The GLIDERIDE 2 shoe is scientifically proven to save energy over the long run. By reducing energy through the phases of the gait cycle from footstrike to toe-off, this running shoe can help you cover greater distances. This season, we wanted to leave the energy-saving properties intact while creating a smoother ride with a better fitting upper. Designed for runners who want to feel fresher for longer durations, this shoe is also a functional choice for recovery runs. Improving the fit of the upper, this design features an engineered mesh that provides excellent airflow while adjusting to the natural shape of the foot's motion. Paired with a 3D print, this application also creates targeted support without extra stitching or added weight. Additionally, the shoe's upper is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions. GUIDESOLE technology consists of a curved sole that improves running efficiency by decreasing the load placed on the lower limbs. FLYTEFOAM technology cushioning is placed on the top layer of the midsole for a soft landing, while the bottom layer of FLYTEFOAM Propel technology generates a more responsive bounceback. Sandwiched between these two layers in the forefoot is a plate that helps keep the integrity of the midsole. Encouraging an easy forward roll, this motion propels the foot forward to create smoother and more efficient transitions between strides. Additionally, the AHARPLUS outsole improves durability and extends the shoe's lifespan.

A great shoe. I love this shoe.
6/18/2021Male, 5'7" 170lbs, size 9.I run daily and train in the gym daily.This is just a great shoe for a dense, muscular built guy. Very high quality built shoe. Has a alot of stability built in to this neutral shoe. The upper is quality built. An impressive shoe. The midsole in your hands is stiff and solid but underfoot is perfect. Glideride is a perfect name for the shoe. It is a great Daily Trainer and does well on Easy Days to Tempo Days and Long Run Days. Has good bounce from the mid foot to fore foot push off. The fit is perfect for me and has a supportive arch. This shoe saves the legs compared to so many others.I recently logged a couple days in the Nike ZoomX Invincible (a highly rated shoe). The Asics Glideride 2 is far superior to the Nike. In a different class in my opinion. I sent the Nike back. For me it was an odd jarring, giggly and mushy ride. A clunky shoe.Anyway, for me Asics hit a home run with the Glideride 2.It is in my running shoe rotation with the Asics Novablast and Gel Nimbus Lite 2.I run in the Asics Gel Nimbus 23 on many of the Easy Day runs.I would definitely buy again.

I've owned a pair of the original Asics GlideRide shoes for a couple of years, and I like them a lot, so I bought a pair of the new GlideRide model. My feet have issues that require me to use custom insoles, and to wear shoes with a sole that is as stiff and inflexible as possible. What I like about the GlideRide shoes is that not only are the soles stiff, they are also curved up at the front, so that with each step the back foot actually rocks forward instead of bending at the toe. Perfect for my feet.

Great, but my little toe rubbed
They're great shoes. Especially the cutaway on the front that lets you lean forward without getting any resistance, allowing you to maintain momentum while running. The only problem I had was the same thing with other shoes. The little toe on my left foot rubbed pretty hard. Used Dr Scholl's but still looking for a better solution. Otherwise excellent shoes.

Wonderful
Speedy, comfortable, shock absorber, simply it glides! Well suited for my extra wide feet although classified only 2E wide shoes. I took half size larger than previous Asics shoes. PR's are keep going.

Comfortable!
Perfect fit, very comfortable. The configuration of tread minimizes the problem of small rocks getting caught
