See Manhattan on Your Feet: Whom You Know Recommends Asics GEL-Impression™ 2!


Seeing Manhattan on your feet is for everyone who runs 10 miles a day to the person that walks 10 blocks.  In this column we aim to encourage those who need the extra incentive to get moving and improve your life, and not kill your feet in the process.  At the suggestion of our readers, we next tested the Asics GEL-Impression™ 2.  This is for the more casual runner and we were quite pleased with this model.   It's designed for new and low-mileage runners seeking great fit, excellent support, and cushioning. The durable AHAR® heel plugs add durabililty, while GEL® Cushioning System, a lightweight midsole, and the Trusstic System® optimize comfort.  They are a perfect everyday sneaker!
