Asics Gel-foundation 11

This was a contender for Best Update. The Foundation is a popular choice among wide-footed heavy overpronators, and Asics has made some impressive changes while retaining its core characteristics. The weight has dropped thanks to a lighter upper and midsole foam; a Guidance Line (a groove running along the length of the outsole) has been introduced to help with an efficient transition, and the outsole rubber has been toughened. Almost every tester said they were able to land how they pleased and the shoe did the corrective work for them.
