This is Asics high end stability running shoe for those with moderate to severe pronation. Great arch support and relief for shin splints. And it is one of their most popular shoes. This version, the Asics Gel Kayano 17, is more improved than ever.

Some had complained the asymmetrical lacing on the Asics Gel Kayano 16 was not moving with the foot and therefore causing some runners a problem with toes, upper foot etc. We had encouraged anyone with this issue to go back to Asics Gel Kayano 15. The lace eye stay construction now moves more effectively with the foot.

Gender specific upgrades for Asics Gel Kayano 17

There are some gender specific components such as the pillow top feeling on the inside for women as well as the +3mm heel height to relieve load on the achilles tendon acknowleding that the Achilles of males and females are different.

New and improved features of the Asics Gel Kayano 17

The guidance line, the part along the bottom of the shoe, is now extended from heel to toe-- designed to guide the foot more efficiently from heel to toe. It has also gone on a diet and lost a half ounce. It was already a lightweight and now it will glide even better. Upper overlays made from recycled materials for ecology.

• Full length guidance line
• Plush forefoot which feels more cushioned
• Movement with the laces (complaint with Gel Kayano 16)
• Plushness on the collar of the shoe
• New improved orthotic like sock liner which is 5.5mm layer of foam. Features enhanced bounce back compared to Asics 16.
• Lightest version of the kayano to date-- 12 ounces for the men's shoe

Love how light the Asics Gel Kayano 17 shoes are! But beware. More mesh so rain gets in there.
