Asics Gel-1170 is RW Best Buy

Asics Gel 1170 is the Runner’s World Best Buy for Winter 2011. Out of the outstanding comfort and ride of the previous series of Asics Gel-1000, come’s the best shoe ever. The Asics Gel-1170 re-engineered footwear on its upper part to enhance the fit, creating it as a model training shoe for runners.

Shoe review of the Asics Gel 1170 from Runner’s World says, “This standout trainer delivers a terrific combination of value and comfort. In this update, Asics tinkered with the outsole a bit, reshaping the shank and adding a wedge of firm foam in the midsole to buttress the arch and help rein in overpronation—but otherwise left it alone. And why mess with success? RW Shoe Lab tests, and most of our testers, agree that it’s a well-balanced shoe—sufficiently soft for heel-and midfoot-strikers but not mushy—and a great choice for long training runs and marathons.”
