ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 24 Women's Running Shoes

The product's engineered mesh upper wraps the foot comfortably while enhancing breathability. The ASICS LITE rubber outsole is lighter, stronger, and more sustainable than standard outsole rubbers, with AHAR rubber further improving durability.

Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. Trusstic System technology reduces the sole unit's weight while retaining the shoe's structural integrity.

Regarding the shoe's fit and feel, the knit tongue construction comfortably wraps the foot with a softer and more supportive sensation across the top of the foot. The FF BLAST PLUS cushioning keeps the shoe lightweight while providing a softer underfoot feel.

The shoe is designed for road running, with a 13mm heel-toe drop and a weight of 247g/8.7oz. It offers a neutral support system, providing maximum cushioning for underpronation, where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. Underpronators may experience pressure on their outer toes and are prone to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, often having high arches.

In contrast, a neutral foot type lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. The push-off experience is an even distribution from the front of the foot, and getting hurt is less likely due to the effective shock absorption, though not impossible. Individuals with normal-sized arches generally have a neutral foot type.

Overpronation, on the other hand, is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, transferring excess weight. This can lead to pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, resulting in conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit overpronation.

The shoe offers various protection and performance benefits, including stability for a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, comfort for cushioning to prioritize soft landings and impact absorption, energy return for a bouncy, trampoline-like feel and forward propulsion, and racing features for a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish.
