I hope this has answered some of your questions. asics fuzex rush I hope it has helped some of the other bloggers out there to understand that we are not the great evil, and we put a huge amount of time effort and money into trying to make running a safer sport for everyone. That is my one and only goal. Farnkly. I really never go into any project thinking "how many pairs of shoes will this sell" you might not believe that but it really is true sales just  aint my bag regards SimonWhere is your evidence that "it" isn't broken? Show me a study that show running injuries decreasing because of "20 years of progressive development." You can't.

Luckily there are companies such as Merrell, Saucony, New Balance, and Nike (sort of) who are trying to "fix" it by offering more and more "minimalist" shoe choices. asics gel lyte v mens Will Asics follow suit (a couple of old shoe styles don't really count)? For your livelihoods sake I hope so.Maybe this debate comes down to each individual or company's definition of "progressive". You may feel that Asics is progressive because the running shoe line is "updated" regularly. It seems asics gel lyte womens to me that the updates are driven more by marketing than science. That is my opinion as a consumer.

I won't buy Asics shoes because I feel that Asics is maintaining the status quo (e.g., lots of cushioning, pronation control devices) and, in my opinion, maintaining the status quo seems to be directly at odds with the idea of progressive development.Simon- you are very right about a study not being out there. We who coined the term  Zero Drop' (Altra Footwear) feel like more research should be done on this. I totally agree with you that this asics gel nimbus 20 mens is nearly impossible though. Like you said: "Many in these blogs have demanded a study proving conventional fotwear reduces injury rates.

Well you sound like a guy with a scientific background, so maybe you can explain to the punters on this blog just how dificult it would be, if not impossible to design a meaningful study to ask that scientific question. If i put mY ASICS hat on, I would LOVE to do that study really, really interested in the answer, good or bad for the ASICS brand but how do i or you control all the variables this study would throw up."

So, after reading the comments of Simon Bartold I am adding this brand to the increasing list of shoe brands I will never buy. Thanks for the awesome post Pete. Once again you have put forth a well thought out and supported rebuttal to an extremely biased comment made by another "the world is square!" shoe company leader. It continues to amaze me that a shoe company would allow an employee of theirs to alienate an entire group of consumers. Wow.

Will this group of runners be more or less likely to purchase a pair asics gel nimbus 20 review of Asics running shoes after reading his polarizing comments? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just asking an honest question.I've been running in ASICS GT 2150 since about Jan 1. In that time I've gone from running 30 seconds and then walking, to running 13-15 miles comfortably. To be honest, I bought the 2150s because the sporting goods store had them in a EEEE width, and knowing that my forefoot tends to splay and expand a lot on impact, I always go with a shoe wider than my foot measures. (Never one blister for me in the 2150).
