This is the Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent, a pair of women's running shoes we hold in 3 colourways and sizes 42 to 40.5.
Cushioning is a preference rather than a ranking. A taller, softer midsole absorbs more impact over long distances and suits easy days and higher mileage. A lower, firmer shoe gives more ground feel and a more direct push-off, which many runners prefer for shorter and faster sessions. The right amount is close to what your legs are already used to; changing it sharply is a common cause of new aches.
Heel hold matters as much as toe room. If your heel lifts as you push off, the shoe is either too large or the wrong shape for your foot, and lacing adjustments will only partly compensate. A secure heel with a relaxed forefoot is what you are aiming for.
Colourways include Airy Blue / Storm Cloud; White / Blush; White / Marzipan. We are an independent retailer rather than an authorised stockist, and this product is made by the brand named on it. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply to everything we sell: see our warranty page.
