(1) Shoe Type: Stability

(2) Transition through toe-off. Asics tweaked the shoe's lacing pattern slightly so it faithfully follows the topline of the foot. Testers couldn't say enough about the soft cushioning and outstanding fit of this shoe. Of course, like most stability shoes, the Kayano is still on the hefty side, and that's why we recommend it for bigger runners.

(3) Until now, the GEL-KAYANO shoes have been one of the Asics running shoes. Every year loyal wearers wait to try the next evolution of the shoe they like. Especially for the latest 17th GEL-KAYANO, because this is an IGS development the transition through the 3 phases of gait is very smooth and efficient. This Mens GEL-KAYANO trainer has an enhanced upper fit and improved forefoot comfort.
