![]() ![]() ![]() With this, I did have to lace down rather snug to prevent any slippage. There is a moderate stretch in the toebox for accommodating foot types and overall feels wider than the "classic ASICS fit". Although thinned out, the upper is still robust and typical for a daily trainer (whereas the previous had more of a "premium" high cushion feel). The upper is still an engineered mesh, but it is thinned out throughout the forefoot as well as in the tongue. Nathan: The upper is one of the major updates to this shoe. For me I think the heel could still be secured a little bit better and the region between the tongue and toe box could be decreased in volume a little more. As long as you lace the shoe down snug like you should in most shoes the fit should be just fine. Because of the large toe spring the heel can almost feel like it lifts easier or slips a tiny bit, but this is not the case. ![]() The heel does have a semi rigid counter that is padded really well. The upper locks down really well through the midfoot and the heel. There is a toe guard that seems to maintain this volume throughout the forefoot. The fit throughout is normal width with a wider toebox in the forefoot. This worked really well for me and I feel it accommodates swelling really well. The upper feels like it has more volume to it with height and width especially in the forefoot. The mesh is a little thicker than the EvoRide and is definitely built for some longer runs and higher mileage efforts. Although at first glance it doesn't look like an overhaul of the original, the changes to the midsole and upper make the shoe run differently without losing its essence.ĭavid: The upper of the GlideRide 2 fits true to size in my normal 9.5. The GlideRide 2 is much more refined with a more stable platform (particularly in the heel) as well as a thinned out and more appropriate upper for the function of the shoe. Nathan: The GlideRide 2 carries through ASICS' GUIDESOLE technology which sports an aggressive forefoot rocker (toe spring) that was debuted in the original GlideRide. The ride provides a stable and engaging ride that is great for easy days and long runs. The GlideRide 2 differentiates itself from the EvoRide 2 in that it has more stack height and weight to it while still maintaining the light feel. The result is a really quick transition up front and a fun ride. The GUIDESOLE creates a platform with an excessive toe spring in the forefoot that creates a rolling effect through the forefoot and the toe off phases of gait. David: The ASICS GlideRide 2 continues to expand on the GUIDESOLE technology that ASICS debuted last year. ![]()
