The GEL-ARATA G-TX has been the top comfort walking shoe for years. Its casual outdoor look combines with a walking-specific design aimed at comfort and durability. The shoe's Forefoot and Rearfoot GEL Cushioning help absorb the forces of heel strike and toe-off, while the flexible forefoot allows for easier propulsion. DuoMax Support lends stability and support throughout. The GEL-ARATA features a Gore-Tex upper to ensure protection against the elements.

Technologies

AHAR

ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compund used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.

SpEVA

SpEVA is a proprietary midsole material that improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.

I.G.S.

The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

Soft Top DuoMax

Soft Top Duomax is a softer top layer of the Duomax midsole. Together with the Gender Specific Space Trusstic, Soft Top Duomax accommodates for fluctuations in women's hormonal levels which cause the foot arches to be lowered, creating more pressure on the plantar fascia. By using a lower-density material, Soft Top Duomax provides a more comfortable transition from heel strike to toe-off without sacrificing stability.

SpEVA

SpEVA is a proprietary midsole material that improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning refers to the inclusion of specially formulated Solyte material in the forefoot. The material's density is reduced, allowing the female foot to compress it sufficiently and benefit fully from the bounce-back qualities of Solyte. Traditionally, women's running shoes contained cushioning material of the same density as men's. However, as women are usually lighter than men, the female foot would not fully compress the material, resulting in a less than optimal ride. Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning addresses this issue and provides women with a more comfortable and responsive ride. The cushioning material, located under the ball of the foot and extending across the width of the shoe, also acts as an efficient shock absorber.

Trusstic System

The Trusstic System is a light-weight moulded component which links the rearfoot and forefoot and shores the midfoot as it prepares for propulsion.

Space Trusstic

The Space Trusstic System is an advanced system that creates a pocket between the Trusstic System device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function.
