If you're an overpronator seeking a lightweight a cushioned sneaker that looks just as good on the track as it does in the streets with jeans, check out the Asics Gel-Lyte33. The Sneaker Report team gave it a test back in July, and found the model to be surprisingly versatile. It was able to get the job done in the gym just as well as it did during lengthy runs. The Solyte midsole is not only lightweight, but provides cushioning and durability. The Asics Gel-Lyte33's Guidance Line platform features a specialized design which allows for gait efficiency. Its upper is a seamless, breathable construction which results in an incredibly light sneaker. Meanwhile, Asics High Abrasion Rubber is used on the outsole in the areas of highest wear, so durability isn't an issue with the lightweight Asics Gel-Lyte33.
