Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: This updated classic is an ounce lighter yet features larger gel pads under the heel and forefoot. It also comes with a new supercomfy ankle collar, made of memory foam designed to mold the shoe around the rearfoot. Asics reduced the number of forefoot overlays to decrease blister risk, but added internal bands to maintain structure. We recommend this shoe for runners with high arches looking for a durable lightweight trainer with plenty of cushioning.
