The rubber sole material and synthetic outer material of this product feature a lace-up closure type, but it is not water resistant.

Key features of this item include:

OrthoLite X-55 sockliner: Improves comfort AHAR Plus Outsole: Strategically positioned in critical areas of the outsole, this exceptionally durable compound is 50% more durable than standard ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Trusstic System technology: Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. Engineered Mesh Upper: Multi-directional mesh material improves ventilation and stability. Dynamic DuoMax Support System: This evolution of DuoMax system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.

The engineered mesh upper improves breathability, while the Dynamic DuoMax Support System enhances stability and support with reduced weight and increased platform support.

The Rear Foot GEL Technology attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

This shoe is designed for road surfaces and has a 13 mm heel drop. It weighs 258 g/9.1 oz and provides neutral, stability support with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is a foot type where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. This can lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, and is typically associated with high arches.

In contrast, a neutral foot type is one where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body. This results in even distribution during push-off from the front of the foot, and the risk of injury is lower due to effective shock absorption, though not impossible.

Overpronation is a foot type where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. This can lead to issues like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs, and is typically associated with low arches or flat feet.

Depending on your foot type and needs, this shoe offers different key benefits:

Stability: Provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding your foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Comfort: Offers cushioning to prioritize soft landings and impact absorption, helping maintain comfort on longer runs. Energy Return: Provides a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, with energy return that propels you forward. Racing: Offers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and faster finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts.
