You know that the important premise is to choose the best running shoe that fits your running profile.
ASICS women's shoes with maximum cushioning for running in 2022

As a general rule, this type of models have a highdrop and a very good foam base in their midsoles, which are able to maximize the feeling of running with a good cushioning under the feet. In the specific case of ASICS, materials such as GEL, FlyteFoam (Blast Plus), SpEVA and Amplifoam, among others, are familiar to you. All of them, and many more, contribute to you being able to bring out your best in every workout.
