ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 24 Running Shoes

The ASICS women's running shoes feature an engineered mesh upper that wraps the foot with a soft feel while improving breathability. The ASICS LITE rubber used in the outsole is lighter, stronger, and more sustainable than standard outsole rubbers, providing enhanced durability.

The shoes have a wide fit and utilize the Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System, which attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

The Knit Tongue construction comfortably wraps the foot with a softer and more supportive feel across the top of the foot. The FF BLAST PLUS cushioning keeps the shoe lightweight while providing a softer feeling underfoot.

The shoes are designed for road running and have a 13mm heel drop. They weigh 247g/8.7oz and are classified as neutral, offering 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. During push-off, users experience pressure on their outer toes, and they may be prone to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches often exhibit this foot type.

In contrast, neutral foot type is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. During push-off, the user experiences even distribution from the front of the foot, and they are less likely to sustain injuries due to effective shock absorption, although it is not impossible.

Overpronation, on the other hand, occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. This results in pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, and can lead to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit this foot type.

The ASICS running shoes offer different key benefits to cater to various foot types and running preferences. The "Protection" shoes provide a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. The "Comfort" shoes prioritize soft landings and impact absorption, maintaining comfort on longer runs. The "Energy Return" shoes offer a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, propelling the runner forward. The "Racing" shoes provide a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts.
