What ASICS shoes do marathon runners wear?

ASICS marathon shoes offer features that distance runners seek. Professional marathon runners wear what works best for their foot type and running style, to support them in reaching new goals in comfort. When shopping for ASICS long-distance running shoes, remember that what works for your foot and your running style can vary, depending on terrain, weather conditions and more. ASICS has a variety of marathon training shoes to choose from:

• Lightweight marathon shoes: Many runners look for a lightweight shoe that won’t weigh them down, such as the ASICS NOVABLAST​​™ shoe.
• Carbon plate marathon shoes: The METASPEED​​™ racing shoes are designed for stride- and cadence-style runners who are looking to start fast and finish faster. Thanks to a propulsive carbon plate, racers can enjoy improved energy return to assist in maintaining pace.
• Cushioned marathon shoes: Keep your feet and joints happy across distances with cushioned support. The GEL-NIMBUS​​™ shoe is engineered to make you feel like you are running on clouds for a softer, smoother running experience. Enjoy premium comfort in the GEL-KAYANO​​™ long distance running shoe that features lightweight PureGEL​​™ technology for softer landings.
• Off-road and ultramarathon shoes: For performance on varied and uneven surfaces, the GEL-TRABUCO​​™ trail running shoe offers reliable grip, protection from sharp rocks and the lightweight, energetic cushioning of FF BLAST​​™ PLUS ECO.
