Gel-Tech Walker Neo
Asics designed these trainers to follow the walker's gait from heel-touch to toe-off with its walking-specific outsole path technology. The lacing design is asymmetrical to improve comfort and fit. Only weighing in at 9.5 oz, it sufficiently supports the foot without the bulk--even with two layers of memory foam lining its collar for better fit.
