How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Everyday Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural toe expansion.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics running shoes are engineered for a snug, locked-in feel around the midfoot and heel to ensure maximum stability, with optimal room in the forefoot.
GEL™ Cushioning & Arch Support: Due to structured arch support and GEL™ inserts, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to casual sneakers.
