The GEL-CONTEND™ 7 running shoe provides excellent cushioning for runners seeking a combination of durability and support.Designed with an engineered mesh upper,this application stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates an excellent fit.The synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.By following a more sustainable design approach,this shoe also uses fewer resources to color the sockliner.The reliable cushioning stems from rearfoot GEL® technology,a durable AMPLIFOAM™ midsole,and an ORTHOLITE™ sockliner that are each designed to improve comfort and provide excellent shock absorption.Following the natural progression of the foot,GUIDANCE LINE™ technology helps generate a more natural and consistent stride.Additionally,the flex grooves in the outsole increase the shoe's flexibility during your step-creating a more natural feel from footstrike to toe-off.
