The Athletic Sneakers That Experienced Runners Swear By

Two-time Paralympian and three-time Paralympic bronze medalist Kym Crosby tells POPSUGAR she's worn her Asics Gel-Nimbus 23 Lite-Show ($150) sneakers for seven years so far. She's been competing as a runner for twice that amount of time, and she says she has tested many brands of shoes but landed on this pair.

"I have a narrow foot, and Asics tend to run more on the narrow side," Crosby notes. "They don't break down as fast as other brands do. And most importantly, they provide a lot of comfort and stability." She also says the shoes are suited for various types of terrain such as grass, trails, and the track.
