The outsole of the ASICS Gel-Lique's are made out of rubber which is designed to not only be highly durable, but it will also be able to give you a decent amount of flexibility so you will get a more natural movement to your feet with each step that you take. The sole is thick and slightly inclined, although it is unclear on what the exact heel to toe drop in of the sneakers. Having a pair of shoes with a slight drop, or incline can be beneficial because it can help reduce the risk of some minimal injuries, according to some experts, because it can help prevent some more excessive heel striking while you are running, keeping some impact off of your joints. These sneakers are not considered minimalist shoes, as they do have a slight incline, but what they do offer is a low drop which is more akin to running barefoot than those with a higher heel to toe drop.

The outsole is also going to provide you with a decent grip to give you excellent traction while you are out running. The sticky rubber combined with the tread design on the bottom of the soles helps you dig your feet in and keep your grip on a variety of surfaces. The sneakers are considered to be more of a road running shoe, and as such should probably be worn when you are venturing out on roads or even if you are staying indoors and running on a treadmill. If you are planning on walking the dirt trails or trekking up gravel roads, then something else might be better suited for your needs. As long as you are running on relatively flat and non-abrasive surfaces, then you should have no problems with the traction of these sneakers.

The midsole of the ASICS's that features a Gel sole cushioning to give you a highly comfortable underfoot feeling that your feet can appreciate.

Not only will it help absorb some of the impacts from your steps but it is also highly responsive so you will get a decent energy return while you are out on the run. This foam will allow your feet to sink deep down into the sole with you hit the ground, and then it will bounce back up and push your forward, keeping you going and saving just a little bit of energy while you run. This will help you be able to push yourself a little more while you are out, giving you a slight edge against opponents in a race, or help you achieve your personal best time.
