Asics Gel Foundation 8 Womens TN8A8
A signature shoe in the maximum support category, the Asics Gel-Foundation 8 running shoe is the fourth generation of the GEL-Evolution. Its packed with features to support those with severe over pronation whilst remaining very light and flexible.
Air Mesh, synthetic leather upper and personal heel fit provide excellent comfort and breathability whilst 3M scotchlite reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
The SpEVA midsole improves bounce back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown for increased durability and propulsion.
Forefoot GEL reduces the loading forces as the foot moves into propulsion, improving performance and minimising the risk of injury.
Rearfoot GEL provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact. The GEL in the heel is left exposed in this case.
The Trusstic in the mid foot area provides stability whilst working in combination with the contoured midsole to help control torsion.
AHAR+ on the outsole is placed in the heel to reduce wear and increase durability for those who do high mileage. Also the solid rubber outsole provides great longevity and durability.
DuraSponge, a blown AHAR compound provides 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 for excellent levels of durability.
SpEVA 65 lasted and removable single layer ComforDry Sockliner provides the optimum cushioning performance that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
