Asics EvoRide™ (1) Review Summary

A reliable, durable & relatively affordable neutral everyday running shoe that is in line with Asics' evolving philosophy around designing running shoes for modern-day runners.

Can be used for slow & easy or relatively faster running days but if you want that 'fast' feeling or a shoe that really 'pops', this might disappoint you. Perhaps consider shoes with a carbon plate. Naturally then, for me, this is not an ideal racing shoe (for runners who use different shoes for different types of runs 😅).

The 'rocker' design (designed to encourage efficient rather than fast running) works predictably but isn't very helpful in climbing hills and is not as pronounced (or effective) as in the Asics GlideRide (models 1 to 3).

Low level of responsiveness (relatively 'flat'), adequate cushioning for slightly above half-marathon distances and stable running platform. Good for most types of weather one would experience in S.A. I would recommend half a size up to allow for the slight swelling of the feet during exercise.

PS: Carbon-plated options for Asics include the Metaspeed Sky+ or Edge, Metaracer or Magic Speed. For those who rotate shoes, the Magic Speed would make sense (financially) as a speed training shoe whereas the other 2 are designed as racing shoes.

PPS: The EvoRide has two more recent models (2 and 3).
