A Major Breakthrough In Sports Shoe Performance.
- What is Asics Gel? Asics Gel is a thick, silicon-based gel that is encapsulated in pads. these gel pads have an unmatched ability to absorb much of the jarring impact that occurs when the foot strikes any surface.
- How does it work? Asics Gel is able to disperse incoming vertical shock into a horizontal direction.
- Where are the Asics Gel Pads? The pads are most often cradled above the EVA midsole. The size and exact location of Asics Gel pads varies according to each shoe model and its function.
- Why is shock absorption important? Inadequate shock absorption is a leading cause of painful shin splints, stress fractures, bone bruises and knee/hip aches.
