Asics

At ASICS, we have built a diverse line of running shoes engineered to support the way you move, using innovative technologies developed at our own Institute of Sport Science.

Join Asics as we explore SHOES FOR THE REGION … Sports are quite regional and as different surfaces and environment need to be taken into consideration so thus shoes must be different – even the human foot can vary from region to region around the world. Due to our Australian environment (and population numbers) it is hard for Australia to obtain footwear made for our region specifically, but for ASICS we have a long running 25-year history in the market providing shoes for Australians.

Brooks Running

At Brooks, we have a simple purpose - to inspire people to run and to enhance their running experience. Extensive research and development has afforded Brooks a comprehensive understanding of runners insights and motivations, and we have established product families that will enhance comfort, increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury.

To find a better solution to reduce running related injuries, what we found has shifted our focus away from the foot, to the knee. This lead us to create the GuideRails support system that helps the knee and the foot to work together. GuideRails work with the geometries of the shoe, to provide wholistic biomechanical support. Different shapes and widths ensure an optimum fit, and runners can select the running experience they desire based on different foams used in the midsoles.
