Neutral

• Foot Type

  Normal size arches

• Push Off

  There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

• Considered Injuries

  Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.

• How your foot contacts the ground

  The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

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.

The GEL-KINSEI® MAX trainer takes the experience of running on clouds to the next level. It’s been redesigned for runners who want every step to feel like it’s oozing with softness.​

The tooling is modified with our FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning for the midsole’s top layer. This helps provide cloud-like comfort while creating an energized feel at toe-off. ​

A TPU midsole plate is positioned in the center of the midsole to provide a more dynamic toe-off. It also works in tandem with the new rubber foaming and Hybrid GEL® technology to help create smoother underfoot transitions.
