Pavement, park or track, find your best fit with ASICS menās running shoes
Finding the right running shoes for men can make all the difference, helping you stay comfortable and perform your best with every stride. Whether you're new to running or training for your next marathon, navigating the different styles, fits and features can feel overwhelming.
At ASICS, we design running shoes with a human-centric approach, focusing on how the body moves and feels, and how materials and design can evolve to meet the needs of all types of runners. Below are some tips on choosing the best ASICS menās running shoes for your running style, foot type and goals.
What makes ASICS menās running shoes so comfortable?
Comfort in our men's running shoes is built from the ground up. It starts with the midsole, where the ASICS Institute of Sport Science has developed a family of foams, each tuned to a different kind of run. FF BLASTā¢ PLUS and FF BLASTā¢ MAX cushioning are soft and comfort-first, built for the easy kilometres that make up most of a training week. FF LEAPā¢ cushioning adds propulsion for the days you pick up the pace. You'll find these foams across models like the GEL-KAYANOā¢ 33, SUPERBLASTā¢ and NOVABLASTā¢ 6. Up top, engineered mesh uppers round it out with adaptive support, a better fit and breathability.
How to pick the right running sneakers for men?
Picking the right menās running shoes and sneakers is a matter of knowing what to look for and what you need. Your running goals, style, typical terrain and habits can help determine what features make the most sense for you. For example, your choice will likely be different if youāre running on a trail as opposed to running on a track. It can help to take a deep dive into tips for choosing running shoes and explore all the different factors to consider.
Quick fit tips:
Aim for about half to a full thumbās width of space between your toes and the front of the shoe.
Try shoes on in the afternoon or evening, when feet are slightly larger.
If you have wide feet, consider models offered in wide (2E)
What are the best running shoes for men?
For most people, that means road running shoes, since that's where the bulk of training happens. It really comes down to what you're using them for. Long, easy runs call for a daily trainer such as the GEL-NIMBUSā¢ if you are looking for a neutral, maximum cushioned shoe or GEL-KAYANOā¢ if you need extra support through your stride. The NOVABLASTā¢ is a lightweight trainer that offers a more energetic, bouncier ride. Chasing a faster tempo session or race day speed, ASICS carbon-plated METASPEEDā¢ and MAGIC SPEEDā¢ models are built for that, not for daily training. Running takes you off the road? Trail running and track call for a different shoe altogether, so a quick check of the Pronation Guide or a Foot-ID fitting will get you started.
What features do ASICS menās running trainers have?
ASICS running sneakers for men offer a variety of features based on the style and purpose of the shoe, including:
Cushioning for every pace: From FF BLASTā¢ PLUS and FF BLASTā¢ MAX for everyday comfort to FF LEAPā¢ for faster sessions, our midsole foams are matched to the run.
Stability and support: Our 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTIONā¢ offer personalised support, stabilising your feet and improving the efficiency of your gait.
Breathable and lightweight uppers: We use lightweight upper materials that improve breathability and wrap your foot with a soft feel.
Durability: Features such as our ASICSGRIPā¢ outsole provide advanced grip and durability, even on the most challenging terrain.
Sustainability: We design with the environment in mind, using materials and processes that reduce our impact on the natural world.
Men's running shoes are offered in a variety of widths to give options for a good fit. Depending on the model, men's widths range from standard to extra-wide, so both can find the width that suits their feet. If youāre unsure about width or size, use our Size & Fit Guide to check measurements and width codes, then visit an ASICS store for a FootID fitting. In store, trained specialists can measure your feet, analyse your gait on a treadmill and recommend the right width and model for your stride.
