I've been wearing Asics running shoes now for more years than I care to remember. Most of the time, they feel great right out of the box. Through the years, Asics has tried to make certain models better and not done a great job (Kayano comes to mind but it's back to being a great shoe but overall I've been more than pleased with my shoes.I needed a couple of new pair of running shoes and actually picked up 3 pair at the time. One of the models that I picked up was the Asics Gel-Phoenix. I had never run in a pair of Phoenix before, but I decided to give them a try. (The sales person told me that they were good for my foot type.) And, besides, they were a pretty slime green color! J When I tried them on, they felt wonderful! Even better than my usual model (2100 and 1100 series). Another reason to take them home.
Yesterday I did something that I've never done before. Even though you can usually put on a pair of Asics running shoes and they feel like an old friend, I still broke in a pair by doing several shorter runs in them before I headed out for a longer run. Yesterday I had an 8-miler scheduled and knew that the 2 pair of shoes that I'd been running were nearing their retirement mileage. So, I decided to wear my new pair of Gel-Phoenix.
And, I'm really glad that I did. They felt great and my run went super. I was a little scared heading out about a new pair of shoes for a longer run but this pair handled it beautifully. The cushioning and support were terrific! I couldn't believe how great my feet felt after the run in brand new shoes!
My foot has normal arches and I'm a midfoot striker and these shoes are wonderful! I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for a stable shoe with some cushioning. In my opinion, you can buy Asics shoes that cost more than the Gel-Phoenix, but give these a try.
