Asics.....?

Question

So I'm sort of a shoe snob when it comes to my running shoes...I'm exclusively an Asics girl...I've tried pretty much every brand--I really hate Nike and Adidas--they're way too heavy for me. I've been running in Asics Gel Enhance III (which @ 70 bucks is one of their lower end models but they work great for me) and love them but I've completely worn them out. I looked for them on the Asics website and they don't make them anymore. Do any of you know of a similar shoe? I need something that's lightweight...and I run outside in all kinds of weather so I need something that is pretty durable....

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I wear nothing but Asics, and wore Asics Gel Frantics for about 6 months because they looked pretty cool; I wore them out though, and think I got a stress fracture from all the pavement running I was doing.

Recently bought Asics-Gel Nimbus 9's (bit pricey at $120) due to their cushioning; ran in them for 6 weeks now and haven't felt any pain whatsoever; calves got a bit of a shock though at first getting used to all the cushioning, but now it's all good.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Try the Asics DS-trainer, they are light weight and gives you cushion and support. The durability could be an issue if you heel strikes.

Answer 4

You can still buy the Asics Gel III online. They're even on sale.  See

Answer 5

Buy the updated version of that shoe.

Answer 6

I have nothing to add or answer here... but I'm kind of proud to learn that I've accidentally fallen into a community of Asics lovers, thereby becoming a shoe snob.

I use mine for walking and very light jogging.
