Back to Results Asics GEL-Foundation 7 Manufacturer: Asics Price: $90 Reviewed in: Feb 2007 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Best Update Average Reader Rating: 5 stars (4 reviews) Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications Disclaimer Runner's World Awards: Best Update WE SAY: The overlays in this outstanding update have been repositioned to open up the area around the ball of the foot, just behind the big toe, where some runners develop bunions. The result is a roomy forefoot. The shoe offers a great blend of cushioning and flexibility, according to our lab tests, allowing for a more natural range of motion in lightweight runners. Recommended for runners with normal to low arches who need plenty of stability but find most motion-control shoes too stiff. WEAR-TESTERS SAY: "The heel felt soft and the shoe had enough room for my orthotics."--Bryn Burkholder, 25, Allentown "Incredibly comfortable, but the forefoot was actually a little too roomy." --Nicole Graf, 37, East Lansing Average Reader Rating: 5 stars (4 reviews) Write a Review 5 stars great shoe!!! .

Report Abuse Submitted by: runningrower, , 5 stars WOW, Extremely comfortable... honestly the most comfortable pair i have owned. Ran 6 miles in them the day i bought them. Lightweight, excellent arch support, no need for insoles. I usually wear a 10 but had to move to a 10.5 in this shoe, so be ready to go up half a size...
