Men's ASICS GEL-Evolution 4

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

I began running again after a meniscus tear recently, and the Evolution has helped me get back in the groove. It provides a smooth ride with enough support for my 210lbs. I am an over pronator and the shoe helps control that motion admirably. It also provides creat cushioning, keeping my feet comfy.

My only criticism is that the 4E width feels too narrow, and not like a true 4E. I have very wide feet and have had a better fit with other shoes. That said, it is not too narrow for me if I wear thinner socks, which is what I have been doing.

All in all, the Evolution is a great shoe that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a highly cushioned, very stable ride!

I weight more than 220 pounds and I am overpronator. Last November, I ran with these shoes the New York Marathon in 4 hours 19 minutes, they are the best.

This shoes was PERFECT for my flat feet and gave me great over pronation control not to mention cushioning

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

If the heel wasn't so narrow, it'd be a really great shoe. It's stiff in the right spots and soft in the right spots. It's a very light shoe and still cushiony and supportive.

Like all Asics Control shoes these fit my feet well, have great cushion and have nice flexibility.

Have run in evolution for 3 years and loved them this version should not be a motion cantrol shoe, to narrow from toe to heel and very stiff. Please make evelution 5 like the previous 3.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

Should have paid more heed to the other reviewers. Too narrow and misshapen in the arch, fits unlike any asics shoe I've owned. ,50 miles on it and I'm retiring it.

I've run a marathon in the GE-2's without probles so I decided to try the newer version. My initial impression wasn't good as they tend to run narrower than the previous version. I brought them back to RRS (gotta love their return policy!) and went to the wider size and they've worked out perfect. Bought 3 pairs and even ran a marathon in them with no problems. I've had trouble finding shoes that fit my wide, low arched feet (I wear orthotics too) so I'm stocking up with several more pairs while they're available.

5"9" 180 lbs. heel striker, 25 miles/wk. worse ASICS i've owned. no cushion, flat feeling. feels like they already have 300 miles on them. get the Foundation 8 instead. night and day difference.

Although not as form fitting and comfortable as the 3's, I haven't had a overuse injury from using the evolutions. i might have to change to a new shoe if the 5's are made similarily.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

I run like 30+ miles a weeek. I've tried many other MC shoes, but right now, I would say this one is the best in the market. Its light, yet gives the comfort and support my foot needs. I find it wears easier than say a Mizuno, but far better shoe at this moment. In fact, I'm looking to buy another shoe, and I'm looking at the Evo5.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

I've run in every version of the Gel Evolution and have always gotten the same size, 12.5 D. But these shoes fit unlike any pair of Asics I've owned. The mid section is extremely narrow and there's so much room in the forefoot, I probably should have ordered a size down! These shoes have worked well for me for a long time. But I'm very disappointed with this latest version and am hoping Asics goes back to the drawing board for the next version.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

I agree with Kevin that the Evolution 4 is unlike any other version. I stocked up on the Evolution 2 when I discovered it was the best shoe I've ever run in. Evolution 4 is very narrow in the middle of the foot and roomy in the toe.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

I love this shoe so much I just purchased 3 more pair to store for future use. THis is NOT a show for you if you are a neutral foot, but this is a great shoe if you need the motion control balanced with a little flexibility when compared with other MC+ shoes. Happy running!

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

If you are not a big guy but require a Motion Control shoe this is the gold standard we have been waiting for! I have tried all the Evolution versions and this is by far and away the best.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

Also, orthotics (at least mine) work great in these shoes!

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

The shoe did take a while to break in. I almost brought them back, but I am now very glad I didn't.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

Outstanding shoe. Takes a bit to get used to and break in, but alot of support in a lightweight package. Highly recommended.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

Love this latest version of the Evo. The only issue I had was the insole was giving me blisters so I pulled it out and put in a plain vanilla insole (as opposed the 'cupped heel' version that the Evo 4 provides). I've never looked back since! By far the greatest motion control shoe ever -- and I've run in everything from the Equalon, the Beast, and the Addiction 8. Nothing compares to the lightweight and amazing support that the Evo 4 provides. 5 stars for me.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Evolution 4 Running Shoe:

Had to go to 2E to get the fit right, but the shoe still rides strangely to me. The heel is very rigid due to the high TPU post(more so than the beast or renegade) and the TPU post rubs my medial heel. Forefoot is nice and flexible, but the rigidity of the heel makes the ride clompy, not asics smooth, at least to me. The solyte is softer than in the 3 but the smoothness of the 2 and 3 versions is missing.
