Men's ASICS GEL-Foundation 8

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Foundation 8 Running Shoe:

i run a lot because of the marines. so these are worth they're weight in gold for someone who has flat feet like me. Took a little to get use to the shoe, but my knees don't hate me for days after a hard run now.

I have 120 miles on my second pair. This is the best running shoe I've tried. I'm 175 lbs, 5'9", flat feet, and I run about 25 miles a week. They seem to wear down a little faster than other shoes, but I don't have any of the pain I experienced with other shoes. The price is very competitive, also.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Foundation 8 Running Shoe:

I can step into a new pair right out of the box without missing a workout. I've run in these shoes in all conditions, on all terrain, and they've always performed.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Foundation 8 Running Shoe:

I'm an over-pronator, 175 pounds, and I typically run between 20 and 30 miles per week. These shoes work better for me than any others I've tried. I'm on my 3rd pair now. They seem to break down more rapidly than other shoes I've used- after about 350 miles they're noticeably worn. However, when you compare the price, they're still hard to beat. ASICS is going to stop selling these, unfortunately. I hope they replace them with something similar.

I just bought my 3rd pair of ASICS Foundation 8s, and I love them! I took my new pair out of the box this morning and immediately ran 7.5 miles with no problems whatsoever. They provide very good motion control without being horribly heavy or clunky like some other brands. My only complaint is that the cushioning seems to wear out quickly -- I only run approx. 25 miles a week, and often alternate shoes, yet I'm still onto my 3rd pair in 9 months.

When I put these shoes on, I feel like I'm walking on clouds. They grip my foot and police my pronation effectively yet comfortably. I've had two knee surgeries and might be headed for a third and when I'm in these shoes my knees don't hurt. It's an amazing feeling to be pain free!

I am an ultramarathon runner and have found that the Asics Foundation 8 keeps me going injury freeon my single long 30 to 36 mile training runs and my back to back long runs of 16-24 miles on Saturdays and Sundays. The Asics Foundation is stable but not too bulky!

I run three times a week year round. Never had problems with injuries with this shoe. It is very comfortable and has a lot of cushion for running pavement routes.

I ran my first marathon in these last Sunday and they held up great. Will consider for my next pair again.

I've worn these 3 times and can feel the road on my forefoot. UGH!! Already looking for replacements

I have flat feet, an over-pronator, 5"10, 160 lbs, and run 16 miles per week.
This shoe has been great for me. I used the Gel-Kayano, but was overkill and much more expensive. Found that I didn't need the additional support after use the RoadRunner shoe guide. I found my last pair of Gel Foundation 8's to wear down after about 300 miles on outdoor concrete running. My knees began to hurt, replaced with new ones, and back to normal. Would be careful about putting too many miles on these puppies. But great fit and light.

I have used Asics motion control shoes for more than 10 years and aside from the Foundation 7s (sizing wasn't quite right) have been extremely satisfied. I find I have to replace after about 450 miles.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Foundation 8 Running Shoe:

I switched from Beasts to Evos a few years back and had been very happy with the Evos up to the Evo 3. When it came time to replace shoes, the reviews on the Evo 4s were so horrible that I decided to try the Foundation 8s. They have been just ok -- 215 miles on them and the insole feels pretty shot. I'm having more knee pain than with the Evos and the ankle cut-out is a little too high for my liking. I'm going to give the Evo 5s a try. I'm a 5'10" 175-180 lbs. triathlete who runs between 15-30 miles per week.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Foundation 8 Running Shoe:

This shoe looks good and performs very well. The superfeet insert is well made and can stand in for orthotics for most people. I am a moderate runner and hard striker, and I think this shoe should hold up for at least 400 miles before I will need to consider a replacement. I like the wide toebox - my toes don't rub and the mesh upper allows my feet to breath. Overall, a great shoe!

The designs, the quality, and the price are well intimidating. The first thing i notice with this shoes is the superfeet insert. This one's look great for runners and for those buzy walkers.
