The Different Types of ASICS Running Shoes « Onitsuka Tiger By ...

Â* Everyone has a different gait, and the shape of the feet differs from one person to another. ASICS running shoes are available in five different classes designed to cater to specific needs – Neutral, Cushioning, Structured Cushioning, and Maximum Support. Sizes for men and women are available under each category. Â* Neutral running shoes provide a balance for all the essentials: cushioning, stability, and control. The GEL-Kinsei is the perfect example, and is recommended for runners with a normal foot arch and neutral pronation. The Guidance Line was designed to help runners adapt to the natural flow of a foot strike, maintaining a fluid gait over long distances. Â* Underpronators with a high foot arch can expect <a href="http://www.8shoxonline.com/products_all.html"><strong>Shox Nike Shoes</strong></a> to benefit from the Cushioning line, with the GEL-Nimbus standing at the forefront of this class. Excellent cushioning is provided by the trademark silicon based gel in the midsole and the use of a light-weight Solyte foam. Runners can therefore reap the benefits of added cushioning for comfort without the encumbrance of the unwanted weight. Â* The Structured Cushioning range presents a balance between motion control and cushioning which will please mild overpronators. The GEL-Kayano helps mitigate the impact of shock so that the bones and joint do not have to bear the brunt. The women's model features a 3-mm increase in heel height to diminish tension on the Achilles tendon. Â* Flatfooted runners tend to overpronate when running long distances, which is why they should look out for the Maximum Support series, which promises superb motion control. GEL-Evolution is one of the top products of the line. It provides the greatest cushioning to reduce impact, and, while the shoe may be slightly heavier, flexibility <a href="http://www.8shoxonline.com/"><strong>Nike Shox Shoes</strong></a> is not compromised. This leads to a smoother toe-off, instead of the stiffness runners may feel from the majority of motion-control shoes. Â* Research and Development behind ASICS Running Shoes May 1990 marked the opening of the Research Institute of Sports Science in Kobe. Here, several sports facilities allow researchers to carry out on-site experiments and observations of human body motion. State-of-the-art materials and technologies are developed through their findings, which are then applied in the design of ASICS running shoes. Examples of technologies developed by this team of researchers are the Impact Guidance System and Wet Grip Rubber. Â* ASICS also works with several prominent athletes across various sports disciplines to increase its understanding of people's needs, which is critical in coming up with new and improved products. This benefits not only professional athletes but also the general public.

Â* 2010 has been a fruitful year for ASICS, with Runner's World Magazine bestowing upon them the prestigious "Best Update" award for GEL-Nimbus 12. It has been commended by wearers all over the world for stability, soft cushioning and asymmetrical lacing design that allows for a snug fit.

Upon testing, he was pleased at its excellent shock-absorbing features and breathable upper which kept his feet dry through long runs. He says they aren't the lightest shoes, but they make up for this by making running feel easy on the body, even when training in the woods or out in the desert. Â* Greg is yet another satisfies customer. He bought his ASICS Men's GEL-Nimbus 12 Running Shoe, as he needed a lot of cushioning for his hip, which normally gets sore if he runs more frequently than thrice each week. He found his pair to be great heavy duty shoes, excellent for running on hard surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. Â* Upon a friend's recommendation, William bought his GEL-Nimbus to address his flat feet, as he experienced runner's knee and calf cramps after prolonged running using an ASICS shoe unsuitable for his foot type. He found his shoes to be extremely comfortable and breathable, the only downside being the limited color selection available and the fact that the Achilles' tendon support tended <a href="http://cndfsk.com/blog/blog.php?do=showone&uid=1727&type=blog&itemid=2812 93"><strong>Various Ugg Boots this season | ugg boots wholesale sale</strong></a> to wear out quickly when he used cotton socks.
