ASICS GT Running Shoes

From ASICS, a leading worldwide producer of sports shoes and apparel, come the ASICS GT running shoes. ASICS GT running shoes represent a bold innovation in performance footwear. Like all ASICS products, ASICS GT running shoes are based on the company’s cutting edge research in athletic achievement and its commitment to provide the ultimate in comfort and performance for sports enthusiasts everywhere.

ASICS GT Running Shoes For Serious Athletes

ASICS GT running shoes are extremely well-regarded by serious athletes. Runners notice the difference as soon as they put them on. The shoes provide a high level of cushioning and stability. At first, some might think there’s too much cushioning. But when they start running, and discover they still retain good ground feel and responsiveness, they’ll realize it’s actually the perfect amount. The GEL cushioning system gives excellent shock absorption, especially in the heel and forefoot, and enables runners to go long distances without the ache and wear on bones and joints they get from other shoes.  But the ASICS GT running shoes don’t stop there. Many running shoes only cushion the front and heel of the feet, leaving the midsole potentially open to pain and discomfort. The ASICS GT running shoes feature a Solyte cushioned midsole to provide even more support to the bottom of the feet. Many runners find they can wear these shoes with regular cotton socks, and don’t need special running or workout socks. Meanwhile, the Impact Guidance System precisely matches the foot’s natural movement from heel impact to toe launch.

The ASICS GT running shoes also give terrific stability. The fit is snug and the toe box is fairly narrow. Because of this, feet tend not to slip inside the shoes, resulting in blisters. The feet can stay relaxed; there’s no need to grip the interior of the shoes with the toes. Another critical area is the arch. The arch is one of the major sites to keep the feet stable and supported, and prevent sprained ankles. In the ASICS GT running shoes, the arch is well constructed and will not collapse.

The rest of the shoes are also designed with serious runners in mind. The shoes’ synthetic mesh construction, combined with unique ComforDry technology, prevents the feet from overheating or developing heat rashes. Even runners who tend to perspire a lot will do well with the ASICS GT running shoes. The solid rubber outsole provides firm traction even on less than perfect running surfaces.  The synthetic leather upper resists dirt and is easy to clean.

ASICS GT Running Shoes History

ASICS was started In 1949, when Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began manufacturing basketball shoes in his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the ASICS name for the company in 1977, based on a well-known Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano,” which expresses the ancient ideal of “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.” The company was founded on the belief that the best way to create a happy lifestyle is through good health and fitness. To this end, ASICS offers a full line of performance-enhancing athletic shoes and apparel designed to promote harmony in the body and soul.
In May 1990, ASICS opened the Research Institute of Sports Science in Kobe. There, athletes, coaches, and sports scientists collaborate in studying and analyzing the movements of the body in various sports and testing all types of materials. Over 200 people work in a 45,000 square foot research facility with the singular goal of helping elite and recreational athletes around the world to reach new heights and enjoy their athletic endeavors. The latest findings of the research staff are incorporated in each pair of ASICS GT running shoes.

ASICS GT Running Shoes Are For Men And Women

ASICS GT running shoes are available in both men’s and women’s styles. Men’s and women’s feet are shaped slightly differently, so their shoes also differ slightly in design. The women’s sole is different to account for the difference in the arches of women’s feet. ASICS GT running shoes also come in a variety of colors.

For those looking for even more customization, there are special versions of the shoes available. Runners who tend to under-pronate or moderately over-pronate will appreciate the GEL-Cumulus 12, which provides extra cushioning and stability. This version of the shoe features the Space Trusstic System that compensates for periodic changes in the arch and adds stability and control. Those who prefer to run on trails rather than a track will like the GT-2160 trail running shoe. This version of the ASICS GT running shoes provides midsole support and increased stability. It also features a tightly woven mesh upper to keep out dirt, mud, and water. Its Guidance Line system improves stride efficiency. Getting back to more conventional running styles, there’s the Women’s ASIC GT-2110. This is designed for an average runner with a medium build and low to medium arches. Its DuoMax support system offers a cushioned basket from heel impact to toe launch.

Even many people who are not runners, but need a comfortable and durable shoe, find ASICS GT running shoes to be the ideal work shoes. Law enforcement, rescue, and security personnel rely on these amazingly versatile shoes in their jobs. Whether training, working, or working out, ASICS GT running shoes provide the ideal combination of comfort and support.
