Noticed last month the DS Trainer 8 shoe was being closed out....figured the 9 was coming and
yup....showed up over at Telerunner. IMO the DS Trainer 8 seemed to get a lot of "mixed" reviews
from DS trainer runners fond of the 6's and 7's. In speaking to DS Trainer wearers....the 8's were a
slightly disappointing and did not feel like a natural progression coming from the 6 & 7 legacy.
Never wore 8's myself...could not say. Perhaps you can? I thought the 6 was very good, and the 7
terrific. Wonder how the 9's are going to play
w/the DS Trainer crowd...if any eager beavers bite and grab some 9's, do tell. The nimbus 5 is out
too.....I've been daily training in 4's and have found them to be one of the more durable shoes
for those hard shoes.

up in the 300s on my Nimbus 4s, and I think I'm going to get 600+ miles out of them.Cheers,

striking) runner?BTW perhaps an odd preference over the 2080/90 for someone who wants stability on those long
runs, isn´t it?Quoted message said:

The Nimbus is *never* cheap here: the latest model is invariably priced €20-30 above the (already
high-priced) GS Trainer, and past season´s models are still sold at list prices when 30% is slashed
off on other Asics shoes - and I have *not once* seen a single pair of the Nimbus in those piles of
shoes sold at Asics-sponsored races!Quoted message said:

will send you my hardly-worn pair for the cost of shipping. It took 12 miles for me to figure out
that these shoes weren't right for this non-heavy, mid-to-forefoot-striking runner.Karen
