The venerable shoe by Asics has been a top seller in running stores around the country for the past 20 years. Why? The shoe neatly combines a plush feel with the perfect amount of stability (Asics’ Dynamic Duomax) for the moderate over pronator. The shoe is a fantastic fit for standard road running and can even survive the trails without causing sprained ankles, thanks to its unique heel clutching system (although there is a trail specific version). The shoe weighs around 8.2 oz, has a 10mm heel-to-toe drop and can survive 500 miles of pounding.
