The Gel Innovate 7 from Asics is a shoe with a classic construction, in the style that accompanied this brand a couple of years ago. Although aesthetically it is not a very current shoe, it has some points that should be taken into account as favorable for a number of specific runners, such as pronators and those who are starting in running. For two reasons, for its stabilizing technology that corrects the pronation of the foot, and for being a shoe that will cost us very little money, and with the durability it offers us, it is undoubtedly a perfect running shoe for any beginner, which adapts perfectly to slow paces with the comfort characteristics of the Japanese brand.
This shoe was launched a few years ago, although the brand continues to present new color combinations. This model requires some updating in that aspect, meanwhile it continues to please the most classic runners who have opted for that mesh so characteristic of Asics with synthetic leather overlays in the areas most sensitive to wear. On the bottom of the shoe, we have the Duomax cushioning system, composed of a dual-density foam made to maximize comfort during your daily runs, and a rubber outsole with good grip and grip for asphalt.
If we have to give an identity to this shoe, it is a pronator, a perfect shoe for runners with a pronated footprint. That is why the brand has devised a stabilizing system specifically designed for this type of runner. Thus avoiding the kind of long-term injuries that often have runners with this type of footprint.
These shoes are available in unisex form for men and women who don't care too much about the pace of their daily runs. The shoe carries with it a structure that provides quality stabilization and durability for running on a daily basis. As far as technical specifications are concerned, it is worth noting its 10 mm drop and a weight of 310 grams, which is somewhat excessive compared to the brand's current running shoes.
