ASICS Gel-Kumo Lyte MX Running Shoes

Breathable Mesh Upper

As you begin to exercise, the body begins to warm. As the feet have many small working muscles in them, the feet start to expand and warm up. As a result the air inside the shoes will also warm to an uncomfortable level. However, the mesh surrounding the upper of the shoe will immediately step into action, allowing the air within it to escape out. The hot air is then replaced by cooler air from outside, and this will work constantly to provide you with exceptional breathability. Moisture from sweat is also able to escape out of the shoe, whilst liquid on the surface of the material is wicked away instantly, returning the shoes to their lightweight feel. A firm heel cup will ensure the rearfoot will always be held in a comfortable and upright position. A traditional lacing system will allow you to find a firm and comfortable fit all the way up the feet, guaranteeing a personalised and non-restrictive fit. A padded tongue and ankle collar will reduce the risk of irritation from rubbing, whilst it will also enhance comfort.

SpEVA Midsole

Plush comfort and response is provided by the SpEVA midsole, giving you an added boost as you go. The EVA towards the top of the midsole is soft, and as a result it will cushion every step. This will mean that you the stress placed on the knees, ankles and feet is reduced, reducing the risk of injuries from occurring. Fatigue is also reduced by taking away some of the stress and strain, allowing you to carry on for longer without any discomfort. The foam also works as a protective layer, absorbing all impacts instantly. This will mean that any heavy shocks or impacts from sharp objects or big steps are prevented from reaching the sole of the feet. The energy created in the midsole from the natural gait cycle is returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step, helping you push on. Within the shoe, and in direct contact with the feet is an Ortholite midsole. Over time, this will mould to the shape of your feet for soft comfort that lasts.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Designed to maintain your underfoot control, the durable rubber is able to form a solid bond with a wide range of different surface for the grip and traction. This will mean that you will always be in control with a stable base guaranteed. The rubber is abrasion-resistant, and this will mean that the shape and definition of the shoes will be maintained over a long time, improving its functionality. Multi-directional flexes and grooves will further anchor you in place, which will help with transitions like accelerating, braking and changing directions. The grooves also make the whole of the midsole more flexible, allowing it to make a wider range of movements without any restriction.
