"One of the Cadillacs of Asics shoes and all shoes," Podiatrist Mark Mendeszoon, DPM, previously told Men's Health. "This shoe provides high cushioning and stability along with optimal shock absorption and arch support.

What sets Asics apart from competitors like Hoka is its iconic gel technology. What is that? It's a proprietary foam in the heel that absorbs absorbs impact. This makes it deal for walkers whose feet tend to overpronate (roll inward).

For those seeking a comfortable and stable running shoe for logging a lot of miles in, you can’t go wrong with the Asics Gel-Kayano 30, which has been reduced to under $100 for the women’s shoe, while the Asics Gel-Contend 8 is a great option for newer runners that’s just $54 in the sale.
