Motion Control. Moderate to severe overpronators will love the ASICS GEL-Forte™. The GEL-Forte™ takes a new approach on maximum support with the Dynamic DuoMax® support system that reduces weight while enhancing stability, leaving you with a lighter shoe that doesn't skimp on support.

Upper: P.H.F.™ (Personal Heel Fit) system features two layers of memory foam that line the collar and mold the athlete's foot. Exoskeletal Heel Clutching System™ improves support and creates an improved heel fitting environment.

Midsole: Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) design philosophy employs linked componentry that enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. Rearfoot and forefoot GEL® cushioning systems attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. Dynamic DuoMax® support system is the next evolution of the DuoMax® dual-density midsole support system that reduces weight while enhancing stability and support. Solyte® midsole material is lighter in weight than ASICS' standard EVA and SpEVA while still enhancing cushioning and durability. The Trusstic System® reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. Removable, ComforDry™ sockliner provides cushioning performance and anti-odor properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment.

Outsole: Guidance Line® vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency. AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is placed in critical areas of the outsole for exceptional durability.

        Comments about ASICS GEL-Forte Men Gray/Blue:

        I have been looking for shoes which can work for a heavier runner(>185). I am 193 pounds and 6 ft. 2 inches. Have had problems finding a good shoe. This is a great shoe for this. Others to consider are the Brooks Beast and New Balance 900 series.

        Service and delivery comments:

        great prices and service. Actually the least expensive place to shop with the best service.

          Had to return since the shoe was too tight, even for a 4E. Holabird was extremely professional and helpful with the return process. I've bought Asics shoes before and will buy in the future.

            Comments about ASICS GEL-Forte Men Gray/Blue:

            I have been wearing the New Balance 1123 shoe since it was upgraded from the 1122. I was extremely disappointed when the 1540 replaced the 1123. I'm a middle distance runner with flat feet that runs 25-45 miles per week depending on the season. I was extremely reluctant to try these shoes @ first. I've had these for over a week & have logged in over 25miles @ this point. They feel great on my feet & don't look like the typical motion control shoe with the bulky medial side. The added bonus is that they are extremely light weight. Job well done!

            • Q:

              I currently have a mizuno wave alchemy 12 shoe. It's a size 9 1/2 2e. What size asics gel-forte would be similar to the minuno shoe. Thanks in advance for your help.

                A:

                The Mizuno Alchemy tends to fit a little bit on the snug side, especially in the heel. The GEL-Forte also fits a bit on the snug side, so you should be fine getting the same size; however, if possible, you may want to also order a half size up as well to make sure that you can find the optimal fit.
