Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This shoe fits a bit large, especially the forefoot, according to several runners. They recommend going for at least half a size below your usual size. It’s one of these shoes that warrants a trip to the store to be sure.
Yes, this shoe should be suitable for most people. Indeed, it’s a neutral running shoe. Therefore, it aims to suit all athletes independently from their type of pronation. It’s not equipped with stability props to guide the movement of the foot and prevent overpronation. Anyway, there’s no evidence that stability running shoe models are superior to neutral shoes to prevent injury.
Yes, these shoes are suitable independently of your weight. Indeed, although it’s a popular belief that running in cushioned shoes is better if you weigh more than 187 lbs/85 kg, there’s not much proof to support it. Only one research study has determined that minimalist shoes (stack height less than 15 mm) could worsen the risk of injury for runners who weigh more than 157 lbs/71 kg. However, the Asics Dynablast is not a minimalist shoe with its 28 mm heel height, so it should be fine regardless of how much you weigh.
Testers primarily recommend this Asics running shoe for daily training at slow to moderate speeds. However, if you find these shoes comfortable for long runs then there’s no reason not to race in them!
