The shoe has a good feature set and low-risk choices for a decent performing daily trainer. The upper is comfortable, unlike other budget-conscious shoes,and the sole is fairly durable. We’ve spent seven decades making the best trainers for women – so we know exactly what it takes to build a pair you can depend on, stride after stride after stride.

The Contend 5 doesn’t boast the kind of tech to cause World Athletics any headaches, and ASICS make the fairly understated promise that their AmpliFoam midsole, ‘supportive fit’ and ‘breathable athletic mesh’ will keep you ‘cosy and cushioned every step of the way’. The guidance of the Flux provided a smooth transition, and made me feel like I had a more efficient stride. A vertical flex groove along the midfoot significantly opens up your stride for maximum efficiency in each energy shift.As a runner with extremely flat feet, I noticed the light underfoot cushioning. The molded foam insole gave structure to my almost non-existent arch, and was extremely comfortable without being too plush. Overall, the Gel Pulse 13 is a good shoe that delivers what it promises: a reliable and comfortable ride at a reasonable price. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. The toebox area is the most breathable with a mesh fabric going around the front of the shoe to the sides. The material transitions into what I would call a poor choice in fabric design. This fabric patch style resembles rejected army camo, and take away from the look of the shoe while also providing almost no function. Maybe this is where the “flux” comes from since the side fabric is pretty inconsistent? I can’t get too disappointed at the fabric styles, since the rest of the upper comes together pretty well.

ASICS women’s running shoes are trusted by millions of female runners around the world, not to mention professional distance runners like Emma Bates or Denna Kastor. So you’ll be running in good company.

I was a little underwhelmed putting these shoes on for my first run, but they stood up well on the 10 miler and seemed to fit in well with the Asics family. I just wanted to learn more about how they compared to the other Asics shoes, and if they were really worth it. Asics Gel Flux 5 Sole UnitOver our seven decades designing sports shoes , we have developed numerous technologies that make our running shoes unique. I was extremely impressed with the ASICS Flux model. Although seen as the “budget friendly” version of the ASICS Guidance Line in comparison to the Nimbus and Cumulus, I noticed only slight differences. TRUSSTIC SYSTEM®: Mono-density arch support located on the mid-foot, this system guides the foot while respecting its natural motion. It ensures stability at the point of impact and guides the foot as you step. I liked that the upper was both breathable and lightweight, but gave slight structure with the synthetic overlays.

Among the many innovations in ASICS trainers are our GEL™ technology, which offers a unique cushioning to protect your feet and joints from the impact of running. Unlike other brands that rely on foam (easily damaged) or air (prone to leakage), GEL™ offers long lasting cushioning and superior protection for your joints.

This groove follows the pressure centre of the foot from the heel to the toes whilst you run, to help you adopt an efficient stride. The shoe’s trussic system additionally enhances gait efficiency, and provided structural integrity and support during my run.
