Win a pair of "BC WALKER 329 (W)" in size 24cm!

The new concept walking shoe, "BC Walker," guides your stride smoothly from landing to toe-off by allowing you to feel and consciously engage ASICS' unique 'Balance Control Bar' with the soles of your feet.

This enhances walking efficiency. By walking with beautiful posture, you can expect benefits such as increased stride length and arm swing, leading to greater range of motion and making it easier to burn calories. Furthermore, beyond external effects, it also offers the advantage of positively impacting your inner state, such as "refreshing your mood."

At the event themed "Shiseikatsu" (Posture Living), which aims for women who embody beauty not only in body but also in spirit through upright walking, beauty specialists such as the members of the Star Troupe of the Takarazuka Revue (who also appear in TV commercials), conditioning trainer Yoshie Ariyoshi, and model Natsuko Watanabe, made appearances.

In the talk show, under the theme of "The Importance of Walking with Good Posture," specialists in "Beautiful Posture Walking" shared their personal experiences wearing the "BC Walker," discussing style, demeanor, and the physical and mental effects and benefits.
