When you compare Saucony vs ASICS sizing, it becomes very interesting.
TBH, I also did not know what exactly are the differences, before I did the research for this article.
When you compare data side by side, the kind of details that pop up is just fascinating…
Did you know ASICS has some odd measurements for some of the sizes and those size numbers actually tally up with Saucony, whose length is again different from ASICS?
Did I confuse you? Well, don’t worry I’ll present the differences between ASICS and Saucony sizing as clearly as possible.
BTW, I did not compare the heel-to-toe drop of Saucony and Asics with each other as I’ve already covered that in this article.
Let’s procced…

Do ASICS Run Bigger Or Smaller Than Saucony?
No, ASICS doesn’t run bigger or smaller than Saucony as for almost every length of Saucony there is an ASICS running shoe present, except for some of the higher and lower sizes.
However, this misconception arises because the numbers that the shoe represents in both brands are different.
For example, let’s pick the size 6.5(US) of Saucony for the women’s shoes which are 23 cm in length. The same length is represented by ASICS with the number 6(US).
Let’s check another example…
For the length of 26.5 cm of women’s shoes both ASICS and Saucony represent it with the number 10(US).
You can find many such examples where for the same length the number that ASICS uses is bigger than that of Saucony.
So, basically every number that a shoe represents in any of these brands may represent the same or a different length and neither of them runs smaller or bigger than the other.
