Asics key focus for the GT-1000™ 11 GTX shoe was to make this style waterproof and breathable. Thanks to its GORE-TEX™ upper, this shoe keeps the elements out when you’re running in wet conditions. FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning in the midsole is tuned with a lower density than the previous version. Teamed with GEL™ technology, this combination creates softer landings and smoother transitions. LITETRUSS™ technology is placed on the midsole’s inside angle to reduce pronation. It helps produce a more supportive stride while keeping overpronation at bay. GORE-TEX™ membrane helps prevent rain from entering the shoe's interior External heel counter improves the fit and helps increase stability LITETRUSS™ technology improves medial support and midfoot integrity FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning provides lightweight impact absorption Rearfoot GEL™ technology improves impact absorption and creates a softer feeling at footstrike OrthoLite™ X-30 sockliner provides soft step-in comfort
