Here at ASICS, we maintain our approach of protecting rugby players through superior research and development.
HG10mm is a 10mm Heel Gradient (or rise) which can help alleviate stress on the lower limbs. It shifts the wearer forward in a position to engage the first metatarsal, or ball of the foot - putting them in a better or more responsive position to take off and/or change direction.
In recent years, across all codes and at all levels - injuries to the lower limbs have become all too common on the rugby field. Especially on firm ground surfaces. By alleviating the stress on the lower limbs, ASICS HG10mm aims to lessen the potential risk of injury while delivering fast response and performance to the wearer.
