The ASICS GEL-3030 is a premium shoe combining performance and stability. This shoe has GEL in the fore and rear foot for optimal shock absorption. Continuing on the success of its predecessor, the GEL-3020, this version now employs the Forefoot Guidance Line that encourages a better running style and reduces energy wastage. Research carried out on gender differences in running has led to specific technologies being included in the GEL-3030. 3mm of height has been added to the heel of the womens version to relieve Achilles tension and a pocket of air in the sole allows for the normal periodic changes in the arch of the foot. Asymmetric lacing gives greater comfort and better fit, the sockliner has been upgraded to the X40 ComforDry version for a healthier shoe environment and the upper has been made with a high tech eco-friendly material.

I.G.S. (IMPACT GUIDANCE SYSTEM) - ASICS design philosophy in which the individual components of the shoe work together resulting in a more comfortable step and an improved gait.
STABILITY CRADLE - Molded midsole component which enhances guidance and fit.
REARFOOT AND FOREFOOT GEL CUSHIONING SYSTEMS - Silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the sole which dampens shock when the foot hits the ground allowing for a smooth movement through the step and reducing the risk of injury.
COMFORDRY SOCKLINER - Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.
BIOMORPHIC FIT UPPER - Stretchy material strategically placed on the upper which reduces bunching when the shoe moves reducing the risk of blisters and irritation.
DUOMAX SUPPORT SYSTEM - Dual density midsole material positioned sport specifically which enhances support and stability.
GENDER SPECIFIC SPACE TRUSSTIC - Lightweight plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility with space which allows for the normal periodic changes in the shape of a womens arch.
PLUS3 - Additional 3mm of cushioning under the heel on womens models which increases comfort and relieves tension on the Achilles tendon.
