Make New York Post a Preferred Source New York Post Composite So, you hate running? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
There may not be much research to prove it, but anecdotally speaking, I’d argue there are plenty of people (myself included) who want to get in cardio but don’t always have the motivation to push themselves to go for a run.
Well — what if your running shoes could give you that extra push? Enter ASICS. Content Strategist and Commerce Journalist Victoria McConnell says her ASICS running shoes are “inspiring her” to run for several reasons. And considering these kicks have dropped below $75 for October Prime Day, we’re also feeling inspired to run, not walk, and snag the sale before it ends tonight.
She owns the Gel-Excite 11 and says its bounce is incredible — and so is the comfort. According to the brand, the sneakers feature soft cushioning and shock-attenuating GEL technology for added support.
“I’m not a marathon runner by any means, but my new kicks are inspiring me,” McConnell shared.
McConnell says her ASICS sneakers have become her go-to everyday shoes. While she doesn’t consider herself a runner, she says the comfort of the shoes has motivated her to get outside more often.
“I love wearing them on walks in my neighborhood, and they’re one of the comfiest and most supportive sneakers I own,” she noted.
She also appreciates that they don’t feel overly bulky while still delivering an energized, springy feel: “I love how I have a pep in my step with them (the perfect bounce-back), and they’re not too clunky.”
And she’s not the only one taking notice. Other reviewers have mentioned their ASICS make running “so much more enjoyable,” plus the versatile design makes them equally suited for neighborhood walks and hopping between errands, too.
Have a pair of the latest New Balance FuelCells (which are trusted by serious runners), and I can’t believe how springy they feel — and how good they look while doing it
These lightweight athletic shoes will make you feel like you’re running on clouds. Shoppers say they’re extremely breathable, too.
Slip-on style makes for easy wear. Optimal cushioning ensures your feet are safe and protected as they strike the ground. Reviewers say they stack up to more expensive brands.
