ASICS Women's GEL-CONTEND 8 Running Shoes

These shoes feature an ENGINEERED JACQUARD MESH UPPER that stretches with the foot's natural motion, creating a comfortable fit while improving airflow. The AMPLIFOAM cushioning helps to enhance the durability of the shoe.

The GEL Technology in the shoes improves impact absorption and generates a softer feeling at footstrike. These shoes are designed for ROAD surfaces and have a 10 mm HEEL DROP. The WEIGHT of the shoes is 220g/7.7 oz, and they offer REGULAR CUSHIONING with a NEUTRAL SUPPORT.

UNDERPRONATION, also known as SUPINATION, is a foot type where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. This leads to pressure on the outer toes during push-off and can result in conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with this foot type typically have high arches.

On the other hand, a NEUTRAL FOOT TYPE is when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. This results in even distribution of pressure during push-off, and the risk of injury is generally lower due to the efficient shock absorption, although it is not impossible to get hurt. Individuals with this foot type tend to have normal-sized arches.

OVERPRONATION is a condition where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. This leads to pressure primarily on the big toe and second toe during push-off and can contribute to issues like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet are more prone to this foot type.
