Which shoe would be best for distance training: the Asics Gel-evolution II or the Nike air max 360 II?

Question:As far as bounce back in the overall life of the shoe

Any other suggestions?

Answers:

When it comes to selecting shoes, it is best to consider what your needs are. For example, the Asics Gel-Evolution II is a "motion control" shoe that is primarily designed for people will low arches. It provides guidance to your feet so that your feet move naturally through each step while providing support for your arches. Also, it has extra support because it is also designed for a medium to heavy build runner. Unless you're a runner with flat feet, I'm not sure why you would want to go with the Evolution II. Otherwise, they're perfectly good shoes.

The Nike Air Max 360 II is more of an all-around running shoe for people with average or high arches. The air sole cushioning definitely gives you an extra spring in your step. However, one of the most common complaints of the Nike Air Max 360's is that the cushioning wears out pretty early compared to other brands of shoes of similar design. This can be a concern because they are about $150 for a pair, about double the price tag of the Asics Gel-Evolution II.

The best approach to buying running shoes, especially for distance training, is to go to a specialty running shoe. There you can try on different shoes and run with them on a treadmill. Your feet will tell you which shoe is best for you. The last thing you want is a pair of shoes that were not designed for your feet. After all, the average lifetime of a shoe is 400-500 miles, which can be about half to three-quarters of a year for most runners.

Also, try not to get focused on brands. Among marathon runners (who definitely know their shoes), Asics is the clear favorite with Nike close behind. However, Brooks, Mizuno, Saucony, and others are closing in on Nike very quickly. All of them are great brands, but it is your feet's specific needs that are far more important. There is no such thing as the best brand of shoes, only the best shoes for you.
