Footwear - Fit
At ASICS we believe that comfort and performance are inextricably linked. As such we try to build the most comfortable shoes possible in the hope that those wearing them will attain their best performance. Primarily, ASICS ensures a shoe is comfortable by producing footwear that aims to achieve the perfect fit. For this reason, our shoes are designed and built with componentry that allows the shoe to customise itself to the shape of the individual wearer. These technologies are mostly present in the upper of the shoe and aim to limit unwanted in-shoe movement, reduce friction and even out tension across the surface of the foot.
