I ordered these in the barely rose/rose quartz, they arrived and are very light pastel colors, not at all close to the image on the website. Unfortunately my boyfriend took the recycling out and with it the packaging for these, I have not worn them, I won't wear them as I'm not into light pastel lavender, and they will not process a return because of the packaging. BEWARE this color is NOT AS PICTURED.

Really love the styling and received lots of compliments. The proportions are just right and the materials are high quality. The materials are interesting too - the grey mesh looks better in real life, it has an almost wool-like quality. I bought this before a city break and they were very comfortable. One of the best casual trainers Iāve bought for a long time. I run in asics and now I will walk in them too!

This is my first pair of Gel Lyte III and I am hooked. I want to fill my entire closet with these shoes. I was a bit apprehensive on liking the side profile of this shoe since I am not a fan of chunky sneakers. This shoe looks so good at every angle, my favorite being an upfront angle. On top of being gorgeous, these shoes are extremely comfortable which I did not expect.Next on my list is the Pleasures Gel Lyte III!

Great shoes, high quality materials and very comfortable. The tongue is called a split tongue, a small detail if you have a wide foot albeit the shoe will stretch over time, until then I have a few millimetres of sock showing. This will go when the shoe is older. I bought an 8.5 as I am an 8 size, if fits well but suggest going up one size if I bought again. Lovely shoe and am happy.
Shoes were just delivered, so I can't speak for durability etc. But I have to say these are pretty comfortable! I did order a half size larger, which I never do, from 9 to 9.5, based on the reviews, and I think I made a good choice. The split tongue is different, but doesn't change how the shoe feels at all. Looks really good, and should look good in a pair of jeans. I think I can dress these up or down with ease. Taking a trip to Hong Kong next month and only taking one pair of shoes, so I have a month to walk around in these an hopefully these make the cut! So far, very satisfied.
GL3's are the most comfy shoes for daily wear. I'm partially flat footed and they have just the right amount of arch support so as to not be painful if I wear them all day.Style wise - this pair is beautiful. The materials are great and the color pallete is one of my favorites from Asics. The Orange-Pink color really pops in person.
I purchased grey colored GEL-LYTE IIIs in February/March 2022. I bought them for breakdancing. Likes include the lightweight, comfy and stylish design. The sole and outsole construction works really well for breaking as they have a good deal of cushioning in the right spots. The lacing system works well too. No dislikes to speak of - I was worried at first that the split tongue might be uncomfortable, but to my surprise they have remained comfortable after many practice sessions. A minor inconvenience might be that is is hard to keep the grey āsuede likeā leather looking clean and fresh. Overall, I am very happy.
Very comfy and my normal size fits well they are unisex so may be a little wider than womenās but I find that is fine for me. Nice style and lovely colour. But there is no internal ātongueā behind the laces so if it was wet your foot and socks would also get wet. I couldnāt understand the reason for no tongue. I had to return them
I've worn this show every day for about 2 weeks. Love the shoe. It has a split tongue which takes a moment to get used too. I'm deducting one star as my shoes were laced up goofy and my left shoe would not tighten due to the laces being over instead of under on the first loop. Overall I like the shoe. TTS and a classic look. The cloth on the outside of the shoe attracts fuzz. It's not a deal breaker, but just a little odd.
So I just purchased the Smoke Grey/Red Alert color of the GL III, and promptly returned them. I received them and the sole is brown. I couldn't tell this from the photos when I checked on my phone or on my laptop. Black sole would have looked great, brown sole clashes. Gel-lyte III is one of my favorite shoes so I'll probably grab another pair eventually, just not this particular color.
