The new Asics Gecko XT shoes are the new bet of Asics running to continue to maintain its leading position in the trail running segment. The Asics Gecko XT stand out for mounting one of the lightest midsoles on the market, up to 55% lighter according to the Japanese brand.
The Asics Gecko XT is also classified as an all-terrain shoe with superior cushioning than the rest, thanks to the incorporation of the latest generation of Asics technologies, such as the FlyteFoam midsole or the innovative GeckoTrac compound in the outsole. These two features make the Asics Gecko XT an ideal model for mountain runners of any level, who aim to adapt to all types of terrain, while being faster runners.
As we have already mentioned, one of the strong points of the Asics Gecko XT is its innovative FlyteFoam midsole. This type of compound is one of Asics Running's star materials, which is already included in its most iconic models for asphalt, such as the Asics Gel Nimbus 20, the Asics Metarun, and the Asics Gel Kayano 24, among others. In this way, the Japanese brand seeks to enhance the performance of its trail running shoes.
We remind you that FlyteFoam is a material that will help you to be a faster runner and improve your performance in each stride, since it is a very reactive cushioning system.
In this sense, the Asics Gecko XT are pioneers, being the first trail running shoes from the Japanese company to incorporate the exclusive FlyteFoam.
In the upper of the Asics Gecko XT, Asics designers have chosen to implement a technical mesh that seeks to offer more comfort and flexibility. It is noteworthy that they include an adjustment on the inside of the instep area in order to increase comfort in the footstrike.
Another detail to take into account in the Gecko XT is located in the lacing system. Here a practical inner pocket is incorporated into the tongue of the shoe to store the laces, which reinforces the aesthetic aspect of the model.
In addition to the innovative FlyteFoam midsole, the main feature of the Asics Gecko XT is the GeckoTrac outsole. This system is characterized by adapting to any type of terrain, offering superior traction and grip, even on wet surfaces. Thanks to this compound, the Japanese manufacturer also increases the durability of this all-terrain shoe. The Gecko XT also comes with a rock protection plate, as well as a new toe cap reinforcement. The result is to run with more safety and confidence in mountain terrain.
Finally, in the technical specifications section, the Asics Gecko XT have a 6mmdrop, and a weight of 285 gr in the men's model and 240 gr for women.
