ASICS Gel Fortitude 7

Runners who have trouble finding a good running shoe due to overpronation, flat foot problems, poor arch flexibility during running or fallen arches will find the ASICS Gel Fortitude 7 the ideal shoe so they don't have to sacrifice their passion for the sport.

With improved energy transition on the return to ground, a superior level of comfort and ideal pronation control, with the seventh installment of the Fortitude, ASICS has earned its place among athletes by moving away from the old-school orthopedic shoe by offering a modern, eye-catching option.

Cushioning to the max

If there's one repeated comment about these shoes, it's about their surprising level of comfort and cushioning. ASICS ' first point of departure in achieving this has been the incorporation of SpEVA rubber in the midsole of the shoe which improves energy return after impact with the ground.

This midsole integrates seamlessly with the gel in the heel and forefoot section, which attenuates impact for a better transition and a more fluid foot motion throughout the running cycle.

ASICS' proprietary Guidance Line and Guidance Trusstic System technologies provide additional support and improve running efficiency by enhancing structural integrity in the midfoot.

Seamless upper

The upper construction is one of the significant improvements the company has made to the ASICS Gel Fortitude 7, which is now designed to offer improved breathability and comfort. The seamless construction not only allows air to better circulate through the shoe, but also prevents the occurrence of irritation or discomfort caused by frequent use.

The toe area is now wider than in previous releases, which allows the shoe to better accommodate runners with a wider foot or those who have to use orthopedic insoles, however, it also offers a good grip on this section of the foot for those with a medium or narrow foot.

More flexible sole

The outsole of the ASICS Gel Fortitude 7 incorporates DuraSponge material that allows for greater flexibility of the foot for a more natural motion, even for those with midfoot flexibility issues. The material is also highly abrasion resistant and allows for continued use of the shoe without rapid wear and tear.

The Fortitude 7 is also an excellent value for money choice, especially for those who need a running shoe with special support. With a weight of 346 grams for men and 289 grams for women, and a 10mm drop, they are ideal companions for medium paced workouts.
