MIDSOLE

A visible GEL system, based on a proprietary silicone, enables optimum shock absoption, whilst the Solyte midsole comprises of a supremely lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability for smooth ride underfoot. A propulsion Trusstic System also provides enhanced guidance through to the forefoot propulsion stage of the gait cycle for improved efficiency. A removable ComforDry Sockliner provides an optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier, healthier shoe environment.

OUTSOLE

An AHAR+ Heel comprises of a thinner and lighter version of ASICS High Abrasion Rubber and is placed on heavy contact areas of the outsole to reduce excessive wear while a Durasponge Rubber Forefoot also increases abrasion resistance for added durability, combined with a comfortable cushioned ride.
