Asics Gel Nimbus 10 vs. Avia Avi-Bolt II running shoes? Which should I get?
Question: The Gel Nimbus 10s have more cushioning and stability, but they're heavier. The Avia's are more of a racing shoe, and they're lighter and will be faster, but they will be less cushioned and less supportive. I do race, but I don't know if I would sacrifice the comfort and stability
Answer: I have both Avia and Asics gel shoes, and I would recommend the Asics for both training and racing. Unless a shoe is unreasonably heavy, you won't notice the weight difference in them.
The Avia shoes seemed very good at first, but it wasn't long before they started
If avia's are a real racing shoe, you don't want to be doing a lot of distance running in them. Racing shoes aren't built for that. You could easily get shin splints or other injuries.
