ASICS Women's GEL-NIMBUS 24 Running Shoes

Engineered mesh upper wraps the foot in a soft, breathable feel. The ASICS LITE rubber outsole is lighter, stronger, and more sustainable than standard options, while the AHAR outsole material improves durability. ASICS' Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System attenuates shock during impact and toe-off, allowing natural foot movement through the gait cycle. The Trusstic System technology reduces the sole unit's weight while retaining structural integrity.

This shoe is suitable for a variety of running environments, including road surfaces. It has a 13mm heel drop and weighs 247g/8.7oz, providing a neutral, maximally cushioned ride.

Foot type and gait analysis: Underpronation (high arches): The outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. Pressure is experienced on the outer toes during push-off. This can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain.

Neutral foot type (normal arches): The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact. Push-off is evenly distributed across the forefoot. This foot type is less prone to injury, although not immune.

Overpronation (low arches/flat feet): The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. Push-off is concentrated on the big and second toes. This can contribute to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs.

Shoe recommendations based on foot type and protection needs: Stability: Provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the optimal position to help prevent injury. Examples: GT-1000, TRABUCO CUSHION. Comfort: Prioritizes soft landings and impact absorption, maintaining comfort on longer runs. Examples: GEL-PULSE, TRABUCO MAX BOUNCE. Energy return: Offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel with energy return to propel the runner forward. Examples: SUPERBLAST, DYNABLAST SPEED. Racing: Lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping conserve energy. Examples: METASPEED, MAGIC SPEED.
