Asics GEL-Xalion 3 The GEL-XALION 2 is inspired by the ASICS natural running series. The lower drop and the more flexible midsole of the shoe convey a more direct floor feel and a natural running experience. Despite its light weight, no compromises have been made in terms of support or durability. The GEL cushioning system in the rear foot area ensures optimal shock absorption while running and thus protects the foot. The EVA insole is an insertable soft inner lining in the shoe that can be removed and washed or replaced with orthopedic insoles.
