Asics Women's Gel-Kayano 29

The product's key details include the following: Machine Washable, Rubber Sole Material, and Synthetic Outer Material. The closure type is Lace-Up.

Regarding this item, the upper is engineered with knit material to enhance breathability. At least 50% of the main upper material is made from recycled content, reducing waste and carbon emissions. The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that decreases water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods. The shoe has a wide fit, and the redesigned external heel counter helps keep the foot stable and provides a more comfortable stride.

The OrthoLite X-55 Sockliner improves comfort, while the LITETRUSS Technology assists in increasing stability and guides the foot through the gait cycle for a more efficient toe-off. The AHARPLUS Heel Plug enhances the outsole's durability. This shoe is intended for road use.

The heel drop is 10 mm, and the weight is 270 g/9.5 oz. The shoe provides support for Neutral and Stability foot types, with Maximum Cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as Supination, is a foot type where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. The push-off experience involves pressure on the outer toes, and potential injuries include plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches often exhibit this foot type.

In contrast, a Neutral Foot Type is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. The push-off experience involves even distribution from the front of the foot, and this foot type is less prone to injuries due to effective shock absorption, though not immune.

Overpronation, on the other hand, occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. The push-off experience involves pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, and potential injuries include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit this foot type.

The shoe offers four key benefits: Stability, Comfort, Energy Return, and Racing. The Stability option provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. The Comfort option prioritizes soft landings and impact absorption, helping maintain comfort on longer runs. The Energy Return option offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, providing energy return that propels the wearer forward. The Racing option delivers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and faster finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts.
