Asics Gel-Sonoma 5 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
Perfect for any terrain, the ASICS Gel-Sonoma 5 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes is prepared to offer exceptional technical performance and protection, making it the go-to shoe for offroad adventures. A durable waterproof GORE-TEX membrane will keep you feeling dry and protected for the full duration of your run.
GORE-TEX Upper
Surrounding the upper of the shoe is a durable GORE-TEX membrane. This will mean that you will feel dry and comfortable in any conditions, as the membrane will block out all moisture, preventing it from entering and causing you any discomfort. In addition to this, the membrane will still allow air in and out of it for exceptional breathability and ventilation. Designed to keep you cool and comfortable, the upper of the Gel-Sonoma 5 is made with extremely breathable material. This will mean that as your feet begin to warm up with exercise, the air within the shoes is able to escape out. Once removed, it is then replaced by cooler air from outside, and this will feel extremely comfortable on the feet. This ventilation process will be constant, giving you one less distraction to worry about. Sweat and moisture will also be removed from the surface of the material, which will work to keep you in the highest level of comfort. 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. A traditional lacing system will mean that the fit of the shoes is personalised and comfortable. A padded tongue and ankle collar will provide soft comfort with a reduced risk of irritation.
AmpliFoam Midsole
The Midsole of the Gel-Sonoma 5 contains ASICS' groundbreaking AmpliFoam technology. Designed to work with all 33 joints in the foot, this technology provides soft cushioning constructed a lower density, which protects it from breaking down. This softer midsole allows for better flexibility, comfort, and adaptability. An Ortholite sockliner lies above the midsole; this is 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. Further embedded within this platform is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. This 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.
Carbon Rubber Outsole
The sole of the Gel-Sonoma 5 is made from moulded rubber, creating a tough, protective outsole that can take anything you through at it. Multi-directional thinner lugs are included to make it tough enough to go the distance and offers superb grip and traction to allow you to push yourself further in the worst conditions possible. These lugs prevent your feet from sliding sidewards or backwards and help to control your pace during descents.
