The GEL-TRAIL SENSOR 5 trail running shoe is packed with technologies for a superior feel and excellent ride across all off-road terrains. Built around the linked componentry of the ASICS Impact Guidance System that enhances the foots natural gait from heel strike to toe-off, it also embraces the Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning System that eases the shock experienced during the impact and toe-off phases, a full length Trail Sensor System that enables parts of the midsole to decouple for optimal traction on uneven terrain. The Trusstic System reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. For protection and durability, theres a Rock Protection Plate and ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber thats placed in critical areas of the outsole for exceptional durability. A Trail Specific Outsole features reversed lugs for excellent uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain. Inner Locking Lacing support the ankle and enhance stability with two straps that wrap around the foot when the GEL-TRAIL SENSOR 5 is laced.

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.
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.
SOLYTE MIDSOLE MATERIAL - Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.
TRUSSTIC SYSTEM - Plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility.
FULL LENGTH TRAIL SENSOR SYSTEM - Parts of the midsole are able to separate ensuring there is maximum surface contact while running improving traction.
ROCK PROTECTION PLATE - Rugged plate in the sole which protects the foot from sharp objects such as rocks and branches.
INNER LOCK LACING SYSTEM - Two-layer lacing which separately fastens the outer and inner sides of the shoe and internal straps to secure the foot within the shoe improving fit and stability.
AHAR (ASICS HIGH ABRASION RESISTANT RUBBER) - Tough material placed in critical areas of the shoe for exceptional durability.
TRAIL SPECIFIC OUTSOLE - Reversed lugs on the sole which provides uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain.
COMFORDRY SOCKLINER - Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.
LACE POCKET - Pocket on the tongue to tuck the laces away to prevent them catching on uneven terrain.
