APMA Accepted Footwear at ASICS

The seal recognizes products that are found to be beneficial to foot health, and earning it reflects our commitment to making movement feel better for everybody.

ASICS Philosophy

Our mission is to help people achieve Anima Sana in Corpore Sano — a Sound Mind in a Sound Body™. We believe that the ability to move freely, comfortably, and safely has the power to uplift the mind. That’s why we set out to design high-quality shoes that support your every step.

Human-Centric Design

For us, designing shoes is an exercise in innovation. Our design philosophy is based on kaizen, or “continuous improvement.” Each iteration of a running shoe is tested by elite athletes at the ASICS Institute of Sports Science in Kobe, Japan. Our analysis of human movement, combined with new advances in technology, helps us fine-tune our footwear for minimized injury risk and maximum comfort.

How Do I Choose a Running Shoe?

Whether you’re a brand-new runner or training for your next marathon, it’s crucial to wear shoes that support your body and running style. We’ve been developing shoes for nearly 75 years and continue to evolve each model using the latest research and materials. You can find your best fit using our Shoe Finder tool —it’s quick, easy, and helps narrow down your search with just 6 questions.

APMA Accepted

To earn the APMA Seal of Acceptance, products are reviewed by a committee of podiatrists — doctors who specialize in treating the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg — to ensure that they promote good foot health. The committee also assesses the product’s safety, quality control, and other data.
