Best for runners with flat feet. Duomax Duomax is made of two different kinds of foams, which prevents overpronation. It runs like an old technology shoe but with a current technology price tag. It is loaded with lots of techs. This system adds to the shoe's stability while running on uneven surfaces.
Running almost the full length of the outsole is a vertical cut that is also called the Guidance Line. The traditional lacing system helps the rest of the upper in locking the foot in the interior chamber and preventing it from quivering during the run. This platform technology offers a lightweight yet springy ride. The shoe feels more responsive the faster you run in it, and the shoe digs in and grips well on uphill and downhill runs. Thin prints adorn the sides and the instep.
This outsole material is also used in. It makes me wonder whether there was a conflict between someone who wanted to design the shoe as a neutral FlyteFoam-based trainer and someone who wanted to preserve the shoe as a Duomax light stability shoe. Asics used to boast that their shoes needed no break-in period. I would encourage these individuals to take version 24 for a test run before electing to purchase it. The similarities between Asics and 361 Degrees products have been pointed out by many reviewers.
It does not cause any issue like sliding or irritation. It has a very sleek upper and very modern and eye-catching knit pattern. Responsiveness This shoe is not as responsive as one would expect from a shoe that is meant to go fast. But, the way it performs does not justify the price point. The Malibu will get you to your destination but put aside any notion of excitement. The shoe is likely to satisfy the expectations of new runners who run in one shoe at a time.
The tongue on the shoe is comfortable, unobtrusive and stays centered. A softer blown rubber, which is known in Asics lingo as DuraSponge, is utilized in the forefoot for more traction. I took them on a 10-mile run, and after 6 miles, the FlyteFoam felt dead. Midsole Asics loads a hell lot of technology in their midsole. These seemingly inconsequential layers are meant to support the foot and keep it in place. After putting 20 miles in these, the outsole looks almost new.
The line makes the landing to toe-off movement efficient and smooth. . The outsole design is very typical of , except for the well-appreciated enhanced forefoot treading. It comes with a sense of youthful adventure included at no charge. Traction Asics's high abrasion rubber is of great quality.
During my first run in the shoe, my mind wanted to compare it to a Zoot Sports shoe the company sadly no longer produces running shoes. It will get the job done under most conditions. It has ventilation pores that permit air into the foot-chamber, thereby ensuring a cool and dry running session. The is an example of a product that also uses this feature. This is an excellent option for experienced or elite athletes who want a do-it-all shoe that takes on speed and distance with ease. The toe box is wide enough, so runners with wide feet will not face any kind of problem in fit.
Ground feel This shoe has a high ground feel, which is required in any fast shoe. Both have a moderately wide cut forefoot. They also make sure to bolster and maintain the structural integrity of the façade. The very simply simple upper is largely a combination of very breathable open mesh with minimal bonded overlays around the midfoot. Runners who tend to pronate more should look towards other options. I found the FlyteFoam cushioning not as responsive as one would like in their fast shoe. Asics logo is also on the lateral side of the upper for added lateral support.
The midfoot has sufficient security while an external heel counter locks down the rear portion. Fast and fleet runners will no doubt like the firm cushioning upfront, but I suspect that a high percentage of general runners would appreciate added flexibility under their toes. Faster, lightweight runners would probably do better to use a racing flat. Some retailers, like Running Warehouse, view it as a mild stability shoe but the Asics website is explicit:. It is also generously layered, allowing it to have better longevity.
