I dropped by at the ASICS Expo held at the Condura Village last February 5, 2010. All I knew was that there were going to be Japanese experts there to help you find the perfect fitting shoes.
The Foot Scan ID is a quick and easy foot analysis system which measures all aspects of a person's feet. That's beauty guru and fellow writer Marie Calica up there demonstrating the process for everyone at the event. Basically, you stand on two pads on the scanner, plant your ankles firmly in the grooves on the back wall, and wait a little while as the guy enters information into the computer. He'll ask for your birthday so he can compare your results with other men and women in your age range.
That's the Japanese expert in action, processing the analysis of Marie's feet on his laptop. The whole interface is in Japanese!
After the demo, I got to have my turn for a Foot Scan ID. I had to fold up my jeans so they could do it properly. After a few minutes I got a print-out of my results and the Japanese guy explained what they meant.
According to my Foot Scan ID results, my feet are within the normal range for women my age. They were neither narrow nor wide, although my results leaned more towards the narrow side of normal. This meant that I could wear any model of ASICS shoes and make the most of it. They recommended that I get size 8.5 when it comes to running shoes, so I can be perfectly comfortable running long distances and not get blisters. My normal shoe size is 7.5, but getting your exact size in athletic shoes is not recommended.
ASICS GEL series shoes are incredibly light and comfortable. They look great too! I'll probably get one of these after my current pair of running shoes wear out.
ASICS is available at Planet Sports, The Athlete Foot, Toby’s, The Runner, Olympic Village, 2nd Wind, The Outlet Depot (Subic) and selected SM Department Stores nationwide.
Watch out for the ASICS flagship store at Greenbelt 3 in May 2010.
