ASICS Gel-Sonoma 3 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes
Fully equipped to cope well when worn on practically any terrain, from slippery pavements to muddy forest ground, the new ASICS GEL-SONOMA 3 G-TX men's running shoes will make it possible for you to pay more attention to reaching your goals and to the spectacular scenery around you. Thanks to its trail-specific outsole, fears of losing your footing won't be there to cloud the experience. GORE-TEX technology uses a waterproof but breathable membrane to protect you from the outdoor elements.
GORE-TEX Upper
Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Overlays swathe the midfoot for increased support; they unite with the lacing system to promote complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. A toe guard reinforces the Sonoma's trail-worthy state by defending feet against roots, rocks and other general hazards. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; it supplies a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. Reflective elements complete the upper, increasing your visibility to passing vehicles and keeping you safe on those low-light adventures.
EVA Midsole
An Ortholite sockliner lies atop soft but supportive midsole, implemented to supply an extra layer of plush and hygienic underfoot comfort. This premium product features higher rebound properties but also provides excellent moisture-management and a high level of breathability; so you stay damp-free and comfortable on hot, longer distance days. EVA resides in the midsole to supply lightweight and resilient cushioning. Embedded within this platform is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. The clever technology works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you sprint down onto hard, unforgiving terrain and allowing for a peaceful transition to mid-stance.
Trail-Specific Outsole
A trail-specific outsole completes the Gel-Sonoma 3 G-TX. AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber) is placed in critical areas to increase the shoe's durability and supply multi-directional grip on wet and dry ground. Reversed lugs adorn the grippy outsole to improve your control as you tackle awkward ascents and daring descents. Choose the Gel-Sonoma 3 for timeless design and reliable protection on the trails.
