ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes

The Gel-Sonoma 7 GORE-TEX is designed for the great outdoors. It's formed with a GORE-TEX membrane that helps keep your feet warm and dry when you're running in wet conditions. Underfoot comfort stems from a full-length Amplifoam midsole and GEL technology unit that's strategically placed where cushioning is needed.

Engineered Mesh and GORE-TEX Upper

Designed to keep you cool and comfortable, the upper of the Gel-Sonoma 7 GORE-TEX is made with extremely breathable material and a GORE-TEX membrane. As your feet begin to warm up, the air within the shoes can escape and is then replaced by cooler air which will feel extremely comfortable. This ventilation process will be constant, giving you one less distraction to worry about. Sweat and moisture will also be removed from the surface of the material, which will work to keep you in the highest level of comfort. Built-up moisture can escape from the shoe through the membrane, whilst preventing external moisture from entering, keeping your feet dry. The focus this season was to improve the fit of the upper, so ASICS implemented a new last design that provides a more secure midfoot and heel fit, while the wider toe box allows the toes to spread out. The synthetic stitching on the overlays helps to improve durability while also helping feet stay secure and reduce slippage. They unite with the lacing system to promote a complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. A toe guard helps protect feet against roots, rocks and other general hazards. A padded tongue and ankle collar will provide soft comfort with a reduced risk of irritation.

Amplifoam Midsole

The midsole of the Gel-Sonoma 7 contains ASICS' groundbreaking Amplifoam technology. Designed to work with all the joints in the foot, this technology provides soft cushioning constructed at a lower density, which protects it from breaking down. This softer midsole allows for better flexibility, comfort, and adaptability. An Ortholite sockliner lies above the midsole to supply an extra layer of plush and hygienic underfoot comfort. This premium product features higher rebound properties but also provides excellent moisture management and a high level of breathability; so you stay damp-free and comfortable on hot, longer-distance days. Further embedded within this platform is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. This technology works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you run onto hard, unforgiving terrain and allowing for a peaceful transition to mid-stance.

Solid Rubber Outsole

The sole of the Gel-Sonoma 7 is made from moulded rubber, creating a tough, protective outsole that can take anything you throw at it. Multi-directional lugs are included to make it tough enough to go the distance as well as offering superb grip and traction to allow you to push yourself further in the worst conditions possible. These lugs prevent your feet from sliding sideways or backwards and help to control your pace during descents.
