The GLIDERIDEâ„¢ 2 (Wide) shoe is scientifically proven to save energy over the long run. By reducing energy through the phases of the gait cycle from footstrike to toe-off, this running shoe can help you cover greater distances. This season, we wanted to leave the energy-saving properties intact while creating a smoother ride with a better fitting upper. Designed for runners who want to feel fresher for longer durations, this shoe is also a functional choice for recovery runs. This model's width is also wider to provide a more accommodating fit for those with higher volume feet.
Improving the fit of the upper, this design features an engineered mesh that provides excellent airflow while adjusting to the natural shape of the foot's motion. Paired with a 3D print, this application also creates targeted support without extra stitching or added weight.
GUIDESOLEâ„¢ technology consists of a stiff forefoot and curved sole that improve running efficiency by decreasing the load placed on the lower limbs. FLYTEFOAMâ„¢ technology cushioning is placed on the top layer of the midsole for a soft landing, while the bottom layer of FLYTEFOAMâ„¢ Propel technology generates a more responsive bounceback. Sandwiched between these two layers in the forefoot is a stiff plate that helps keep the integrity of the midsole. Encouraging an easy forward roll, this motion propels the foot forward to create smoother and more efficient transitions between strides. Additionally, the AHARPLUSâ„¢ heel plug is a rubber compound in the outsole that's designed to improve durability and extend the shoe's lifespan.
For men the standard shoe width is D, going up to a wide fitting 2E and the widest a 4E. In New Zealand the most common shoe width size* for men is a 2E. Find out more about widths.

Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GLIDERIDE 2 (2E WIDE) is made for Underpronation, and Neutral.
High arches
The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
Normal size arches
There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Strategically positioned in critical areas of the outsole, this exceptionally durable compound is 50% more durable than standard ASICS High Abrasion Rubber.
A technical mesh material that stretches in multiple directions, creating a glove, snug like fit that provides a unique balance of comfort and fit.
Combining a lightweight foam formulation with a high-energy return elastomer for increased bounce and unrivaled toe-off to give you a better performance out of every stride.
Our lightest midsole ever. Its organic fibres bounce back into its original shape in the space of each stride to provide perfect cushioning from the start of your run to the finish.
Designed to propel you forward, ASICS' innovative technology gives a shock-absorbent landing, improved toe spring shape to provide a more effiecient stride for the long run.
