ASICS Heel To Toe Drop Chart [2023 Updated]

If you are a runner, you know how important it is to choose the right shoes for your feet. You want shoes that are comfortable, durable, and suitable for your running style and goals. But how do you know which shoes are the best for you?

One way to find out is to look at the heel to toe drop of the shoes.

Heel to toe drop, also known as heel drop or offset, is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of a shoe. It is measured in millimeters and affects how your foot strikes the ground when you run.

A higher heel drop means that your heel is more elevated than your toes, which can encourage a heel strike. A lower heel drop means that your heel and toes are more level, which can promote a midfoot or forefoot strike.

Different runners may prefer different heel drops depending on their running style, foot anatomy, injury history, and personal preference.

Some runners may even switch between different heel drops depending on the type of run they are doing, such as speed work, long distance, or trail running.

But how do you find out the heel drop of your shoes? And how do you compare different shoes from different brands?

That’s where the ASICS Heel To Toe Drop Chart comes in handy. This chart includes heel drops for ASICS running shoes along with their weight, best usage, and best buying options.

Besides, we also have published a running shoes heel drop chart to compare heel drops from different shoe brands.

ASICS is one of the leading brands in running shoes and offers a wide range of models with different heel drops to suit different runners.

Whether you are looking for a minimalist shoe with a zero drop or a cushioned shoe with a high drop, you can find it in the ASICS Heel Drop Chart.

Why Should You Choose ASICS Running Shoes?

ASICS running shoes have earned a distinguished reputation for several compelling reasons:

1) Unmatched Comfort

When it comes to running shoes, comfort is key. ASICS running shoes are designed with advanced cushioning technologies that provide unmatched comfort for runners.

Here are two of the technologies that make ASICS shoes stand out:

GEL Technology: ASICS is known for its GEL technology, which is a type of cushioning system that helps absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases of running. The GEL technology is located in the heel and forefoot of the shoe, where it helps reduce the force of impact and improve shock absorption. This technology is especially beneficial for runners who experience joint pain or discomfort during their runs.
FlyteFoam Technology: Another technology that makes ASICS shoes comfortable is FlyteFoam. This is a lightweight foam material that is used in the midsole of ASICS shoes. FlyteFoam is designed to provide a responsive and cushioned ride. It’s also durable and can withstand the wear and tear of long-distance running.

ASICS shoes also feature a variety of other comfort-focused features, such as breathable mesh uppers, padded collars and tongues, and removable sock liners. These features help provide a comfortable fit and prevent blisters and hot spots.

Overall, ASICS running shoes are a great choice for runners who prioritize comfort. With advanced cushioning technologies like GEL and FlyteFoam, as well as other comfort-focused features, ASICS shoes provide a comfortable and supportive ride for runners of all levels.

2) Superior Durability

When it comes to running shoes, durability is a key factor to consider. ASICS running shoes are known for their superior durability, which is why they are a popular choice among runners.

High Abrasion Rubber: ASICS uses a High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) in the outsole of their running shoes. This material is designed to withstand the wear and tear of running on different surfaces, making the shoes last longer. The AHAR material also provides excellent traction, which is important for stability and preventing slips and falls.
Trusstic System: This system is a plastic bridge located under the arch of the shoe that helps to stabilize the foot and prevent it from twisting. The Trusstic System also helps to reduce the weight of the shoe without sacrificing durability.

In addition to the AHAR and Trusstic System, ASICS uses high-quality materials in the construction of their shoes. This ensures that the shoes are able to withstand the rigors of running and last for a long time.

Overall, if you are looking for a durable running shoe, ASICS is a great choice. With their use of AHAR and Trusstic System, as well as high-quality materials, you can be confident that your ASICS running shoes will last for many miles to come.

3) Optimal Performance

When it comes to running shoes, ASICS is a brand that runners trust for optimal performance. Here are some reasons why ASICS running shoes are the best for achieving your running goals.

I.G.S Technology: ASICS running shoes are designed with the I.G.S (Impact Guidance System) technology, which is a unique design that helps to enhance your natural gait. The I.G.S technology aligns your foot with your lower leg and helps to guide your foot through each stride. This technology is especially useful for runners who have a tendency to overpronate or supinate.
DuoMax Support System: This system is designed to provide extra support to the midfoot area, which is where most runners need it. The system is made up of a dual-density midsole material that helps to reduce the risk of overpronation and provides a more stable platform for your foot.

In addition to these features, ASICS running shoes are also known for their exceptional cushioning, durability, and breathability. These qualities are essential for runners who want to perform at their best and avoid injuries.

Overall, ASICS running shoes are a great choice for runners who are serious about their performance. With their advanced technology and support systems, ASICS shoes can help you achieve your running goals and stay comfortable while doing it.
