At WSS, we've been lacing up families since 1984, and few brands have earned their place in the neighborhood like ASICS. Whether you're grinding through early morning miles or just need a reliable pair of new running shoes, ASICS has engineered sneakers that go the distance.

WSS is your neighborhood shoe store. And these are the ASICS shoes your block deserves.

The ASICS Legacy: Built for the Long Run

ASICS was founded in Japan in 1949 on a simple but powerful belief: Anima Sana In Corpore Sano (a sound mind in a sound body). That philosophy is baked into every pair of ASICS shoes ever made.

Decades later, the same commitment drives the lineup you'll find at WSS. From the Gel-Contend to the Gel-Nimbus to the GT-1000, the collection of shoes ASICS builds covers everything from first-time runners to serious long-distance athletes, plus everyone in between.

ASICS Running Shoe Technology That Goes the Distance

Performance shouldn't be a luxury. The engineering behind every ASICS shoe is built to protect you, propel you, and keep you moving no matter what.

Here's what makes the technology stand out:

• GEL Cushioning: Absorbs shock at impact and toe-off to protect your joints from the repetitive stress of every stride

• FlyteFoam Midsole: An ultra-lightweight foam that returns energy without weighing you down, so you feel fresh longer

• TRUSSTIC System: Reinforces the arch zone for added stability to reduce fatigue on longer runs

Are ASICS Running Shoes Good for Long-Distance Running?

The short answer? Absolutely! ASICS has been a trusted name in distance running for decades, and the technology backs it up.

The Gel-Nimbus 28 is built specifically for high-mileage training. Its plush cushioning system doesn't break down even after hundreds of miles. 

The GT-1000, meanwhile, delivers structured support and stability. It’s for runners who need their shoe to work with their stride, not against it. 

And for those who need a little extra room? Wide-width ASICS shoes like the Gel-Contend Wide ensure comfort doesn't come at the cost of fit.

ASICS running shoes at WSS are stocked for runners at every level. Whether you’re a weekend jogger to pavement warrior who logs serious miles, we’ve got you covered.

ASICS Shoes for Every Member of the Family

One of the biggest reasons we carry shoes from ASICS is that they make something for everyone. The collection spans men's, women's, and kids' styles, so the whole family can step out in something built right.

For Men

The Gel-Contend 9 and GT-1000 are the workhorses in the lineup of ASICS shoes. They’re dependable trainers that hold up through daily runs, long shifts, and everything in between.

For Women

The Versablast 4 brings a lightweight, energetic ride for women who want responsive cushioning without sacrificing style. The Gel-Nimbus 28 is the premium pick for those who demand the best in long-run comfort.

For Kids

The Contend 9 Youth and GT-1000 Kids deliver the same ASICS-quality support in sizes built for growing feet. Durable enough to survive recess, supportive enough to keep up with their energy.

WSS carries the shoes ASICS makes for every generation because no one in your family should have to settle.

How Do I Choose the Right ASICS Running Shoe?

Finding the right pair comes down to three things:

1. Your terrain. Road running, treadmill training, and trail running each demand different features. ASICS makes shoes optimized for each surface, so start with where you'll actually be running.

2. Your foot type. Flat feet, high arches, or wide widths all call for different levels of support. ASICS shoes offer stability models and wide-fit versions across multiple silhouettes - there's a fit for every foot.

3. Your distance goals. A casual 2-mile run calls for something different than marathon training. Higher-cushion models like the Gel-Nimbus are built for big miles; lighter options like the Versablast shine on shorter, faster efforts.

Not sure where to start? WSS staff are ready to help you find the right ASICS running shoe for your goals, your feet, and your budget.
