The ASICS Men’s GEL Venture 5 Trail Running Shoe Review

A good and classy running shoe is every man’s pride whenever he is out running. Running in the right kind of shoes makes the whole process enjoyable, unlike when you have the wrong shoes.

There are many running shoe models, but none can match the ASICS Men’s GEL Venture 5 Trail Running Shoe. This new model has a package of improved features, which makes it even better.

Features

Rear foot gel cushioning—This is the latest technology in running shoes that makes them suitable for most athletes. This technology utilizes silicon materials which provide a cushioning effect on the heel, thus enabling it to absorb shock. This provides protection to the foot and ankle by reducing the impact force created while running
Rugged outsole—These shoes are suitably worn in different environments because of the rugged outsole feature. It provides grip in muddy terrain unlike other running shoes. They will also help you move over rocky terrains, gravel and sandy soil. The rugged outer sole provides protection to the foot in such areas
Resilient mid-sole—They are fitted with a mid-sole that provides cushioning of the feet, which aids in absorbing shock when running over rocky terrains. They also enhance comfort while running because of the cushioning materials
Synthetic fabric—Wearing running shoes with the wrong type of materials can cause injuries, including blisters on the foot. They also tend to be very uncomfortable for the wearers. These shoes are, however, made using a synthetic material which is a light-tech fabric; it does not allow the feet to absorb moisture when you sweat because it draws the moisture away from the skin. The synthetic materials include Lycra, nylon and polyesters. They allow air to circulate in the shoes and feet as you run, thus keeping your feet dry and clean
