Asics Pulse 17 Logo Print Lace-Up Sneakers

Shaped for the shift from tarmac to gravel, the Asics Gel-Pulse 17 TR sets an engineered mesh upper over a FlyteFoam Blast midsole with a 38 mm heel stack and an 8 mm drop. Deeper lugs than the road version bite into loose ground, while an internal heel counter holds the rearfoot steady. Cushioning is moderate and protective underfoot rather than springy. **Product Highlights** • Lugged AHAR outsole with AHARPLUS rubber at the heel, holding up past 800 km of running • Ortholite insole adding a cushioned layer underfoot • Toe bumper shielding the forefoot from rocks and loose stones • Pull-tabs at the tongue and heel for quicker entry • Mesh lining that keeps the interior soft against the foot **Best For** • Beginner runners building up to a first half-marathon • Gravel paths, dirt roads, and light trails linked by stretches of tarmac • Gym cross-training sessions and long walks on hard pavement • Wider feet, which may want a half size up given the narrow forefoot
