The key focus of the Asics GT-1000 11 (Wide) shoe was to make it softer and smoother, so that the functional design can complement an active lifestyle. FLYTEFOAM cushioning in the midsole is tuned with a lower density than the previous version. Teamed with GEL technology, this combination creates softer landings and smoother transitions. LITETRUSS technology is placed on the medial side of the midsole for support and protection. It helps produce a more supportive stride while keeping overpronation at bay.
