Asics MAGIC Speed 4 Walking Shoes

Description

Upper: Adaptable woven mesh upper engineered to flex with natural foot expansion, avoiding pressure hotspots over sensitive metatarsals.
Midsole Cushioning: High-volume FF BLAST™ PLUS and TURBO foam layers designed to absorb and disperse vertical impact forces away from lower-body joints.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Rigid carbon-TPU plate maintains midfoot structure, preventing arch sagging and easing strain on the plantar fascia.
Outsole: Broad-base outsole footprint mapped to distribute body weight evenly across landing and push-off zones.

Key Features & Benefits

Joint Impact Attenuation: Ultra-responsive foam stack buffers heavy heel strikes, protecting knees, hips, and lower back.
Plantar Fascia Support: Full-length embedded plate limits arch flexing, reducing tension along the plantar band.
Ankle Workload Reduction: Rockered Guidesole™ geometry minimizes the bending force required at the ankle joint during propulsion.
Grounded Base Stability: Stabilized plate platform prevents excessive foot roll during long standing or walking shifts.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable sockliner accommodates thin orthotic insoles; select half a size larger if using thick custom inserts.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Everyday Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural toe expansion.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics running shoes are engineered for a snug, locked-in feel around the midfoot and heel to ensure maximum stability, with optimal room in the forefoot.
GEL™ Cushioning & Arch Support: Due to structured arch support and GEL™ inserts, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to casual sneakers.
