ASICS GEL Evolution 5 review
The ASICS GEL-Evolution 5 is the main model in the ASICS Maximum Support category. The ASICS Gel Evolution 5 provides exceptional stability for the severe over pronator as well as a comfortable ride. The same running shoe technologies from previous versions of this motion control running shoe have been reused, while the upper has been redesigned to deliver comfort and support.
The ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is one of two motion control running shoes offered by ASICS. The other ASICS motion control running shoe is theASICS Gel Foundation.
ASICS Gel Evolution 5 comes in models for both men and women. This article discusses the women’s ASICS motion control running shoe.
The new and upgraded version of the ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is the ASICS Gel Evolution 6.
The ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is a maximum support running shoe that is built for runners who are severe over-pronators. The midsole of the ASICS Gel Evolution 5 consists of the DuoMax Support System, which does not interfere with your gait cycle or toe-off running phase.
The ASICS Gel Evolution 5 has been built around making your runs comfortable by enhancing your foot’s natural gait, and accommodating your foot to function efficiently through midsole deformation.
One thing worth mentioning about the ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is that it has a piece of foam in the heel collar that molds to your heel, thereby creating a more personalized fit. ASICS call this P.H.F. or Personal Heel Fit.
The ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is a sneaker that weighs approximately 11.0 oz (312 grams), which is heavier than the ASICS Gel Foundation 9, but lighter than the Brooks Ariel when you compare motion control running shoes by weight.
The suggested retail price of the ASICS Gel Evolution 5 is approximately US$10 less than that of the Brooks Ariel, so comparable to the retail price of the New Balance 1011 when you compare motion control running shoes by price.
