Main features of the ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GTX

ASICS is one of the big brands with an extensive catalogue of trail running shoes for different runner profiles. With the ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GTX it intends to reach those profiles that are new to trail running and do not need the technologies and features of the most prominent shoes of the Japanese brand.

The ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GTX retains the same essence and versatility as its sister shoe, the ASICS Gel Sonoma 7 that is so popular and represent a life insurance to enjoy our mountain routes, not only for running ast they can also be used for hiking outings.

At least 20% of the shoe's main upper material is made from recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions, a commitment by ASICS, like most brands these days, to improve sustainability throughout the shoes' manufacturing process.

The ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GTX features a GORE-TEX membrane that helps keep our feet warm and dry at all times when running in wet conditions and wet terrain.

The ASICS Gel-Sonoma 7 GTX features some of the most outstanding technologies of the Japanese brand. It has AMPLIFOAM technology that provides good cushioning to help create a soft and flexible feeling underfoot.

GEL technology, as the shoe's name lets us know, is incorporated in the rear part, one of the most veteran and recognised technologies of the Japanese brand. The Gel located in the heel area improves shock absorption and creates a softer feel in our footstrikes.

It should be noted that the insole of the shoe has been manufactured under a solution dyeing process, which reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technology.

Finally, the trail-specific outsole is effective in providing advanced traction. Its design helps us to experience a secure footstrike on uphill and downhill sections of difficult terrain.
