Jeri from Houston
I am currently wear testing the DST 14 and find it to be like most DST's. It is an excellent trainer that weighs 10.5 oz in a Men's size 9. I have been told by a Store Owner that it fits like the DST 7. For me it isn't much different from the DST 11,12 or 13 so I would suggest you try it on. It has an outsole similar to the DST 7 but; is slightly heavier. I wear it and other DST's as a Daily shoe that is used on Concrete and Asphalt surfaces. Like the DST 13 is has asymmetrical lacing but; isn't a big factor. I have 85 miles on them at this time with only training not racing in my utilization

10.5 oz in a size 9 is kinda heavy for the DST's (at least what they've claimed in the past). I train exclusively in DST's but I use whichever model I can find cheapest. Currently, I'm running in a pair of DST12's but I've had two pairs of 13's - can't tell the difference in them as they all feel the same - GREAT. For grins I just went out in the garage and weighed the right shoe of a pair of DS12's and DS13's, both size 9 1/2. Turns out the 12's weigh 10.3oz and the 13's weigh 10.5oz. I always thought these shoes were in the 9.5 oz range.
