The ASICS Lady GEL-PHOENIX 5 Running Shoes feature rearfoot and forefoot gel cushioing to attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases to allow movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. A full length guidance line with flex grooves to decouple the tooling along the line of progression provides enhanced gait efficiency as you run. An SpEVA midsole lasting material provides a soft but stable platform that improves bounce back characteristics while the Trusstic System reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe for a lightweight ride underfoot. A California slip last ensures increased stability and comfort while AHAR+ rubber is placed on high abrasion areas for improved durability and great traction underfoot.
