asics white Chaussures Piste Hypersprint 7 | asics white asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes review

We recommend the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes as an excellent choice for:

• asics white Road Neutral Ankle Single Tab Socken
• la concept shoe di asics white diventa di serie
• Жіночі кросівки asics white gel-kayano trainer evo
• Casual runners who want a general fitness shoe that won't break the bank

With its relatively high drop and lack of cushioning at the forefoot, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes is more conducive to heel striking. The Adidas Adizero SL is a fairly priced alternative that better suits a forefoot striking stride.  

While asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's AMPLIFOAM midsole feels comfy enough for easier, low-intensity runs, it lacks the responsiveness needed to support speedier sessions. Runners looking for a better tempo trainer should consider upping their budget and looking at an alternative like the Оригинал asics white gel-nimbus 23 женские кроссовки для бега. 

We also found the shoe's cushioning a little lacking when it comes to long-distance running. The Brooks Launch 10 and the Farbtechnisch bietet asics white derzeit einen are true mile gobblers that kept us going as long as we had gas in the tank. 

While the gel insert at the heel does help with stable landings, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes isn't supportive enough for overpronators who should look into a stability shoe like the limited edt x asics white singapore 50 anniversary to avoid injury over time. 

At 32 mm thick according to our caliper measurements, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's heel stack falls in line with our current lab average. This amount of foam underfoot is enough to keep our heels feeling well-protected and allows us to sink into and savor the midsole cushioning. 

The asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes also features a little gel insert at the lateral side of the heel which is a little firmer than the midsole foam. This means that our initial contact with the ground when heel-striking doesn't feel very squishy, giving our landings a well-baffled and stable sensation. 

We measured the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's stack to be 22.3 mm thick at the forefoot which is just a little shy of our current lab average. This is also enough foam underfoot to protect our foot from impact while still allowing for a good amount of ground feel as we tested the shoe. 

Forefoot striking runners who prefer having more foam at the forefoot for better-cushioned landings, especially for long-distance efforts, we recommend looking into the Farbtechnisch bietet asics white derzeit einen as a similarly priced alternative. 

asics white rarely lets us down with their accurate heel drop measurements as, according to our stack measurements, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes only deviates 0.3 mm away from the official figure of 10 mm. Seriously, take a look at this article that explores all the inaccuracies we've found in the lab with brand-stated drop heights. 

A drop of 9.7 mm puts the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes in the category of high-drop shoes which generally work better for heel-striking runners and those with lower leg injuries or issues. Forefoot strikers looking for a shoe that better suits their stride should look into the mid/low drop Saucony Kinvara 14 instead.

For those looking to learn more about the pros and cons of different drop heights, we have another article that sheds light on the matter. 

We pressed our durometer against the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's AMPLIFOAM midsole and got a reading of 22.5 HA. This is about as soft as our current lab average and gives our landings a soft and protective touch that feels great for low-intensity runs. 

It wouldn't be fair to describe the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's midsole as dull; however, we found that it certainly lacks the snappiness or energy return to be an efficient tempo trainer. It's geared more towards comfort than performance. The shoe's speedy cousin, the Оригинал asics white gel-nimbus 23 женские кроссовки для бега utilizes the brand's more reactive (and more premium) FF Blast+ ECO foam that is much more conducive to high-paced running. 

While the aforementioned gel insert at the heel feels firmer underfoot during rearfoot landings, there's a subtle yet satisfying squish as our weight shifts to the foam at the forefoot. This feature will help promote more stable landings for heel strikers, though it doesn't do much to mitigate overpronation as we'll explore later. 

For what it lacks in responsiveness, the AMPLIFOAM midsole makes up for it with an incredibly consistent performance in our freezer test. After chilling with our tubs of ice cream for twenty minutes, we took another durometer reading of the midsole and found that it only got 12.4% firmer with a result of 25.3 HA. This means that the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes should still provide a balanced level of cushioning that is forgiving on the foot no matter how frigid it gets out there. 

Using our caliper, we measured the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's Ortholite insole to be 5 mm thick which is within the average range for road shoes. This leaves us with a nice and cushy footbed that also provides a fair amount of arch support during our test runs. 

While the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes felt fairly steady on the ground as we tested it, we don't recommend it to those with severely overpronating strides. It just doesn't have the corrective stability features that promote a more neutral stride and help prevent injuries like the Зимние кроссовки на мехуasics white gel lite 3 or the asics white Gel-kayano 5 Reconstructed Birch Sand Purple Floral. 

We faced an average amount of resistance as we bent a twisted the shoe in our hands, leading us to give it a middle-of-the-road torsional rigidity score of 3 out of 5 on our subjective scale. This presents us with a good mix of balance and comfort as the shoe is able to match the contortions of our foot to a certain extent while maintaining an adequately level base for stable landings. 

The heel counter is quite stiff, earning a score of 4 out of 5 in our manual assessment. As such, the shoe does a good job of holding our heel in place while still having a bit of give to allow for some natural lateral movements of our foot. in this way, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes keeps our rearfoot locked in without putting too much uncomfortable pressure on our ankles and tendons. 

Using our caliper, we measured the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's midsole to be 114 mm wide at the forefoot.

This is on par with our current lab average and gives us a broad enough platform that we felt stable from landing to toe-off without the shoe feeling overly blocky on corners. 

Back at the heel, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's midsole is just shy of our average at 87.8 mm wide. This is still broad enough and means that heel-strikers should enjoy landings just as stable as their forefoot-striking counterparts. 

