ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 8 Product Description: The GEL-Venture 8 has been updated with a more accommodating fit, while reducing the amount of overlays around the forefoot. The outsole is more durable with a traction pattern that's been re-engineered with improved lugs. The durable manmade mesh uppers feature abrasion-resistant overlays, and a lace-up closure provides a secure fit. Fabric linings keep feet cool and dry, and the removable EVA sockliner is contoured to the shape of the foot. The rear foot GEL cushioning system helps absorb shock for a smoother transition. The Trusstic System reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. The trail-specific outsole features multi-directional lugs.

Foot Types and Gait Mechanics: Underpronation (Supination): - The outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. - You experience pressure on your outer toes during push-off. - Considered injuries include plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. - Foot type: High arches.

Neutral Foot Type: - Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body. - You experience even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot during push-off. - Getting hurt is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible. - Foot type: Normal-size arches.

Overpronation: - Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. - You experience pressure mainly on your big toe and second toe during push-off. - Considered injuries include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. - Foot type: Low arches or flat feet.

The GEL-VENTURE shoe is built for the trails, making it easy to launch your trail running journey. Hikers can also benefit from the traction and durability to keep them on the trails.
