Asics | Men’s GT-1000 11 Running Shoes – Black

Advice for Road Runners: The Asics Men’s GT-1000 11 Running Shoes in the Black/Island Blue colourway have benefitted from a few key updates from the previous version, but remain a great option for runners needing a degree of stability. 

Underfoot Feel

The Flytefoam midsole is of a slightly lower density than before. This, together with the Gel cushioning in the heel ensures landings feel softer. When coupled with the revised outsole design featuring increased flex grooves, transitions from heel to toe feel smooth and controlled. 

Additional stability is delivered through the introduction of a LITETRUSS system. This incorporates denser foam on the medial side of the shoe and provides a smoother feel than before.

Upper Fit

The engineered mesh upper provides excellent breathability and is designed to wrap the foot in plush comfort. An external heel counter hugs the heel for a secure and supportive feel and improves rearfoot stability.

Ideal Run Type

The Asics Men’s GT-1000 11 Running Shoes are an excellent option for runners who want a responsive feel from their shoes but who may benefit from some additional stability around the foot and ankle. The shoes will perform well across a variety of paces.

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
