ASICS GT-1000 11 GORTEX RUNNING SHOE - BLACK
ASICS key focus for the GT-1000™ 11 GTX shoe was to make this style waterproof and breathable. Thanks to its GORE-TEX™ upper, this shoe keeps the elements out when you’re running in wet conditions. FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning in the midsole is tuned with a lower density than the previous version. Teamed with GEL™ technology, this combination creates softer landings and smoother transitions. LITETRUSS™ technology is placed on the midsole’s inside angle to reduce pronation. It helps produce a more supportive stride while keeping overpronation at bay.

Pronation
- Neutral
- Foot Type: Normal size arches
- Push Off: There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
- Considered Injuries: Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
- How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
- Overpronation
- Foot Type: Low arches or flat feet
- Push Off: Big toe and second toe do majority of the work.
- Considered Injuries: Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
- How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
