Continuing the tradition of the Asics Gel -1000 Series comes the Gel 1160, a hugely popular and great value running shoe and the first port of call for someone starting to get serious about their running.
The 1160 is a great option for the slight to moderate over-pronator, and provides a fantastic option for athletes who may be on a budget or have not had the luxury of wearing top-end running shoes.
Features include rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning - which attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases - and the soft ride and bounce-back of a SpEVA midsole.
Asics' Duomax Support provides a dual-density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability.
Their Trusstic System reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.

Asics: How it all Began
Anima Sana in Corpore Sano so the saying goes in Latin – or as it translates into English: ‘healthy soul in a healthy body.’
That’s where the Asics’ name derived from, and the acronym is now recognised throughout the world, helping the company to rank amongst the top performance sports footwear manufacturers on the market today.
Their distinctive crossed stripes are recognised by sports enthusiasts everywhere, and have been sported by top athletes and Olympians for decades.
From origins in Kobe, Japan, more than 60 years ago, Asics’ athletic and running shoes have long graced the world stage, and have now been joined by specialist footwear for disciplines as far ranging as football, tennis, squash, badminton and wrestling.
Over the years Asics have become a household name in Britain thanks to sponsorship of Premiership football clubs including Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle. They are currently official suppliers to the Australian cricket team.
