Review of Asics GEL-451 sneakers

For running to be beneficial, it is important to choose the right equipment. Sneakers are especially important for such training. Shoes should be comfortable, lightweight, provide foot support and shock absorption.

The model from the Japanese brand, Asics Gel-451, meets all the requirements. Lightweight, almost weightless products, characterized by a comfortable fit and a bright, attractive design, will become an indispensable companion for practicing your favorite sport. Below is a detailed review of the shoes.

General information about the Asics GEL-451 model

The Japanese brand's shoes are primarily intended for triathlon enthusiasts - a category of athletes who most value innovative solutions and all kinds of changes. However, the manufacturer decided to do with this model the same way as with the previous Asics Noosca FF2: to release a line that would not have a direct connection with triathlon. The brand explained its decision by saying that the shoes are intended for all running enthusiasts, and are not highly specialized.

The words were confirmed in execution: unusually light sneakers can no longer be considered “half marathoners,” but they don’t even reach the parameters of pure “marathoners.” Thus, in terms of sole rigidity, the products are close to the first option, and in terms of comfort and excellent dynamics - to the second.

Excellent all-round ventilation of the feet, the ability to quickly remove moisture, a comfortable fit even without wearing a sock, and instant BOA lacing, make the 451 model the optimal option for both triathletes and long-distance runners.

On the treadmill.

The original system consists of the following parts:

  • lightweight laces;
  • hinges that reduce friction of fittings;
  • easy-to-use rotary-push system in the form of a three-dimensional button.

BOA is distinguished by simple, clear adjustment, special strength, and the ability to maintain the selected position. It also helps to evenly distribute lacing tension, adapting to the anatomical features of the foot.

Reference. The unusual system will not only eliminate the need to constantly tie your shoelaces by hand, but will also allow you to feel like Marty McFly, the hero of the cult “Back to the Future.”

“Asics” GEL-451 is the best option for both light jogging and intense training. The sneakers are especially suitable for athletes who are eager to complete a marathon, but do not want to completely give up comfortable cushioning.
