Assics Running Shoe - recommendations

[New Landy new life]

I recently started running again towards Triathlon training  and wanted advice on which model of Assics would anyone recommend.

 

I have always had good life from Assics and this brand has caused the least discomfort so I want to stick with them.

 

Any good models for mostly tar and a little jeep track type terrain ?

 

Thanks

Do you know what your running style is? pronation, supernation?  Might be worth going to a running shop and letting them advise which you are before you start asking for advice on which shoe.

Good advise from shaper!

Asics is also my brand of choice, and I prefer the Kayano model.

Any suggestions on good running shops in Cape Town that have qualified sales people to advise which shoes to buy...

 The Sweat Shop in Claremont was good when I was there but that was a few years back.

This exactly, the Kinseis and GT series I run in wouldnt suit most people due to them being for over pronation.

asics tri noosa . its a mild pronation/neutral shoe. i love mine and im on my third pair. i use it for everything, trackwork, ironman and also comrades. check it out all the people i know who use it love it. goodluck

I need a stability shoe so generally Kayano for me. Price of them is through the roof these days though.

 

Shaper posted the right info, you need to analyse your particular running pattern and that will determine the shoe.

I see a listing for Gel-Noosa Tri 11 road running shoes for R1, 900 at sportsman's. Same shoe?

My style is very unique due to a weak hip on one side but it is improving the more I run but I eventually start limping after about 11km. (Pins in hip). I do have in steps and a 10mm spacer from a podiatrist to put inside my shoes.

shoed should be the same, every year the number increases, if im not mistaken i think the tri noosa 12 is out but i may be wrong. dont buy from sportsmans they very expensive, my friend bought a pair last month and paid R1400 from a specialist running shop dont know the name but they were somewhere in randburg he was told asics sa are having a special on that shoe at the moment.

Once you know which shoe to go for, you should head on over to Jordan (Access Park) and Footgear (also access park)

 

They generally have older model shoes for sale at pretty darn good prices. Haven't been there recently, but they had good stock levels last time I went. 

 

Also - New Balance clearance store is also there.

Off to sweat shop. They have lot of Assics also and will do assessment
