Asics Shoes

Asics shoes have been producing quality sporting footwear since the 1950s. They started with a basketball shoe, which was widely considered the hardest to make at the time. The first shoes were built and then tested using actual players, then refinements would later be made until the shoes would be ready to be released.

Since then they moved onto other sports, such as marathon running and golf. Today Asics are a very well-known brand, although not many people are aware of what the name means; it’s an acronym of a Latin saying, Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, or a healthy mind in a healthy body’. Which is reasonably fitting for a sports shoe manufacturer. Perhaps the next time you’re putting your running shoes to the test, repeating those words in your head will help you push through the wall!

At Sportitude we sell all types of Asics shoes, everything from trail running shoes to cross-training shoes. They have women’s running shoes and men’s running shoes.

How to choose Asics shoes?

Choosing Asics shoes can be difficult, especially as they make so many different types. But you can narrow it down by focussing on what sport you’re going to play. You can use the filter function on our website, this will limit the number of shoes you’ll be shown. Filtering by category will show you all the shoes that are suitable for that particular sport. For example, if you’re interested in walking shoes, click on that, then you can filter by your size, favourite colour, or the price.

To find the right size of shoes you can take a look at your current pair of shoes. Many manufacturers make their shoes to fit particular dimensions and while they can sometimes differ slightly knowing your current size is a great start. If your current shoes are giving you problems or seem not to last that long it could be you’re wearing the wrong size.

The easiest way to tell for sure is if you’re experiencing pain during sport or exercise:

• Pain in the toe area suggests your shoes are too big and your foot is slipping inside, or too small and you don't have enough room. If the pinching is present before a workout, then your shoes are too small.
• Pain at the sides of your feet means that the shoes are not wide enough, you should select a wide or extra wide shoe.
• Pain on the sole of your feet suggests you need better shock absorption in your shoes. Find a shoe that offers greater insole protection.

If you’re not sure of your size, you can measure your foot from heel to toe, and then add in the width of your thumb; this will give your foot extra room to accommodate it when it swells during a workout. When choosing your shoes have a read of the descriptions as this will give you some idea of what the shoes can do for you.

If you can't find some Asics shoes that appeal to you, you can try looking at other brands we sell. You might find the perfect pair of Brooks, Nike, or Mizuno in our online shop.

What are Asics shoes good for?

Asics shoes can assist you in running, for playing different sports and even support your feet during workouts. They started as a sports shoe company many years ago and have been developing and refining their products ever since. As a brand, Asics shoes are known to make very durable shoes, and they’re built from quality materials. All shoes have a limited lifespan and Asics have shown to last the test of time. Asics offers shoes of different proportions, so if you have a wide foot you can find something that will fit well. The main aim of Asics is to produce shoes that relate to certain sports and to keep you comfortable while doing it.

Can Asics shoes be washed?

Like most footwear, Asics shoes can be washed and they should be cleaned regularly. Muddy and soiled shoes will have a reduced lifespan, so keeping them clean and tidy will lengthen the time between buying new shoes.

Many sports shoes use synthetic material and are very durable, but care should still be taken during the cleaning process otherwise you may end up damaging them. If your shoes have a leather upper, then you may need to use a leather protection product after you’ve finished cleaning them to keep them protected and fresh. If you have many pairs of shoes to clean you should set up a cleaning area and go through them all at the same time, this will keep the task efficient and you’ll be finished before you know it.

The tools you’ll need to properly clean your shoes are a small brush, a bowl of lukewarm water with sensitive laundry detergent, wooden toothpicks, a clean cloth, and some newspaper. Here we have put together a short guide to the cleaning process:

1. Brush down the shoes with a dry brush. Then using water attack any tougher dirt and grass stains. Be careful not to press hard as this can damage the upper. Start with the sole and work your way up.
2. Use the toothpicks to get out any dirt that is stuck in the grooves of the tread.
3. After you’ve finished cleaning them dry them with the cloth, then ball up some newspaper and put it in the shoes. This will help absorb any leftover moisture and help maintain their shape.
4. Place the shoes in a warm place inside to dry thoroughly, avoid putting them in direct sunlight as it may warp the sole and stain the upper.
