Product Description
Product Description
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO continues to be the top selling ASICS running shoe and the latest update has been developed to encourage the most efficient and comfortable ride yet. This version is also the lightest GEL-KAYANO ever thanks to a premium, two-density sole which offers a softer feel when running on hard surfaces. The Guidance Line is a groove which runs the length of the shoe’s sole. It focuses the weight of the runner’s every step encouraging a smoother, more efficient ride that results in less fatigue and wasted energy. Comfort is a major focus of every ASICS shoe. The GEL-KAYANO features memory foam around the heel and tongue personalising the shoe to the wearer’s foot, giving a snug fit for comfort and reducing risk of injury, while a 5.5mm X-40 ComforDry Sockliner gives extra cushioning and a healthier in-shoe environment.

These running shoes are suited for neutral runners and are the best shoes for over pronaters (which is what I am). I have been wearing the Asic Kayano 16 for 8 months and were the most comfortable running shoes I have worn which my chiropodist/physio had recommended. I have had no injuries since wearing Kayano. I then upgraded to the newer Kayano 17, and the cushioning support seems to have upped a notch without sacrificing my running style. This particular pair has a striking appearance, I love it. Though its very very white! I also have a black pair which is more conservative in appearance.
Last year or so, the Gadget show had Linford Christie testing these shoes (kayano 16 version) against other competitor shoes and gave this a maximum 5 stars, thought you'd might like to know ;)
To be honest, I wish these shoe companies can still give us the option to purchase older models instead of withdrawing them because some new technological modifications can be unwelcome. But thankfully I havent felt that to be the case with this newer model. Have now been running with them for over a month and loving them.
Most recommended.

Colour Name:Black/onyx/lightning|Size Name:11.5 UK
I started running again four months ago after an accident where I broke my ankle and had plates fitted. One month in despite being careful and using a good pair of Asics with gel supports my ankle became increasingly sore.
I did a lot of research which indicated the Kayano 16 and a pair of Nike's were the best around to provide an arched support trainer for flat feet (honestly I don't walk like a penguin they are slightly flat)and these were the newer version.
I wouldn't normally spend this amount of money but was desperate to be in a position where I could get fit again so I took the plunge.
I can honestly say I don't regret it for a second, I can tell it has assisted my running as the shocks to my ankle are less and I can certainly notice a big difference afterwards as the recovery takes less time and the swelling is comparitvely non existent.
The reason I've gone into this detail is to explain that if it is so noticeable to me, if you have flat(ish) feet these trainers do provide superior support, the arch is noticeable at first but not uncomfortable. I really rate these trainers.
If you have arched feet though stay away and if you're lucky enough to have normal feet then you would find trainers cheaper,I don't think they would feel comfortable for you, they definately are specialist support trainers (and great ones)for flat feet.

The Kayano line has been a wonderful discovery, every step of the way. Thoughtfully made and well fitting, I've never had a single running related problem associated with this shoe. The K-17 is an advance due to its lighter weight. However, there is one gripe with that. The material over the toes is a bit too flimsy, with holes emerging after only a few hundred clicks. That said, I am sure Asics will fix this in K18. Can't wait.

Excellent shoes
This is the fourth generation Kayano I use. As the previous shoes, these are just excellent! Soft and light weight - it's like putting a sock on - yet very stable. Read more
