ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano 30 Running Shoes

The engineered stretch knit upper of this product enhances breathability, improving comfort. An external back heel counter helps keep the foot stable and provides a more comfortable stride. The 4D Guidance System feature creates adaptive stability for a more balanced stride. Rearfoot PureGEL technology offers lightweight cushioning and softer landings. The FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning, made with approximately 20% bio-based content, delivers cloud-like comfort.

This item is suitable for women's running. It is also available for men's running, tennis, and apparel & accessories for both women and men.

The lightweight technical knit material is designed to strike a unique balance of comfort, breathability, and fit, while reducing the need for additional overlays. The 4D Guidance System is an innovative approach to stabilizing the foot, based on biomechanical research, focusing on adaptive, on-demand stability. A medical foam unit helps return the arch to the ideal position for the next foot strike.

The Rearfoot PureGEL Technology offers a softer, updated version of GEL that maintains the acclaimed properties that have made GEL famous, with a 65% softer feel compared to the previous visible GEL.

This shoe is suitable for road running. It has a 10 mm heel drop and weighs 263g/9.3 oz. It provides neutral support.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is characterized by the foot contacting the ground with an increased angle on the outside of the heel, resulting in minimal pronation and causing shock to the lower leg. During push-off, the user experiences pressure on the outer toes, potentially leading to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches often exhibit this foot type.

In contrast, neutral foot type involves the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. During push-off, the user experiences even distribution from the front of the foot. This foot type is less prone to injuries, although it is not entirely immune.

Overpronation, on the other hand, occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward excessively, transferring excess weight. During push-off, the user experiences pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, potentially leading to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit this foot type.

This shoe offers various protective benefits, including stability, comfort, energy return, and racing performance. The stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions helps guide the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. The cushioning prioritizes soft landings and impact absorption, maintaining comfort on longer runs. The bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step provides energy return that propels the user forward. The lightweight, responsive feel helps conserve energy when every second counts.
