ASICS Gel-Pulse 11 GORE-TEX Running Shoes

Put your best foot forward in every run with the help of the men's GEL-PULSE 11 running trainers by ASICS. Specially designed for medium-mileage runners, these men's running shoes combine comfort, practicality and contemporary features for an overall supreme trainer.

GORE-TEX Upper

GORE-TEX adds another dimension to any shoe. Providing you with breathable waterproofing, GORE-TEX has been specifcally designed to keep your feet dry from harsher weather ensuring that you remain comfortable wherever you are. A mesh upper encases each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Overlay reinforcements swathe the midfoot and forefoot to improve stability; 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. Double mesh at the heel helps to secure the rearfoot, adding soft support.

SpEVA Midsole

An EVA sockliner moulds to the shape of your foot while a generous layer of SpevaFoam 45 Lasting material sits beneath to supply step-in softness; its added cushion produces a soft feel and improved comfort, sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. Underneath, are the Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems. This clever technology works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you sprint down onto hard, unforgiving pavements, and allowing for a peaceful transition to mid-stance. SpEVA at the heel and EVA in the forefoot combine to create a third layer of plush comfort and cushioning. SpEVA is efficient under the heel because it improves bounce-back characteristics but decreases midsole breakdown, so your shoe will withstand the traumas of heel-strike for longer.

AHAR Outsole

A hard EVA Trusstic System sits beneath the midfoot to increase the shoe's torsional rigidity, supporting the movement and cooperating with the Guidance Line to enhance gait efficiency. AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) covers the heel to increase durability, implemented to resist the traumas of heel-strike so that you get to wear your favourite shoe for longer. Blown rubber makes up the rest of the outsole, supplying enhanced cushioning and effective grip, while flex grooves promote natural foot flexion for easy, unhindered strides. The GEL-PULSE 10 trainer really does prove a timeless ergonomic footwear choice for this season and beyond.
