ASICS Gel-Venture 8 Women's Running Shoes

Product Description: This product features GEL Technology, providing excellent shock absorption for a more comfortable experience. The outsole lugs have been re-engineered to enhance off-road traction, making them perfect for trail running. The upper construction is durable, with synthetic overlays stitched into the breathable mesh upper for added support and durability. The tread pattern on the outsole is designed for consumers who wear these shoes on concrete or trail surfaces. The GEL technology is strategically placed under the rearfoot to absorb shock upon impact. The shoe has a heel drop of 10mm and weighs 252g/8.9 oz. It offers neutral support and regular cushioning.

Underpronation: Underpronation occurs when the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle and causes minimal pronation. This can lead to shock and strain on the lower leg. During push-off, pressure is applied to the outer toes. People with high arches are more prone to underpronation. Injuries associated with underpronation include plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain.

Neutral Foot Type: A neutral foot type occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward to absorb impact. During push-off, pressure is evenly distributed from the front of the foot. This foot type provides effective shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries. People with normal-size arches typically have a neutral foot type.

Overpronation: Overpronation occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. During push-off, pressure is mainly applied to the big toe and second toe. People with low arches or flat feet are more likely to overpronate. Injuries associated with overpronation include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs.
