ASICS Men's GEL-Evolution 5 Running Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a "Clydesdale" (over 200 lb.) runner with chronic shin splint problems stemming from over-pronation (foot rolling inwards, or flat feet). I usually buy Asics 2130's and have gone through at least 10 pairs in the last few years. This is my first time trying this GEL-Evolution 5 shoe.

After two five-mile runs I can confirm that these GEL-Evolution 5's are great and will hold off the shin splints for many more miles than other shoes I've tried. These shoes feel very hard compared to other shoes and I worried this would be a problem but after two miles I noticed that the usual onset of lower leg pain was just not happening. The subsequent three miles of the run went great and I found I was able to increase my pace over the end of the run.

Padding under the front is firm. Padding under the heel is very solid. As you land the foot plants and there is no wiggle as your weight loads onto the planted foot. This is good for the knees and great for the lower shins.

If you are a light person you may find these shoes to be too hard.

Product Description:
The GEL-Evolution 5, the flagship model in the ASICS Maximum Support category, provides exceptional stability for the severe over pronator without blocking the foot's natural transition from heel strike to toe-off. The tooling from the previous version carries over, while a new upper design delivers comfort and support.
