It's just that you made the asics dynaflyte statement that Asics has abandoned the concept of motion control shoes, but all it looks like to me is that the name has been changed to "maximum support." Still targeting the same audience from a marketing standpoint as a shoe like the Brooks Beast based on what is said in that video.It sounds like a decent shoe (though the heel seems a little high for a "minimal" offering).I'd definitely be open to giving them an honest shot, but I'm not sure how to get you my info without putting it out there for everyone (not that I don't trust Pete or the readers of his awesome blog).
Thanks for bringing this topic to the forefront of your upcoming meetings.I hope that Asics will truly consider bringing a minimal shoe lineup to shoe store shelves soon. Maybe the success of other minimalist shoes such as Vibram's Fivefingers line, Saucony's Kinvaras, and the Merrell Barefoot shoes (just to asics fuzex name a few) will encourage the executives at Asics to green light more minimalist shoe development. I think we've all agreed that there is definitely room for improvement in the shoe industry starting with education and honest/open discussion (which we appear to be doing here).
I know why you continue to insist that the way it's always asics gel contend 3 been done is the best way because that's the way it's always been done, but do you think that maybe, just maybe, there may be something worth exploring in this minimalist movement you continue to demand proof from? Does it bother you at all that you don't have "proof" for your "side" either? I would submit that the current state of the running shoe market is "broken," if for no other reason that there is not enough variety.Luckily there are companies such as Merrell, Saucony, New Balance, and Nike (sort of) who are trying to "fix" it by offering more and asics gel cumulus more "minimalist" shoe choices.
That's a well put together discussion. We might even be able to ignore some of the science for a moment think about the business aspect of all this. The fact of the matter is there is a market for minimal shoes. Why would a running shoe company want to avoid making money from this market? If ASICS isn't careful, they might become the IBM of running shoes.So, after reading the comments of Simon Bartold I am adding this brand to the increasing list of shoe brands I will never buy. Thanks for the awesome post Pete.
Once again you have put forth a well thought out and supported rebuttal to an extremely biased comment made by another "the world is square!" shoe company leader. It continues to amaze me that a shoe company would allow an employee of theirs to alienate an entire group of consumers. Wow. By the way Simon, since you're calling for evidence, where is your evidence that the high-heeled, high-cushioned, highly "supportive" shoes you are pushing prevent injury or even help the runner in any way? And the argument that "if it ain't broke…" doesn't hold any weight since there aren't any studies that today's platformed heel running shoe prevent injuries in any way.
I'm thinking asics gel kayano evo that the only thing those shoes are good for is to help prevent heel fractures when heel-striking. Just one runners opinion. Not that consumer opinion counts, right Simon? Oh, and even if you weren't supposedly speaking for Asics, if you represent yourself as an Asics researcher then, to the minds of the audience, you are speaking for Asics. Sorry, but its true.Great post Pete.I can't help but be annoyed at the belligerence of Bartold. Whenever I approach debates like that I always like to look back at history. It provides grea [img]http://www.jeanwyllys.com/images/detail/asics gel kayano evo-532whk.jpg[/img] t insights into how and why we developed our unique physiology.
