Men's Running Shoes

Find Your Rhythm with ASICS Men’s Running Shoes

Running isn’t just about pace, distance, or performance. It’s about how it makes you feel. A clearer head. A calmer state. A better day. At ASICS, we design our men’s running shoes to support not just your stride, but your state of mind.

Whatever your reason, we’re here for the run

Whether you’re heading out before the world wakes up, clearing your head after a long day, or training for something bigger, every step has the power to shift your mindset. Our running shoes are made to help you stay comfortable, grounded, and focused - whatever running means to you.

Made for every kind of runner

We know that every runner is different. That’s why our range includes options for all terrains, from city pavements to muddy trails, and for every kind of runner, whether you’re easing back into a routine or clocking up long distances each week.

Comfort that moves you forward

What matters most is that you feel supported, stable, and able to enjoy the run. Because when movement feels good, it becomes something more than exercise. It becomes your time to reconnect, reset, and re-energise.

The right shoes are just the start. From lightweight men’s running shorts to weather-ready running jackets, our apparel is made to move with you; supporting comfort, breathability, and focus on every run.

What are the best running shoes for men?

The "best" running shoes for men can vary greatly depending on individual preferences, your foot shape, running style, and intended use. Different runners have different needs with regards to cushioning, stability, support, and durability. At ASICS, we designed our shoes for the specifics of each purpose and pronation type.

Are men's running shoes different to women's?

ASICS offers distinct shoe designs for both men and women, recognising the varying anatomical characteristics of each sex’s feet and body shape. Men's shoes are crafted with a wider and larger construction, while women's shoes adopt a narrower and smaller profile. Furthermore, ASICS' men's shoes typically feature a higher heel-to-toe drop in comparison to women's trainers. Men are generally heavier than women, so men’s running shoes tend to have a little more cushioning and support built in (that also means the shoes weigh proportionately more). Selecting the appropriate shoe model based on your gender and specific requirements is crucial in preventing discomfort and potential injuries during your runs.

How to style men's running shoes?

To achieve a sporty-casual vibe, opt for some fitted joggers or leggings to complement the shoes. Or for added versatility, pair the running shoes with dark denim and a well-fitted t-shirt – a combination that effortlessly balances comfort and style. If you're aiming for a streetwear-inspired outfit, coordinating vibrant running shoes with casual jeans and a stylish hoodie can elevate your appearance. Feel free to explore different colour combinations and styles to curate a well-rounded and fashionable look that seamlessly blends performance and style.

How should men's running shoes fit?

As a general rule, aim for approximately half to a whole thumb's width of space between your toes and the front of your running shoes. If you find that you have less room than this, it might be a good idea to consider increasing your shoe size by half a size. This adjustment can provide your foot with more freedom to shift naturally as it makes contact with the ground during your runs. Remember that your feet will swell slightly when you’re exercising (and towards the end of the day), so you’ll want extra room for this too.

Should you size up men’s running shoes?

If your running shoes are too tight, you might encounter issues like blisters, numbness, and overall discomfort. To tackle these problems, we suggest considering a half-size increase when purchasing running shoes. Ensuring adequate space in the toe box of your shoe is crucial, providing the necessary room for extended runs without any undue discomfort.
