The Gel-DS Trainer 17 from Asics will meet your running needs. If you’re looking for a supportive, yet lightweight trainer these running shoes are perfect for you. Guidance Line helps the foot maintain an efficient path through the gait cycle while the upper features a Clutch Collar System which provides the ultimate in comfort.

This shoe is designed specifically for neutral to mild over pronators. The redesigned upper features a range of new technology to improve fit and performance. The shoe incorporates the Asics Impact Guidance System, this ensures individual components of the shoe work together to improve gait. The rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning system places a silicone based material in critical areas of the sole to reduce shock and therefore reduce the risk of injury.

The dynamic DuoMax Support System further enhances support and stability while the ComforDry Sockliner insole is placed inside the shoe to keep your foot dry and cool. Solyte in the lower midsole effectively adbsorbs shock and cushions the foot, this performs better in comparison to SpEVA and EVA materials.

The clever Biomorphic Fit Upper incorporates stretchy material which is strategically placed on the upper. This reduces bunching when the shoe moves to reduce irritation when you run. The Assymetrical Lacing Design follows the natural curve of the foot to again improve fit.

The Asics Gel DS Trainer 17 runners are available in both mens and womens however stock is limited at this stage.
