How Brooks and ASICS actually compare
Runners frequently alternate between Brooks and ASICS more than almost any other brands, and the sizing charts simplify the process. In men's sizes, Brooks and ASICS agree: a Brooks US 10 corresponds to 28 cm (11 inches) of foot length, and ASICS lists its US 10 at the same measurement (EU 44). Women's sizes introduce a minor variation, as the ASICS women's chart runs about half a size smaller for the same foot length. 5, depending on the specific foot length within that range.
It's advisable to size up if you are between sizes. Both brands provide US, UK, and EU size columns, all anchored to centimeters, making foot length an effective reference for switching sizes. Racing models in both brands are cut closer than daily trainers, so it's essential to check the model page before selecting a size for a race shoe.
