Is the Hypersync good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle shoe inspired by track and wrestling footwear, with a thin, low-profile outsole. Use a dedicated running shoe for training.

It follows ASICS's standard sizing and has a snug, low-profile build. Shoppers between sizes or with wide feet should consider going up half a size.

Does it have a cushioned insole?

Yes. It comes with an OrthoLite X-40 sockliner, which adds step-in comfort over the minimal midsole.

How does it compare with ASICS Gel trainers?

It is much thinner and less cushioned. The Hypersync is for casual wear and style; Gel models are built for support and mileage.

Is it comfortable for all-day standing?

For short errands and casual days, yes. The thin outsole offers little cushioning, so people who stand for hours may want a more padded shoe.

Our take on the ASICS Hypersync "Piedmont Grey" 1203A879 020

The ASICS Hypersync is a low-profile lifestyle sneaker that borrows from archival wrestling and track-and-field shoes. It pairs a breathable air mesh base with silver synthetic overlays and decorative white stitching, and sits on a thin, minimal outsole for a close-to-the-ground feel. An OrthoLite X-40 sockliner adds step-in cushioning. It suits people who want a slim, retro-athletic silhouette for everyday wear rather than a cushioned running shoe; compared with ASICS's Gel-based trainers it offers far less underfoot support and is built for style, not mileage.
