Women's ASICS GEL-Foundation 9

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I just ordered my new pair and can't wait until they get here. I've been a runner for eight years and have been wearing this shoe since the beginning. I do about 30 miles per week, mostly pavement, and they hold up for a solid 500 miles. I'm a severe overpronator with flat feet, but they keep the shin splints away.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

As a physical therapist, I can say, this is a great shoe for the mild to moderate over-pronator. I religiously wear New Balance and noticed the toe boxes on the New Balance shoes were getting slightly narrower, a problem if you tend to be a moderate pronator. I reluctantly switched to this Asics and have never been happier. I almost always put my patients and myself in New Balance, but now I will also consider Asics, espeically if a wider toe box is needed. These shoes felt great from the moment I put them on. Well done Asics!

These shoes have great motion control for my flat feet and severe over-pronation plus cushion and flexibility for a comfortable run. They're not as stiff as my Brooks Addictions. I did intially get a huge blister on my right arch but switched from cotton to wicking socks and have had no further problems.

These shoes are the perfect blend of motion control and flexibility. I have flat feet and severe over-pronation and have been running 15 miles/week in Brooks Addicitons for the past couple years. While the Brooks have terrific all-over motion control, they are really stiff. I bought the Asics looking for a more flexible shoe. Like many of the reviewers of the Asics Gel-Foundation 8, I developed a huge blister on the arch of my right foot and thought I'd have to return them. But after tending to the blister, I switched from cotton socks to wicking socks and have had no other problems.

I have worn different versions of this shoe for the last five years. As a mom of two young children, maintaining my fitness is very important to me. I am currently training for two half-marathons in October and swapping out three pairs of this shoe. This new model is the best yet! Great for speed intervals and also comfortable on my long runs. After all my years of running, these shoes seem to provide stability and help me keep my injuries under control. Plus, they are cute/easy to wear in any activity. Every time I start training for a new event I call to inquire about shoes, I find myself in these every time. Love them....

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

The fit is great and shoe was comfortable right away. Seems to fit better in bunion area with less pinch - finally pinch callous is going away. Seems to have enough pronation control/support without my orthotic though I will try both ways. Lighter than other motion conrol shoes I have worn. Only thing I don't like is the "shiny"/ plastic stripes but not a big deal. Don't know if it holds up yet as these are very new to me.

I am a surgeon on my feet for up to 30 hours at a time. These are so comfortable I bought two pairs. I can wear them and come home and my feet not hurt. They are not heavy, breathable, and supportive. Would definitely buy them again.

This is a great shoe for the money. I am a 135lb female with moderate overpronation issues and find this shoe very comfortable for any run, short or long. My inserts fit well inside and the toebox is a very good width. I haven't found anything wrong with them after 1 month of use.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

These are the best running shoes I've ever owned. They were deliciously comfortable right out of the box and they offer terrific support for my (mostly) flat feet. Best of all, they're not too heavy and don't feel clunky, like some of the other motion control shoes I've tried. I've long been a fan of Asics and I've now found my perfect shoes (I love them even more than the Kayano). If you've got issues with pronation and need both cushioning and motion control, these shoes are a wonderful investment. I adore them.

I alternate these with the Asics Evolution which is a little heavier. I like to use these for races and they are very comfortable

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I have used Asics Gel Foundation since the 6. Went thru 3 pairs of the 8s with no problems. Had to switch to the 9s and they started out great-ran a half marathon in them with no problems. But, after about 120 miles on them (should be able to get at least 300 out of them) I started developing blisters on my long runs on my insteps, so I am looking to switch. Going back to the pair of 8s I have left that have about 250 on them until I find something that works. Boo!

After 24 years, I'm finally off orthodics thanks to this shoe which provides stability and motion control. Looking forward to many more miles!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I am a marathon runner and have always had Brooks Addictions for my over-pronation. The RRS guy suggested the Gel Foundation when I asked for something new. I love them! I alternate my Asics and Brooks now. I also wear them to work and they have great cushion for concrete floors, and very stylish I might add!!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

Love the shoe. It has good pronation support but I still have to wear my ortho inserts with them. There is plenty of room in the toebox area so I can wear a heavier sock in the winter if needed. Overall this is a great shoe and recommend it.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I am part of an ROTC program at a University so I am constantly working out and on my feet. I have very low arches and over pronate quite a bit. The ASICS Gel Foundation 9 gives me just the right amount of support and control that I need for running and athletic training and are the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've ever had.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

These shoes are great for the gym, running, walking, standing, or every day use. I have to be on pair # 6.. My orthotics feel great inside, and with regular use I buy a pair about every 6 months.

I'm a middle-aged woman, who began running in 2000 when the cross country ski machine began to bore me. Though not a marathon runner, I run 4-6 miles three to four times per week to stay in shape and to clear my head--I love it!

I started with the Asics Gel, and have never looked back. These shoes have proven to be extremely reliable in all kinds of weather and surface types. The fit is true, though I wish the arch support was a bit more firm for my aging feet. I will continue to order my Asics as long as they are available!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I've owned 6 or 7 of these over the years. I love the way they feel and the cushioning.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I am a 5-6 day a week gym rat. Activities vary from treadmill and elliptical based cardio to cross training and Bodypump classes. This shoe is comfortable and supportive without being heavy. I was lured away by Brooks and Mizuno before finally returning to my original favorite Asics and will not be swayed again!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Foundation 9 Running Shoe:

I'm training for a marathon and lately have had tendencies toward calf pain and achilles tenderness. I'm looking for a lighter shoe for the actual race. I'm currently in a Brooks Ariel which works great for me, but is SOOO heavy.

I loved the Gel 9 shoe, but I have flat feet and overpronate. This shoe is in the Motion Control category and I guess I am in the Motion Control + category. It was comfy, great toe box, light and supportive... just not enough for me. I think this would be a great shoe for most people. I love the way ASICS fit so I ordered their Motion Control + shoe, the Gel-Evolution 6. I'll let you know how it goes...
