Why buy ASICS shoes?

ASICS running shoes are a classic for a reason. With styles so loved that they’ve been around for 25 years, it’s no wonder ASICS shoes are synonymous with running. They’re designed to boost your performance with heightened comfort, responsive cushioning, and breathable fabrics—and they succeed in doing so.

What is ASICS GEL Cushioning?

Perhaps the most widely known technology in every pair of ASICS running shoes is the ASICS GEL midsole, first used in 1986. It’s ultra-shock absorbent, which means ultra-comfort and ultra-spring in your step—literally. It sits beneath both the heel and the toe, to keep you supported and cushioned all the way through each and every step. For endless miles of comfort and support, ASICS GEL cushioning is a must.

Which ASICS running shoe should I buy?

The short answer is that you really can’t go wrong with any pair of ASICS running sneakers. That said, each style of ASICS shoes does have specific benefits that can help you in your activity of choice, whether you’re shopping for CrossFit shoes for female athletes or sports shoes for men . For a pair of men’s ASICS to wear while distance running, check out the ASICS GEL-Kayano 25. These shoes use two different materials in the midsole, called FlyteFoam Propel and FlyteFoam Lyte, that are specifically designed to cushion each and every step and provide exceptional bounce-back, to keep you moving forward. Added technology keeps the sole light without skimping on the structural integrity of the shoe. For women’s ASICS to support your run on a variety of terrain, try the ASICS Gen-Nimbus 20, which features the OrthoLite footbed to prevent blisters, as well as Heel Clutching System Technology to provide added heel support at any angle. Finally, the Gel-Nimbus features gender-specific cushioning. The women’s model features a low-density top layer in the midsole, allowing for increased midsole compression—and making it one of the best ASICS women's running shoes available.
