The Pulse is the brand's mid-budget road trainer, and the thirteenth version is the sort of shoe that gets bought on comfort and kept for years. It runs an AmpliFoam midsole with GEL in the heel (the same recipe ASICS uses across its affordable models), and reviewers describe it as plush, dependable and best suited to moderate distances at an easy effort. There is no pronation control and no attempt at speed. What it does offer is a comfortable ride well below the price of the FlyteFoam models, and the jacquard upper here is a step above the plain mesh this tier usually gets. White with blazing coral is a bright, summer-weighted pairing rather than the black the category defaults to, and it suits a shoe more likely to be worn on a morning loop and then to the shops than on a race start line.
