Title: Asics Gel ODI vs Puma EvoSpeed
Post by: No.4 on August 26, 2016, 04:57:00 PM: Is anyone able to tell me how these two shoes compare in terms of fit? I have seen and fancy some Asics gel odi's but didn't like the original price. I have since seen a pair potentially in my size and budget but want to check out the size compared to my pumas as it requires me ordering online.

Seconded. EvoSpeed's will get you 95% of the way to Asics for half the price. But only if you've got normal sized feet!

The asics soft resin rubber spikes (the ones you would put on the Gel Advance shoes) do NOT fit the odi. They may have changed this recently, but I had to send my odi back last year for this reason.

The Gel Advance is pretty amazing btw. And has the rubber stud option.
