Shoes for Heavier Runners
Guys over 155 are considered heavy runners. And ladies who are over that limit like to run, too. This shoe was specifically made for heavier runners although it's suitable for those who weigh under 155 as well.
Men's Gel Kayano |
Not every one who runs is 155 or less. So there are shoes for the rest of us.
The story is that the army wanted to order running shoes and was unable to find anything appropriate that would last for soldiers over 155. So the Gel Kayano was born. While Gel Kayanos are known to suit heavy runners, they are also suitable for people with other running issues such as:
- Suitable for those who are more prone to shin splints
- Known for stability, support and comfort
- Little or no foot fatigue on long distance runs
- Great for weak ankles (often typical for those with high arches)
- Those who suffer from shin splints swear by these
