"Men's ASICS® Glideride Max 2: The Glideride Max 2 is a men's running shoe built around one idea - making each mile feel more effortless than the last. The rockered midsole design works with your natural stride to smooth out the transition from landing to toe-off, so longer runs feel less like a grind. If you're looking for a road running shoe that keeps things comfortable without sacrificing forward momentum, this one is worth a close look.Underfoot, FF BLAST MAX cushioning sits in the top layer of the midsole, giving you a soft landing with enough response to keep the ride from feeling dead. The hard-pressed EVA plate reinforces that rockered geometry, helping reduce the effort needed at toe-off - which adds up over the course of a long run. The engineered woven upper keeps airflow moving around the foot, and the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole combines two rubber compounds to hold up across miles of road running. A heel pull tab makes getting in and out of the shoe quick and easy, which is a small thing that matters more than you'd think after a hard effort.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I put these on for a longer easy run and noticed pretty quickly how smooth the stride felt - the rocker just keeps things rolling without you having to think about it. The cushioning is soft enough that your feet aren't complaining at mile 10, but it doesn't feel like you're running on a cloud that's trying to slow you down. Good shoe for anyone who wants comfort without giving up a sense of the road."" - Michael, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Seattle WAWho It's Best ForIf you want a cushioned road running shoe that takes some of the work out of longer miles, the Glideride Max 2 is a strong fit.
