ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes, Black/Black

This item features synthetic and mesh fabric, and it can be machine washed. The sole is made of rubber, while the outer material is synthetic resin.

The key highlights of this product are as follows:

GEL TECHNOLOGY: The cushioning provides excellent shock absorption. RE-ENGINEERED OUTSOLE LUGS: The redesigned outsole lugs offer better off-road traction, with a reduced number of overlays around the forefoot without compromising durability.

DURABLE UPPER CONSTRUCTION: The breathable mesh upper is reinforced with strategically placed synthetic overlays for added support and longevity. EXCELLENT TRACTION: The tread pattern is designed for use on concrete or trail surfaces. The outsole lugs have been engineered to provide enhanced traction on both uphill and downhill sections of a trail. SHOCK ABSORPTION: The GEL technology is placed directly under the rearfoot to offer excellent shock absorption upon impact.

This product is designed for trail use and has a 10mm heel drop. It weighs 354g/12.5oz and provides a regular level of cushioning for a neutral foot type.

Foot types and running characteristics:

UNDERPRONATION (SUPINATION): Foot contact: The outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, leading to shock on the lower leg. Push-off: Pressure is experienced on the outer toes. Potential injuries: Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain. Foot type: High arches.

NEUTRAL FOOT TYPE: Foot contact: The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact. Push-off: Even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot. Potential injuries: Less likely to get injured due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible. Foot type: Normal-sized arches.

OVERPRONATION: Foot contact: The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. Push-off: Pressure is mainly experienced on the big toe and second toe. Potential injuries: Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs. Foot type: Low arches or flat feet.
