GEL-SONOMA 7
The GEL-SONOMA™ 7 shoe is designed for the great outdoors. It's a durable trail model that's made to provide good grip on off-road surfaces.
Underfoot comfort stems from a full-length AMPLIFOAM™ midsole and GEL® technology unit that's strategically placed where cushioning is needed.
Lastly, the trail-specific outsole is functional for providing advanced traction. Its pattern helps you experience a confident stride on the uphill and downhill sections of challenging terrain.
- Engineered mesh upper helps improve breathability
- At least 20% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions
- The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology
- AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning helps create a soft and flexible feeling underfoot
- Rearfoot GEL® technology improves impact absorption and creates a softer feeling at footstrike
- Solid rubber outsole
Designed For Neutral/Underpronation
Neutral
Foot Type: Normal-size arches.
Push-Off: You experience even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries: Getting hurt is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body.
Underpronation
Foot Type: High arches.
Push-Off: The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
Considered Injuries: Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
