Product Description
For moderate mileage runners, the GEL-Excite 4 shoe offers comfort and durability. Our signature Rearfoot and forefoot gel cushioning technology softens brisk impact, while our ahar outsole targets high-impact zones for increased resistance wear and tear.
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did have one issue in the beginning though, but I'm thinking its has more to do with either my running style or my actual feet/ankle themselves. Basically, my right ankle would get blisters after running for a while. I was wearing low cut/no show socks. This never happened to my left ankle, only the right. Seems like many other runners from what I've read have also experienced this and attributed the issue to shoes not fitting correctly as the main culprit followed by the usual just-keep-wearing-it-and-it-will-go-away fix. Thing was, the shoe felt absolutely solid on my feet. I've tried putting a bandaid on the spot my ankle was rubbing against the shoe but that didn't work too well. Finally, I figured it was my socks. I bought a pair of Feetures! no show socks and that fixed the problem right away! Turns out that socks provided more cover for my ankles than did my other pair and now I am blister free!
My tip for new runners that are also looking for a pair of running shoes is to stop looking and actually do the water test first to discover your foot type (just Google this and you'll know what I mean). Buying the most expensive and flashiest pair of shoes isn't going to help much if it wasn't designed for your foot type from what I discovered. It actually could more harm than good. Once I figured out my foot type, the rest was easy. I will definitely purchase another pair of Asics in the future.
Sadly, they're reaching the end of their lifespan as the interior around the ankle is beginning to fray, finally. I put about 700 miles into these shoes, and they're still comfortable and supportive. The next pair of running shoes I buy will be another pair of Asics, as similar to these as possible.

What i didn't expect was them coming from Jacksonville (USA) which in itself isn't a problem but what was is the FEDEX Duty/Tax bill i had for 17.76 pounds??? It also wasn't the easiest bill to pay in the current climate as FEDEX had shut down half of its web-site! So much for the bargin....
