10 Comfortables Asics Shoes for Walking That Are Stylish Too
10 Best Asics Shoes for Walking
Harper's BAZAAR Editor wears ASICS Gel-1130
"Full disclosure: I’m notorious for dragging my sneakers into their retirement years. So slipping into a fresh pair was like a revelation," says Bazaar contributor Moriah Polk. "The Gel-1130 is a game-changer—the firm cushioning under my arches helps avoid underpronation, while the breathable mesh keeps things cool. Admittedly, the toe box is a bit snug, but since I’ve got narrow feet, these shoes fit like a glove."
Harper's BAZAAR Editor wears ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1
“I’ve been looking for a sneaker that can put in the miles without looking like it’s been swiped from a marathon training starter pack,” says Bazaar fashion commerce editor Michella Oré. “My first thought when I unboxed the Gel-Nimbus was that the black and silver colorway looks insanely cool, sort of futuristic and nostalgic at once. When I started wearing them, I was surprised by how supported my feet felt after hours of walking around the city—the slim profile might signal otherwise, but the insole is extremely cushy while the mesh uppers feel soft against my toes and keep them nice and cool under the unrelenting heat waves."
ASICS Gel-NYC
“I’m finicky about my sneakers, but the Gel-NYC works for me,” says digital director Izzy Grinspan. “I took them out of the box, put them on my feet, and went directly to a full day of walking around Manhattan—where I completely forgot I was wearing new shoes, because that’s how comfortable they were. The muted colors make them easy to style; they’re cute with bike shorts for the weekend or with jeans during the week. Highly recommend if you need a good pair of running-around shoes.”
