The GEL-FOUNDATION 10 is a high-mileage trainer for runners who require extra stability due to over pronation without sacrificing a cushioned and comfortable fit. Stability that starts with the dual density Duomax Support System, located midsole and that enhances support and stability, while the availability of True Width Fitting not only accommodates the wider foot, but also gives a wider midsole base allows for bones to spread, preventing any restrictions or discomfort around the toes. The rearfoot and forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases and allow movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.
AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)
Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.
ComforDry sockliner
Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.
DuoMax Support System
Dual density midsole material positioned sport specifically which enhances support and stability by helping to correct the degree and velocity of pronation.
DuraSponge
DuraSponge is a blown AHAR compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot. ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole.
Solyte Midsole Material
Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.
Trusstic
Plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility.
3M Reflectivity
Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company.
Guidance Line
Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.
