I find Asics Running Shoes work the best for me. I have knee problems as soon as I know a shoe isn't working for me and I do not usually have knee problems with Asics until it is time to change them out due to wear.

Asics are super classic. Again, it's impossible to review an entire brand of running shoes since there's so many of them to choose from depending on your feet.

The only series I've used from Asics is the 2100 series - this one is a mid-range shoe for overpronators. I've used the 2150, 2160, and 2170 series. For me, they all had the same issue of intermittent blisters under my arch. They're also a little heavy. I think they're worthwhile trying since it's consistently one of the more popular running shoes, but I prefer other brands now both for style, weight and function.

Still in one-piece after 3yrs of wear. I'd say that I'll be a repeat customer.

I have to say that Asics Running Shoes are the MOST comfortable shoes! My sister recommended Asics to me about 2 years ago. Since that time, I haven't purchased any other brand. In fact, I just bought my 3rd pair. I can't say enough about these shoes! Usually, you have to "break in" new shoes but I haven't had that problem with Asics. They are comfortable and "ready to go" right out of the box!!
I have recommened Asics Running Shoes to friends and family members and everyone who's bought them thanks me. They say that they "never knew what they were missing".
I can't imagine ever wearing any other brand of running shoes from this point on. I'm a HUGE Asics fan !!

I bought my first pair almost 4 years ago and haven't changed since. I am guilty of buying the same style multiple times before they come out with the newer version. My ITB has been controlled, and my feet haven't had problems since. LOVE THEM!

When I first started running, I suffered from bad runners knees. My husband insisted I replace my New Balance with a new pair of runners because he said it'd really help to have a pair of proper running shoes. He suggested I try the Asics shoes because they are lightweight and breathable. Asics shoes are more expensive than the New Balance but they have a wide range of runners to choose from. I tried a couple of different brands (include Nike, Rebok, NB, etc.) and settled for the mid-range Asics Gel-1100. I noticed a huge difference between my new Asics and my old NB shoes. The shoes were extremely light which made the running seemed easier and the breathable fabric kept my feet relatively cool during the run, esp. during the summer. The Gel-1100 are corrective shoes which meant they adjust for my feet rolling as I run. After switching to these new cushioning shoes, I have noticed a big improvement in terms of my knees, my foot and my training.

Since then, I bought a second pair of Asics (Gel-Cumulus) for work. I am on my feet a lot and sometime I get terrible feet and leg pain after a long day of work. I don't wear them everyday but I noticed a big difference in terms of recovery time - my muscles recover from fatigue and over-stress faster (compared to wearing other non-cushioning sneakers or shoes). Once again, these Gel-Cumulus are extremely lightweight and breathable and they give me a happy little bounce when I walk/run with them.

My husband wears runners a lot and he has tried brands such as Nike and Saucony, both of which makes excellent running shoes. However, since he has switched to Asics, he has never gone back to the other brands because he finds the Asics cushioning technology much more comfortable. He has gone through 2 pairs of Gel-Nimbus and his current pair is a Gel-Kinsei.

I definitely think Asics shoes are a good buy, esp. if you are athletic or if you spend a lot of time on your feet. Asics do go on sale, esp. when the old model is being replaced for a new one. You can buy a nice pair of Asics between $70-100.
