Experts recommend that you change your running shoes after every 300-500 miles of use. This is good advice. The cushioning in the shoes can only take so much abuse and it will compress so that it loses it's ability to absorb the shock of several times your body weight on each step.
ASICS is the technology leader in running shoes. ASICS GEL Shoes have been awarded the "Shoe of the Year" by Runners World magazine for the second consecutive year and for the fourth time in the five years that the award has been granted.
You may not think of your running shoes as high-tech sports equipment, but it is. ASICS has the advanced the technology so that its GEL running shoes can adapt themselves to the subtle differences between a woman's and man's gait and provide the proper support where and as needed.
Here is a description of the discrete ASICS technology:
Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) (RUNNING)
ASICS® Design Philosophy.
Employs linked componentry that enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
Guidance Line™ Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
Discrete Heel Unit Takes the Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) to a new level by creating our highest degree of shock attenuation and stability.
Space Trusstic System® This midfoot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole, allowing for controlled midsole deformation and more efficient foot function.
ComforDry™ Sockliner Provides cushioning performance and anti-microbial properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment.
Asymmetrical Lacing Design An anatomically correct lacing environment that reduces potential for irritation and provides improved comfort and fit.
DuoMax® Support System A dual density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability, positioned sport specifically.
