Asics Sonicblast Trainers - Blue - UK 11

The ASICS Sonicblast is designed for male adult runners who engage in speed training and are looking for enhanced performance on asphalt surfaces. It's ideal for those with a neutral gait.

The internal ASTROPLATE (TPU Plate) is designed to improve propulsion and optimize stride efficiency, helping runners maintain faster paces with less effort.

These advanced foam compounds provide superior cushioning and high energy return, meaning more of the energy you put into each step is returned, propelling you forward.

While they offer cushioning, their primary design is for speed training. For very long, slow runs, a shoe with maximum cushioning might be more comfortable, but they can be used for shorter endurance efforts.

The ASICS Sonicblast trainers weigh approximately 256 grams, making them lightweight for enhanced speed and reduced fatigue.

They are primarily designed for dry asphalt surfaces. While they may offer some grip in light wetness, performance and durability could be compromised in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

The ASICS Sonicblast trainers have an 8mm drop, which is considered a moderate drop, suitable for a natural running form for many runners.

The ASICS Sonicblast trainers are designed for performance and may feel firm initially. Wear them for shorter runs or break-in periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. They will become more comfortable with use.

Ensure your socks are suitable for running and provide adequate cushioning. Adjust the lacing to secure the heel without overtightening. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if the sizing is optimal.

The responsive cushioning is most effective when new. Over extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the foams and plate may naturally lose some of their responsiveness. Consider replacing the shoes after reaching this mileage threshold.
