ASICS Gel-Excite 9 Women's Running Shoes
The GEL-EXCITE 9 shoe is a comfortable trainer for the casual fitness runner. With an engineered jacquard mesh upper, this material increases airflow while creating a softer feel against your foot. A combination of AMPLIFOAM cushioning and GEL technology are placed in the midsole. These features provide better durability with a more forgiving landing at footstrike.
Breathable Mesh Upper
The breathable mesh surrounding the upper of the ASICS Gel-Excite 9 Running Shoes will keep your feet comfortable, allowing cool air to permeate and preventing an intolerable build-up of heat. Moisture from sweat is also able to escape out of the shoe, whilst liquid on the surface of the material is wicked away instantly, keeping the shoes at their lightweight feel. No-sew overlays improve support whilst reducing the overall weight and providing excellent durability. A moulded heel section will ensure the rearfoot will always be held in a comfortable and upright position, keeping you more centred on the platform of the shoe, offering an even better fit than the previous model. A traditional lacing system will allow you to find a firm and comfortable fit all the way up the feet, guaranteeing a personalised and non-restrictive fit. A padded tongue and ankle collar will reduce the risk of irritation from rubbing, whilst also enhancing comfort.
Amplifoam Midsole
The midsole technology consists of an Amplifoam unit which is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, providing better flexibility, comfort and platform adaptability ideal for natural running. Lightweight and resilient, Amplifoam spares your joints as you strike down on hard, unforgiving surfaces. In addition, a rearfoot gel cushioning system resides in the heel to provide exceptional shock absorption from impact forces during the heel strike phase of the gait cycle. The gel spares your joints from unforgiving surfaces as you pound in the miles. Additionally, there is a removable Ortholite sockliner which will provide you with personalised cushioning, making mile after mile feel exceptionally comfortable. Equipped with a Guidance Line technology, this technology helps the foot experience a more natural and consistent stride.
Injection Rubber Outsole
An injection rubber outsole adds lightness and improves durability, while the strategically placed flex grooves are more flexible when you're running or wearing casually throughout the day. The durable rubber used on the outsole of the shoe is abrasion-resistant which will prevent any damage from occurring over a long period of time exposed to hard ground. The rubber compound offers higher densities in high-impact areas of the outsole where the most wear occurs throughout the miles, this helps reduce the wear and tear allowing you to run harder and for longer.
