ASICS Gel-Venture 9 Women's Trail Running Shoes

The Gel-Venture 9 has been modified to provide better cushioning. Its materials have been strategically designed for when you're shifting from the outdoors to city streets.​ The midsole has been modified with Amplifoam cushioning and a higher stack height. When combined with the rearfoot GEL technology, these features help create a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot.​

Breathable Mesh Upper

Mesh uppers encase each foot in durable, breathable comfort. The upper allows cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up, and creating a cool, healthy environment that feet can thrive in. The increase in ventilation enables you to go further for longer in complete comfort while the reduced overlays add durability and remain lightweight and swathe the midfoot and forefoot to improve stability. Completing the upper is a lacing system which promotes a complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides.

Amplifoam Midsole

The midsole of the Gel-Venture 9 contains ASICS' ground-breaking Amplifoam technology. Designed to work with all the joints in the foot, this technology provides soft cushioning that helps keep you feeling healthy and happy. The Amplifoam unit is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, providing better flexibility and comfort - ideal for natural running whilst sparing your joints as you land on unforgiving surfaces. Further embedded within the midsole is a rearfoot GEL cushioning system. This technology works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you sprint down onto hard, uneven terrain and allowing for a peaceful transition to mid-stance. Completing the midsole is an Ortholite sockliner that increases underfoot comfort and provides effective moisture management.

Trail Specific Outsole

Keeping you firmly in control on the trails, the rubber outsole can form a solid connection with a wide range of different surfaces. The rubber is also extremely durable and abrasion-resistant, which will protect itself over a long period, whilst maintaining its high level of performance. As well as this, re-engineered lugs in the outsole offer better traction on off-road surfaces. The aggressive, multi-directional lugs offer unprecedented traction for running up and down hills so nothing can get in the way of you giving your ultimate performance.
