I need new Shoes, I had Asics DS Trainers - I cant get them at my local store in my size?
They are trying to recommend other ones. What are similar? 2120, 2130?
I dont want Kyano as they are too heavy and bulky these shoes need to be light and good shoe for IM.

Try the Mizuno Wave Elixir 3.
Is very light, has support, and it very comfy!!
My last pair was also the DS and I changed over to this shoe, am very happy with it.

You should be able to find Asics DS Trainers online.

I loved the DS trainer until i got shin splints from them!! haha then i switched to the mizuno wave elixir as mentioned by pcolatri and they were very nice, looked flashy (which i love in races) but i couldn't use them because i over pronate too much and the heel on the shoe was too soft for me. anywho, if the DS worked fine for you then you should feel great in the wave elixir 3.

my shop is saying they cant get the 11.5 any more and that is the size i need.
the 2130 looks very similar.
