‘I Review Walking Shoes For A Living, And I’d Buy These 8 Asics Prime Day Deals Right Now’
Not to toot my own horn, but I’m an expert in running and walking shoes. As WH‘s Fitness Commerce Editor, I regularly walk half marathons weekly for fun (I know, crazy), and reach up to 60 miles per week testing different sneakers. Long story short, I know how to spot shoes that provide supreme comfort, stability (responsible for keeping feet aligned), and shock absorption (decreases the impact on joints). As a shopping writer—I also know a bargain when I see it. Today is one of my favorite non-official shopping holidays—Amazon Prime Big Deal Days—and I found incredible discounts on Asics, which are editor- and celeb-loved running shoes (!).

Myself and the WH team love the brand’s signature cushioning that makes it easy to walk for miles in them without any pain or feet our joints. What sets Asics apart from competitors like Hoka is its iconic gel technology. What is that? It’s a proprietary foam in the heel that absorbs absorbs impact. This makes it deal for walkers whose feet tend to overpronate (roll inward). It’s so impressive that the style snagged a spot in our roundup of the best running shoes for wide feet.
For fast walking and racing, I recommend the Gel-Nimbus 24 (it’s 44% off!). It provides explosive bounce-back in each step to help assist in gaining speed. If you’re seeking a more sporty street-style shoe, the Gel-Quantum 180 (for 67% off!) will turn heads while absorbing impact. Plus, Asics sneakers look super cute and have been sported by A-listers like Jennifer Garner. Earlier this year, Garner was seen sporting the Gel-Kayano 29, which is 47% off (!).
Why You Should Trust Me
It’s safe to say I’ve tested more than 100 pairs of sneakers throughout my career. Whether it’s a pair of walking, running, or lifestyle sneakers, I know what features to look for. Check out my credentials in my latest Lululemon Beyondfeel running shoe review. And, Asics and I go way back. I first wore Asics during my high school cross-country season—the Gel-Cumulus 12. It was my first training shoe and it left a positive mark! Now, I religiously wear the Gel-1130 for walking, jogging, and looking dope on the street.
