ASICS GEL Foundation 10 review
ASICS GEL Foundation 10 carries on the tradition of ASICS GEL Foundation 9, but is much lighter and incorporates the latest running shoe technologies from ASICS. This ASICS GEL Foundation 10 review takes a closer look at this maximum support running shoe for overpronators.
The ASICS GEL Foundation 10 is targeted to runners who exhibit moderate to severe overpronation during their gait cycle, and provides maximum support to such runners.
The ASICS Foundation 10 is the upgraded version of the ASICS Foundation 9 thereby providing new features such as a lighter midsole and Guidance Line.
The ASICS GEL Foundation 10 is one of two motion control running shoes from ASICS, the other one being the ASICS Evolution 6.
ASICS Foundation 10 has a breathable open mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays for added support and a secure fit. What also helps keep your feet dry is the ComforDry Sockliner inside of the running shoe; it provides cushioning and has anti-odor properties.
At the back of the shoe, Personalized Heel Fit (PHF) helps provide your feet with extra stability around the heel as the collar adapts and molds to your heel.
The midsole of the ASICS Foundation 10 consists of SpEVA, which improves the bounce back effect and decreases midsole breakdown. And as with the ASICS Foundation 9, the ASICS GEL Foundation 10 has DuoMax positioned exactly where you need the most pronation control, support, and stability.
The ASICS GEL Foundation 10 has GEL cushioning both in the forefoot and in the heel. This GEL helps reduce shock during impact and toe-off, and allows the foot to move in multiple planes as it transitions through the gait cycle.
The outsole consists of durable rubber for durability. In addition, horizontal flex grooves and Guidance Line offer the flexibility you require and help you follow an efficient stride.
The GEL Foundation 10 is much lighter than its predecessor weighing in at 9.9 oz (281 grams) in the women's version of the running shoe. This makes the ASICS GEL Foundation 10 0.8 oz (23 grams) lighter than the ASICS GEL Foundation 9 when you compare motion control running shoes by weight.
The suggested retail price of the ASICS GEL Foundation 10 is US $100, which is the same price as its predecessor, the ASICS Foundation 9, when you compare motion control running shoes by price.