After securing the shoe to our workbench, we used our force gauge to find that 16.6N of force is needed to bend the shoe 90 degrees. This makes the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes much more flexible than the average road shoe and means that it is able to conform with the natural flexion of our foot with relative ease. This is excellent for a daily trainer, especially one that's more comfort-oriented, as it feels incredibly forgiving on our foot as we test the shoe. 

As with the midsole, we repeated our flex test after leaving the shoe to chill in our freezer for twenty minutes. We were similarly impressed by the shoe's performance in this test as it only became 11.4% stiffer, making it much more consistent than average in terms of flexibility too. In fact, with only 18.5N needed to bend the cold shoe, the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes is still more flexible than the average road shoe at room temperature. As such the shoe will feel just as comfy and forgiving on the foot as the mercury drops in the winter. 

Which brings us to the weigh-in. The asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes tips our scale at a heavier-than-average 10.4 oz (296g). However, this isn't unreasonably heavy for a daily trainer and we were able to get through our low-intensity sessions quite comfortably. It does, among other factors, make the shoe a less-than-ideal choice for speedy sessions or long distances. 

This chunky disposition is, no doubt thanks to the beefy outsole as well as the generously padded interior. The asics white Mens Seamless Styles & Performance Underwear is a similarly priced shoe that's also comfy but about 1 oz lighter, while the much more expensive asics white Superblast weighs in under 9 oz despite a much beefier stack.   

To test the breathability of the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes, we pumped it full of smoke to see how easily it escapes the upper. After quite a while of smoke only filtering through the tongue somewhat steadily, it eventually filters through the rest of the upper in a slow, pathetic haze. This leads us to give the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes a so-so score of 3 out of 5. This level of ventilation is adequate for cooler days or evenings and helps the shoe avoid developing a musty odor after some runs. That said, it will still feel quite stuffy during hot summer days. 

The asics white Chaussures Piste Hypersprint 7, on the other hand, is a smoke show that aces this test and is much better suited to blusteringly warm sessions. 

While light is able to peek through the little perforations that dot the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's upper, the shoe's cross-section blocks out most of our backlight. This certainly helps to illuminate the shoe's lackluster breathability but we turn to our microscope for a closer look. 

As we can see from our closeup image of the jacquard mesh, the dense network of feather-like braids doesn't have many gaps to promote airflow. Even the "perforated" areas only open up to a slightly less dense inner layer of mesh. This explains the smoke's delayed ability to escape in our previous test. For a better warm-weather companion, we recommend checking out the asics white Jolt 4 instead. 

To simulate extreme wear and tear, we subject the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes to several thrashings from our dreadful Dremel, starting with the toebox. We set the abrasive element, spinning at 5K RPM, onto it with 3.2N of force. 

Within the short four seconds, our tool managed to successfully mince clean through the jacquard mesh and left quite a large crater in its wake. While this earns the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes a 1 out of 5 for toebox durability, this result isn't out of the ordinary for road shoes that aren't built for strength and shouldn't be an issue with normal use.

We do recommend steering clear of highly wooded areas in this shoe, however, as one unlucky snag could send the shoe to an early retirement. 

Next, we turned our attention to the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's heel collar, and, much to our surprise, it held up extremely well to our Dremel. 

After another four seconds of grinding, we were left with a barely noticeable scuff on the lining. This performance earns the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes a well-deserved 5 out of 5 in this assessment and means that no amount of heel rubs, even if going sockless, will compromise the shoe's rearfoot comfort and lockdown. 

We pressed our durometer against the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's AHARPLUS outsole and got a harder-than-average reading of 86.5 HC. While a harder rubber usually indicates better durability, we've learned to reserve judgment until our Dremel makes its dreaded appearance. 

ASICS' AHARPLUS rubber compound is renowned not just for its excellent traction, but for reportedly having about 3x the abrasive resistance of conventional rubber. As such, we were surprised with the outsole's very average performance in our test. 

After withstanding twenty-two seconds of our tool's abrasive element spinning at 10K RPM, we used a tire tread gauge to measure the indentation left behind to be 0.9 mm deep. This puts the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's outsole on par with our current lab average which isn't bad and means the shoe should last a good 400 to 500 miles of use. We just expected more from the AHARPLUS rubber compound. 

The asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's outsole is significantly thicker than average at 4.5 mm thick according to our caliper measurements. While this does give us some more material underfoot to wear through which is good in terms of the shoe's longevity, it doesn't do the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes any favors in the weight department. 

The wavy outsole tread pattern provides us with excellent traction over a variety of surfaces while testing this shoe. Even hitting slick patches was no obstacle for the AHARPLUS rubber which redeems itself with its grippiness after a forgettable performance in our durability test.

With no reflective elements to be found on the shoe, we don't recommend running along dimly lit roads at night without any additional high-vis gear. 

We measured the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's tongue to be 5 mm thick which is right around the current lab average. This feels pretty comfy across our instep and does a pretty good job of protecting us from lace bite during testing.

The tongue isn't gusseted, though we didn't really face any issues with it slipping to the side while we tested the asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes. 

The shoe's heel collar extends upwards to form a little tab that not only makes sliding the shoe on a little easier but looks pretty snazzy too. 

The asics white gel kayano 23 thunder blue safety yellow indigo blue mens shoes's insole is easy to remove so replacing it with an aftermarket alternative or a custom orthotic is possible if necessary.
