MOST VERSATILE
From a fast 5K to a long, slow jog to a moderate trail run, these shoes do it all. The 2120 has a lighter midsole material than its predecessors, and a solid support system helps both heel and midfoot strikers retain a natural stride while gently correcting overpronation. The women’s last is one of the best for arch fit. 9.1 oz; asicsamerica.com
Bonus: Available in 2A to D widths.
Bummer: Looking for the softest ride? These don’t feel as cushy as others.
