April 28, 2026If you’re looking for a good running shoe that offers performance and comfort for all-day wear, ASICS is a brand that is often talked about. It’s been a go-to shoe brand for Australian runners for decades, and with good reason. From running your fastest times to slow, meditative runs around your local park, or even just a shoe that will keep you comfortable on a long day at work, ASICS has a women’s shoe for that.
So if you are looking for the top-rated ASICS shoes for men, here are some of the best we’ve seen so far.
ASICS Gel-Kayano 31
The Gel-Kayano is one of the shoes that has stood the test of time, and the 31st iteration is possibly the best. The Gel-Kayano is a stability shoe designed for women prone to overpronation or for those who just need a little extra support on longer runs.
It’s the design of the FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning and the PureGEL heel that really make it special. The PureGEL cushioning provides a softer landing for each stride. The LYTE TRUSS system in the midfoot helps to maintain good foot alignment, which is important over 15 or 20 kilometres. If you are training for a race, the Kayano 31 is a reliable every day shoe that won’t cause leg or joint fatigue.
The upper has also gone through an overhaul to a softer, more breathable upper, which is important for the Australian summer.
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26
If you’re looking for the best in cushioning and a top-notch feel, the Gel-Nimbus 26 is a strong choice. It’s ASICS’ most elite neutral shoe and it offers a cushioned, airy feel that is ideal for long distances.
The shoe’s midsole is loaded with FF BLAST PLUS cushioning to provide a cushioned feel and soft transition through the midsole. The Nimbus 26 also doesn’t feel slow or bulky despite being so soft.
The shoe has a spacious fit, allowing room for your feet to swell, and a mesh upper to keep you cool and dry in warmer weather. The Nimbus 26 is a great choice if you often run longer distances (more than 10 kilometres) or stand/walk on hard surfaces for long periods.
ASICS GT-2000 13
Not all runners need a maximally supportive and cushioned shoe. The GT-2000 13 is the perfect shoe for women seeking stability and comfort for everyday training without going too soft or too bulky. The shoe is a light-weight stability shoe with just enough support to keep your foot moving in the right way but not to feel too constraining.
The responsive FF BLAST midsole cushioning offers a lively feel for faster workouts and a comfortable feel for recovery runs. The upper is lightweight and snug, not too bulky to get in the way. This is a great ASICS for Australian women who run at different speeds and distances.
ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27
The Gel-Cumulus has long been popular with neutral runners seeking a versatile trainer. The 27th iteration builds on the already impressive shoe, with better cushioning and a softer surface than before.
It offers less cushioning than the Nimbus, and more than the GT-2000, which makes it a great option for women who feel the Nimbus is too squishy, but need more cushioning than a lightweight trainer can offer. The heel’s PureGEL offers a nice heel strike, while the breathable knitted upper provides a comfortable fit with no pressure points.
ASICS Novablast 5
If you’re after something with a little more pep, the Novablast 5 is a playful lightweight shoe. It has FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, which is quite springy and makes tempo runs and shorter distances easy and enjoyable.
It is not a stability running shoe, making it ideal for neutral runners. But it compensates for its lack of support by providing comfort. The sole’s rocker profile promotes a smooth forward roll during the running cycle, and the stack provides good protection for running on tarmac and concrete.
Finding the Right Fit
When it comes to deciding on one of these best ASICS running shoes for women, it largely boils down to your biomechanics, running distance and cushioning needs. Overpronators should start with the Kayano or GT-2000. If you are a neutral runner, and want comfort for long runs, the Nimbus or Cumulus are great options. For quicker training, the Novablast is also a good option.
