Sporting the GUIDESOLE™ technology in the sole that is the key function in the GLIDERIDE™ shoe. Here is how it works: Improved cushioning reduces muscle load at foot strike. It does this with a combination of FLYTEFOAM™ technology and GEL™ technology cushioning. More to the point the stiff forefoot and dynamically curved sole increase running efficiency by reducing the movement of the ankle joint. A lower degree of ankle flexion means other muscles, such as the calf, don\\\'t have to work as hard. Too much ankle movement at speed wastes energy. The shoe\\\'s centre of mass is closer to the heel, so it\\\'s easier to swing the foot forward. Then the fluid rolling motion you feel in this shoe actually propels the foot forward for increased efficiency by reducing the forward movement of the ankle. This lets you run farther with less effort. These characteristics give runners an experience unlike anything they\\\'ve ever felt before. The GLIDERIDE™ shoe with GUIDESOLE™ technology lets you conserve energy for efficient runs. It\\\'s something you have to feel to believe. > Mens running shoes > Standard width > SOLYTE midsole > SpEVA midsole > Moulded super colour AHAR rubber sponge > External heel counter > GEL technology to the rear > ORTHOLITE lasting > EVA sockliner > GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC technology > GUIDESOLE technology > Reflective details > Asics branding > Upper: Synthetic / textile > Inner: Textile > Sole: Synthetic
