Asics Shoes

[elicoleman]

Does anyone own a pair of these, or has in the past?

Tonight, I went to Kohl's looking for new shoes, and came across em. I'd heard good things, but never ventured to try any of them on but I did tonight and WOW.

I put them on and I couldn't believe just how comfortable these shoes are. Normally when I try on a shoe, I normally can't tell if I like it or not, and even after walking around, still can't.

With these Aasics, I knew immediately that those were the ones I wanted.

I definitely suggest checking them out if you're just looking for some basic tennis shoes to wear.

Re: Aasics Shoes

I'm a runner and they are probably in the top 2 or 3 for runners. They also have 10 times the value of Nike because when everyone elses Nikes are breaking down, you're Asics will have plenty of miles left on them.

Re: Aasics Shoes

are they flat midsoled? or built up quite a bit like the typical nikes?

Re: Aasics Shoes

Aasics are nice, but I perfer New Balance; especially their 723 series shoe. I found out they were being discontinued so I bought another 3 pairs in my size. Greatest running shoes on earth!

I like Aasics, they last a VERY long time and but I don't find them as comfortable as New Balance or even Nike.

Re: Asics Shoes

my city has this new balance store... shoes are soo expensive there. I can buy two nikes for the price of one new balance and get just about the same amount of life out of either.

how much do asics run?

Re: Asics Shoes

I have some really comfortable Nike cross trainers, don't know what style they are though.

Re: Asics Shoes

if they are recent, there should be a 6 digit style code followed to the right with a 3 digit colorcode... you could google it.. just a FYI

I love New Balance as well. The pair of shoes I just replaced were 991's that I've had for over 3 years. Those were some really, really comfortable shoes, especially after I put some insoles in them.

The greatest thing about New Balance is the width. I have a wider foot than what Nike makes (or most other companies) so New Balance was a perfect fit. I used to get Nike when I was younger because of the name, but I realized they just were killing my feet.

PS - Thanks for whoever fixed my title. I've always assumed that little loop in from of Asics was another "A", making it Aasics.

Yeah, New Balance can get pretty expensive but I wouldn't get them at the New Balance store. I'd try and find another shoe store, you're likely to find a better deal.

The 991's I had were $120 when I got em, but got a discount because I worked at Just For Feet.

And for price range of Asics, it all depends on what you're wanting in your shoes. Obviously, every company is going to have shoes $100+ but those are for people that need a long lasting, very comfortable running shoe (Marathon runners, etc). The shoes I got last night were $50, even though they are $70 retail.

Re: Asics Shoes

I own a pair of New Balance 991's and a pair of Nike Shox that I got custom made online.



Don't EVER play basketball in a pair of New Balance shoes...

So so true, especially if they're 3 years old and have no traction on it. Just ask MissStFan. I was sliding all over the court.

Re: Asics Shoes

I have some nice Nike's for tennis.

They are so awesome, lightweight and have pretty good traction on the court.
