Women's running shoes Asics
Our selection of Asics for women brings together the running shoes from the Japanese brand in their female versions: stable models, highly cushioned, bouncy or competition-ready, designed for the feet and stride of female runners, whether on road or trail.
The running Asics, designed for female runners.
Shoes Designed for Women
The women's versions of Asics shoes are not just scaled-down versions of the men's models. On average, women's feet are narrower, particularly at the heel, and female runners, who tend to be lighter on average, don't apply the same pressure to the sole. Asics therefore adjusts the shape, heel support, and cushioning firmness to these differences, based on the studies conducted at its research institute in Japan. The colours and finishes also reflect the preferences of female runners.

From Your First Jog to the Marathon
To start, a versatile and well-cushioned shoe like the Gel-Cumulus is ideal for your first runs and regular jogging. For runners with pronation, the Gel-Kayano provides arch support. For long runs and training for a half or full marathon, the Gel-Nimbus, which has great cushioning, protects the joints. For quick sessions, the Novablast, which has a bouncy feel, adds dynamism. Each model comes in various colours.
Choosing the Right Size
A running shoe should be chosen with about a centimetre of space in front of the big toe, as the foot swells and slides forward during exercise, especially downhill. It's best to try them on at the end of the day, wearing running socks. The heel should be secure without slipping, and the front of the foot should feel comfortable. For runs in the cold, a suitable outfit completes the gear. The shoes should be replaced after several hundred kilometres, when the cushioning starts to break down.
Good Deals
Great deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and sent out in 24 hours. Key events throughout the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the festive season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and the back-to-school season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a woman run in a men's Asics?
It's possible if the fit is right, but the women's version has a narrower heel and cushioning adjusted for a lighter average weight. A runner with a narrow foot benefits from better support and avoids rubbing at the heel.
Which Asics to choose for preparing for a first half-marathon?
For a first half, opt for a well-cushioned model that's comfortable over long periods rather than a racing model. It can handle the long training runs and reduces muscle fatigue at the end of the race.
What running shoe is best for a woman with broad feet?
Choose a model with a spacious forefoot and a soft upper, and try it on at the end of the day. Some Asics models come in wide widths, preventing toe compression over long distances.
How to prevent blisters while running?
Wear technical socks that are cotton-free and the right size, and leave a centimetre of space in front of your toes. Give a new pair time to break in, starting with short runs before going for longer distances.
Is a different shoe needed for trail running?
On technical trails, a trail shoe offers a grippy outsole that bites into the ground and protects against stones. For smooth paths and parks, a versatile road shoe is often sufficient.
