The ASICS Jolt 5 Road Running Shoes are engineered to be a consistent and dependable partner for your daily runs. The combination of the EVA midsole and OrthoLite™ sockliner delivers significant cushioning, absorbing impact effectively and providing a comfortable, springy feel with each step. This makes them ideal for logging miles on pavements, asphalt, and gym treadmills, reducing fatigue over longer distances. The solid rubber outsole is not just for durability; its anti-slip profile ensures reliable grip, providing confidence on varied urban surfaces, even in damp conditions. The breathable mesh upper is crucial for maintaining foot comfort, especially during warmer weather or intense workouts, as it allows air to circulate freely, preventing overheating and moisture build-up. The accommodating forefoot fit ensures that your toes have room to splay naturally, which is vital for comfort and stability during the toe-off phase of your stride. These features make the Jolt 5 an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate runners looking for a versatile, cushioned, and breathable shoe for regular jogging, daily training, and general fitness activities.

Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period of a few short runs to fully adapt to the shoe's feel.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Product Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the shoe's product label for the most accurate guidance. Regular cleaning helps maintain breathability and extends the shoe's lifespan.
