Reliable Cushioning and Comfort, Every Mile

If you're searching for a daily trainer that delivers on all fronts — comfort, support, durability, and value — the ASICS Gel Pulse 16 checks every box. Whether you're new to running or logging regular training sessions, this versatile shoe is built to offer a smooth, cushioned ride and dependable performance on every step of the journey.

Equipped with ASICS’ signature GEL™ cushioning in both the forefoot and heel, the Gel Pulse 16 absorbs shock and minimizes impact, making it especially forgiving during long runs and higher mileage efforts. The AMPLIFOAM™ midsole enhances flexibility and comfort, while the ORTHOLITE® insole adds breathable moisture-wicking comfort and support underfoot.

The upper is built with a soft, structured jacquard mesh, designed to conform to the shape of your foot while maintaining excellent airflow to keep your feet cool and dry. At the core of the shoe’s midfoot, the Trusstic System™ adds lightweight torsional stability, helping to guide your foot and reduce fatigue on longer runs.

Finished with a durable rubber outsole for multi-surface grip and subtle rocker geometry for smoother transitions, the Gel Pulse 16 is a well-rounded, go-to training shoe for everyday miles, recovery runs, and even the occasional race.

Best For

• New and experienced runners seeking a cushioned, stable daily trainer

• Road runners looking for a reliable, all-around shoe for short to mid-distance training
