Best for
The Patriot 14 is ASICS' no-frills trainer: E.V.A. cushioning, a solid rubber outsole, an 8 mm drop and extra forefoot foam compared with the previous version, all for $65. ASICS rates the cushion as high and the support as neutral, which is a good deal of softness for the money.
It suits runners who want a cheap, comfortable shoe for easy runs, walks and everyday use, and who will value the extra forefoot cushion more than any technology. It is a straightforward pair for relaxed miles.
It is not a light or fast shoe, and it is not built for workouts. At 290 g with a basic E.V.A. midsole it favours durability and low cost over responsiveness, so quicker sessions feel better in a more modern foam.
