Get the Perfect Fit with the ASICS Shoe Selector

Finding the right running shoes can be a daunting task, but with the help of the ASICS Shoe Selector, you can narrow down your options and find the perfect pair for your needs. This innovative online tool uses a series of questions to determine your foot type, running style, and other factors that can affect your shoe choice.

Choose the Right Shoe for Your Foot Type

The ASICS Shoe Selector starts by asking you about your foot type. Are you a neutral runner, an overpronator, or an underpronator? Neutral runners have a balanced foot strike, while overpronators roll their feet inward too much, and underpronators roll their feet outward too much. Knowing your foot type is essential for choosing a shoe that provides the right support and cushioning.

Consider Your Running Style

Once you know your foot type, the ASICS Shoe Selector asks about your running style. Are you a heel striker, a midfoot striker, or a forefoot striker? Heel strikers land on their heels first, midfoot strikers land on the middle of their feet, and forefoot strikers land on the balls of their feet. Your running style can also affect your shoe choice.

Find the Perfect Fit

In addition to your foot type and running style, the ASICS Shoe Selector also asks about your weight, height, and running experience. This information helps to determine the right size and cushioning level for your shoes. Once you have answered all of the questions, the ASICS Shoe Selector will provide you with a list of recommended shoes that meet your specific needs.
