ASICS Women's Gel-Excite 4 Running Shoe

Asics GEL-EXCITE 4 The energetic design of the GEL-Excite 4 features a Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System and breathable mesh upper for everyday comfort. This new update is a great choice for low mileage runners seeking a great fit and cushioned ride, as well as a design created with every day usage and versatility in mind. Breathable Mesh Upper The GEL-EXCITE 4's upper features a breathable synthetic mesh design which allows hot air to diffuse out of the shoe, and cool air to permeate the membrane and pass into the shoe. This helps to create a cool, dry environment within the shoe and results in increased comfort for the wearer. The upper also features overlays which help to maintain the upper's shape, while also supporting the feet and providing stability. Additional reflective elements work to keep you illuminated during low-light training; the sleek, stylish design helps this shoe to function as a versatile everyday running shoe. SpEVA Midsole The GEL-EXCITE 4 features a SpEVA midsole, which helps to add a bounce to your step. The SpEVA unit minimises the energy lost during the gait cycle and channels it into your movements with its springy properties, thereby helping you to minimise energy loss and perform at a higher level for longer. The SpEVA midsole also provides durability to help extend your shoes' lifespan. The rearfoot GEL pod provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact, resulting in a smoother ride and less stress being placed upon the wearer's joints. AHAR Outsole Asics High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) is incorporated into the design of the EXCITE 4's outsole. AHAR is a lightweight rubber that offers superb traction, and three times more durability than Asics' standard rubber. AHAR is strategically placed in high stress areas of the outsole to provide sustained durability and increase the shoes' lifespan. The outsole also features blown rubber, which provides extra cushioning, givin
