Asics Neutral and Cushioning Running Shoes
Welcome to the Runnersworld Asics Neutral Cushioned Shoes section. Please select from the available options to view the best in Neutral Cushioned Shoes.
This segment is designed to meet the needs of underpronators to mild overpronators and tend to have a high arch. This type of runner needs a great deal of shock attenuation because they don't absorb shock naturally through pronation. Instead of the body's connective tissue absorbing shock through pronation, bones and joints take the brunt of the shock. It's vital that shoes in the Cushioning segment attenuate as much initial impact shock as possible. An additional note: runners wearing Cushioning shoes tend have a rigid forefoot, thus requiring that the shoe be very flexible there.
Asics Structured Cushioning Running Shoes
Welcome to the Runnersworld Womens Asics Running Shoes section. Please select from the available options to view the best in Womens Asics Running Shoes.
Products in the Structured Cushioning segment are designed for runners who pronate slightly more than normal and generally have a normal arch. Their foot strike takes place in a neutral to slightly pronated position, using the body's natural pronation to attenuate shock. Structured Cushioning runners need their shoes to help control a small degree of overpronation, but they don't need all the shock attenuation attributes of a Cushion segment shoe.
Asics Motion Control Running Shoes
Welcome to the Runnersworld Womens Asics Running Shoes section. Please select from the available options to view the best in Womens Asics Running Shoes.
The Maximum Support/Motion Control category is designed for runners who tend to land in an overtly pronated position with a flat foot. Like the Cushion segment, these runners are not using all their body's natural shock attenuation mechanisms. What makes them different is that these runners exhibit a large degree of pronation beginning with landing in a pronated state, then continuing past normal. Like the Structured Cushion segment, these runners need help to control the degree of pronation.
