The Asics Gel-DS Trainer 21 is the lightweight favourite of the structured cushioning, light yet featuring a plethora of excellent features and technology whilst maintaining excellent arch support. The Impact Guidance System enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off improving the efficiency and comfort of your foot-strike and movement whilst asymmetrical lacing creates an anatomically correct lacing environment that reduces potential for irritation and provides improved comfort and fit. With rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning systems employed it attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. Featuring DuoMax - an ASICS proprietary system consisting of two or more different density midsole materials, designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation. Biomorphic Fit technology allows the upper of the shoe to move in harmony with the foot, giving more comfort while in motion. This fit means the shoe material does not bunch, reducing the risk of blisters or irritation. The ComforDry Sockliner provides cushioning performance and anti-microbial properties for a cooler, drier and healthier environment. A Solyte Midsole, a spongy layer between the sole and upper absorbs shock and cushions the foot, while a lightweight heel counter on the outside of the upper provides additional fitting and support around the heel. This shoe will even perform in the wettest conditions. It is constructed from WetGrip RubberSponge, a blend of organic and non-organic components designed to enhance traction on wet surfaces. To add to this, the Wet Grip Rubber Outsole provides this extra traction on the outside of the shoe. The Heel Clutching System features an Exoskeletal heel counter to provide improved support and create an improved heel fitting environment. A supreme level of comfort is provided through an asymmetrical lacing design that reduces the potential for irritation and provides excellent comfort and fit. The 360 degree memory foam lining the collar and tongue creates a stabilized fit for ankles of those wearing the shoes.
