prior speedstars have run true to the rest of the line..

but this new version also has the 'offset' lacing - don't know if that changes it at all

also looking forward to trying the 4, i've got some on order

loved the 1 & 2.. the 3 was OK

The 9 should fit in the Speedstar 4. I had to go up a half size as well in the the old DST and Marathoner.
