Asics Patriot 13 running shoes tested

We test the Asics Patriot 13 running shoes, part of Asics Performance collection

It is not very often that we test clothes or shoes but from time to time we like to show off with favorite products.

Today we are taking a closer look at the Asics Patriot 13 running shoes which were used for almost a month now so it is time for our consumer feedback.

Comfort

The Asics Patriot 13 is a comfortable running shoe but it is a bit heavier than some other competitors in the segment. These running shoes rely more on stability and durability rather than lightweight comfort.

Also, in the summer season it felt a bit too warm and not very well ventilated. After a long hot day with these shoes my socks always smelled like...

Compared to the NIKE Downshifter which I had for couple of years, the Asics Patriot 13 feels more durable and solid but not as comfortable and easy to wear for longer periods of time.

Asics Jolt 4 running shoes tested

There are many similar models from Asics' model line up, with different colors and materials and also quite good for running. So, I would basically recommend you to pick your color and style and then if possible just test them at the shoe store.

You can also check a pair of shoes that I returned after wearing just one day - Nike Air Zoom Resistance Clay.
