Anyone who thinks that putting 1cm EXTRA on the heel of a boot, used in sports there the legs are generating huge loads, extreme angles, and both at the same time, is a peanut.Ah, you again. I can give you an update now, as I have worn Asics for the last few years. I have had problematic knees in the past, but since switching to Asics boots have had absolutely no problems. Your claim, or wherever you got it from, of landing on your heel causing knee problems is extremely flawed. Jump up and pay attention to how you land. It's human instinct to land on the ball of your foot. The ONLY reason you would ever land on your heel first after jumping would be due to being extremely off balance. Also, the extra support in the Asics also helped relieve some of the ankle problems I had previously. I am playing senior footy, and train twice a week. There is a reason why so many Australian Rules football players wear Asics boots.
And as for you not being able to tell the difference between Absolado's and Instincts, you really don't know what you're looking at if you can not tell the difference !! And no, it is not just price. As you may have noticed with the lack of replies, no one is really interested in opinions from someone who isn't even putting the boots on their own feet !!
Time will tell.
