In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Ever since my daughter recommended Asics, I feel I have found the best running/sneakers shoes. This is my second pair, and I alternate between them for their different colors, depends on my mood for the day. Very comfortable, great selection of colors and designs. I stay away from the most pricey styles but get great value at Amazon for great quality and style. My shoe size is 9.5, but I get these in a 10 size because somewhere along the line I was advised to go 1/2 size larger than regular shoes. The extra 1/2 in size advise was perfect, and 10 fits just right. I think I might have called Asics once and they may have given me that advice. I always check the reviews for any style I am interested in to see that most other customers have to say.

My feet thank you
On my many years on this planet, I have worn just about every tennis-running-sneaker one can imagine. I have found that Asics makes one fine shoe. I can wear these all day as others just fade in comfort after a half day or so. I bumped up my shoe size as my arch relaxed due to my advanced age, it happens to everyone as I am told by my doctor. One half size bigger is not much if you are not running but walking, These are running shoes designed for foot pronation, the inward movement of the ankle/foot. I find these much better for walking than any others I have tried in the past, and I have a closet full of losers. Theses are not cheap Walmart sneakers, they last and the comfort is worth the few extra bucks.

Decent running shoes great value
I am what I would consider a casual but regular runner, I run about 3 to 4 miles 2-3 times a week. I had a pair of Brooks Adrenaline 11 and loved them but could not find my size and so I wound up going with this model. I think they are pretty much out of stock, so I"ll keep this short. They were a little wider than I thought in the heel based on the size but otherwise fit well and are comfortable. Heel is very soft and absorbs impacts, they offer good support in the arch. They have a somewhat spongy feel to them, I prefer the Brooks.

Good road shoe for up to 400 miles
Just put 500 miles on these shoes over 6 months and now retiring them.These have been very good shoes. They are very comfortable and I really liked the weight. They never seemed too large or heavy. I primarily ran with them on roads and they are absolutely best for that surface. I would not run with them on trails because they are not designed for that. In fact, whenever I was running and had to go into some grass you could feel they were not designed for that surface.These are clearly road running shoes. Around 475 miles I started to seeing some wear on the top near my toe area (see picture). Also the shoe kind of has lost some of it's support.I would buy these shoes for up to 400 miles of road running. 5 star shoe for up to 400 miles on the road.

The inside of the shoe is very comfortable. There is a good amount of arch support ...
PRODUCT REVIEWI will start off by saying I haven't bought an actual pair of athletic/running shoes in about 15 years. In fact, I don't think I've spent more than $30 on shoes in the past 10 or 15 years. However, I recently got on a running kick and realized that I NEEDED some actual running shoes. So, I did some research and came across the ASICS GT 2000 running shoe. This shoe was often seen on many of the recommendation list in regard to “best running shoes.” I found them here on Amazon and thought I would give them a try.The build of the shoe is top-notch. The material is very solid and doesn't feel cheap at all. I am very hard on my shoes (I have wide feet) and these shoes have stood their ground. The inside of the shoe is very comfortable. There is a good amount of arch support and the heel is very well cushioned. When I'm running, I feel no discomfort in my feet at all.I ordered the bright green shoes because I wanted shoes that would stand out at night. And, boy...do they stand out. The color is extremely bright and visible even in low-light conditions. If they get dirty, a simple wash in the washing machine (gentle cycle, of course) and they come out looking like new.I mentioned before that I have wide feet so I was little concerned that these shoes may not fit well. I usually wear a size 10-10.5 so I ordered an 11 just in case. To be fair, the shoes are a TINY bit narrow but they still fit my wide feet comfortably. If you have wide feet, just order a half-size larger than normal and you won't have any problem.SELLER REVIEWI received my shoes just a few days after I ordered them. Zero complaints about the seller.

I've been looking for a good pair of running shoes
All,I've been looking for a good pair of running shoes, and these came up on a search I did for "best sneakers for heavy runners with low arches and over pronation".I am 5"8' 200 lbs. While I am far from a marathon runner, I enjoy a 5K a few times a week. A few months back I developed planters fasciitis and had to stop for a while to heal. I decided it was time to go back, and took some time researching the shoes I should buy. I wasn't aware that there were shoes made specifically for heavy, flatfooted people like me. Turns out I was running in wrong shoes my entire life and the latest injury was the result of that.With all of that being said, I have to tell you that these may be the best shoes I have ever ran in. My feet didn't hurt, and still don't, after multiple 5K's. I've been an avid New Balance customer but these have just won me over.I am a US 9 in NB, and these fit the same.TL;DR - I am 41 years old, 5"8', 200lbs, flatfooted and over pronate. These are the best shoes i have even ran in.Mac
