ASICS Men's NOOSA TRI 16 Running Shoes

I love these shoes. Great shoe for price. Look pretty flashy and cool

The shoes came to the wrong address, and that little tab at the back for pulling his shoe on broke the first time I put them on the materials really poor. I am a big fan of this brand. The first time this has ever happened. Probably will still buy the brand, but I’ll be more careful with what shoe I buy.

I’ve owned several pairs of NOOSA Tri and have always been impressed — until now. My NOOSA Tri 15s (purchased July 29, 2024) and even my older NOOSA Tri 14s (August 2023) held up well, with all pull tabs still intact after heavy use. I also own multiple pairs of Gel-Kayano and Gel-Nimbus, and their heel tabs are still strong. Unfortunately, the NOOSA Tri 16 has been a huge letdown. On the very first use, the pull straps tore apart (photos attached). This is unacceptable, especially for a shoe at this price point and from a brand I’ve trusted for years. Another noticeable downgrade: the soles have changed. The NOOSA Tri 14 and 15 were 100% quiet on gym floors, but the NOOSA Tri 16 squeak loudly on vinyl — these are the squeakiest shoes I’ve ever worn indoors. Comfort and fit are fine, but the build quality and material choices have clearly gone down. I hope ASICS takes this seriously and resolves both the pull tab durability and sole material issues before releasing the NOOSA Tri 17. As a loyal ASICS customer, this was extremely disappointing and makes me hesitant about future purchases.

Very Poor Quality Shoes. On The First Time They Were Put On The Pull Loop Broke Off. Dealing with Asics For The Warranty Claim Has Been Hand Full. It Has Been 3 Weeks From The Start Of The Warranty Claim Without A Decisions Or Reply To Know If The Shoes Will Be Repaired/ Replaced. For A Shoe Designed To Be Used As A Triathlon Shoe I/E Be Able To Pull On Quickly, Break The First Time Is Unacceptable. The Shoes Dont Have Much Use Now.
