Japanese brand ASICS has been making athletic shoes since 1949. The huge corporation occupies a leading position along with such brands as Mizuno, NIKE, Adidass, Puma and Soucony. In Europe, the company is called the best in class sports running shoes.
Sneaker manufacturers are constantly developing new technologies to improve the performance of their models. A feature of Asics is the gel cushioning system, thanks to which the joints and the spine of the athlete are not subjected to pressure and stress when running. The dimensional grid of Asics sneakers differs from the usual line in Russia and neighboring countries. This condition must be taken into account when ordering models on foreign sites.
Asics size chart
The order of sizes English (UK), Japanese (JP/CM) or American (US) have the same parameters, but this does not apply to rulers in the post-Soviet space. French (European) size designation parameters are similar to domestic ones, but still differ. The numbering of the length and fullness of the foot adopted in our country is fundamentally different from that used on Japanese sneakers.
In order not to make a mistake with the size of a pair when buying online, you need to study the size grid of Asics.
How to determine your size
In order to correctly choose the right shoe size, first take measurements from the foot, determine the height of the rise, length and width. All these indicators have their own size range.
Figure 2 shows how to correctly measure the length of the foot - this is the main indicator when choosing sneakers. Measurements are best done in a standing position - so the leg takes a natural position. Based on the resulting number, select a model. For example, if a man's foot length from big toe to heel is 28 cm, then a size 10 shoe will fit.
Remember that you do not need to focus on the length of the insole, it can be 1-1.5 cm longer.
Given that the material of the models of the Japanese brand is soft and pliable, and the lacing is located in the center, the lifting height can be any. Shoes adapt to the anatomy of the foot. In the Asics sizing grid, the width usually has a standard value, but you need to focus on the specific fullness of the foot.
How to choose the right size
When ordering onlinethe store needs to be based on the size grid of Asics shoes that the manufacturer offers. It is worth buying a pair of shoes only on the manufacturer's website or from reliable sellers of sports equipment. These may be well-known sports shops in the region.

- the company divides its products not only into sports shoes, but also into walking shoes, focused on every day;

The Asics Tiger's sizing chart is similar to the sport range. Onitsuka Tiger boasts a wide range of classic or vintage models. This line is designed to create modern sports style looks, but it is not a professional shoe for running or other serious activities.
Asics focuses on the production of semi-professional sports shoes. According to customer reviews, the Japanese brand's running shoes have been the best choice for running for decades.
