Glossary:

Biomorphic Fit Upper

Stretchy material strategically placed on the upper which reduces bunching when the shoe moves reducing the risk of blisters and irritation

I.G.S (Impact Guidance System)

ASICS' design philosophy in which the individual components of the shoe work together resulting in a more comfortable step and improved gait

DuoMax Support System

Dual density midsole material positioned sport specifically which enhances support and stability by helping to correct the degree and velocity of pronation

Solyte Midsole Material

Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability

3M Reflectivity

Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company

Plus3

Plus3 refers to a 3mm raise of the heel compared to the forefoot. The effect this has is to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon. As women's hormonal levels fluctuate during their monthly cycle, the Achilles tendon becomes lax or stretches, increasing the potential for injury. Plus3 reduces the load and tension on the Achilles tendon and reduces the risk of injuries

Space Trusstic System

Plastic bridge under the arch creating a pocket between it and the midsole which improves flexibility and gives the shoe strength and stability

AHAR (Asics High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability

DuraSponge

DuraSponge is a blown AHAR compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot. ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole

Propulsion Plate

Plate in the sole which provides stability in the forefoot and offers flexibility for additional comfort

Wet Grip Upper

Sole material made from a special blend of organic and non-organic components designed to enhance traction even on wet surfaces

ComforDry Sockliner

Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler
