Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « The Dynablast 4 is a neutral road shoe offering from ASICS that sets a high standard for versatile daily trainers on a budget. The FF Blast midsole foam doesn't just feel comfy during our test runs but has a nice energetic pop that allows us to pick up the pace or gobble up miles at will. What's more, it's flexible and forgiving right out of the box, making for a pleasant ride that leaves us feeling fresh even after higher-intensity sessions. While we did find its breathability to be lacking in our smoke test, making it a little too toasty for summer runs, the shoe's performance in our freezer tests makes it a great option for cold-weather runners. »
  • Running Shoes Guru : 80.7 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the ASICS Dynablast 4 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its ASICS proprietary foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunMag : 79.5 / 100 — « In ASICS's daily trainer lineup, the Dynablast 4 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €130. »
