ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano 27 Running Shoe

The engineered mesh upper of this item features a Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System, which attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. The AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) outsole is placed in critical areas for exceptional durability. The Dynamic DuoMax Support System enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.

The FLYTEFOAM Propel Technology is an energetic foam formulation that provides supreme bounce thanks to a unique elastomer compound. The jacquard mesh upper offers more space between the fibers to reduce weight and enhance breathability. The gender-specific Trusstic System is tuned to men's and women's specific biomechanical needs, providing the required protection and a smooth ride. For women, this piece offers added support in the direction of forward motion, with a softer FLYTEFOAM and 3mm of added foam to meet their biomechanical requirements.

The external heel counter holds the heel securely while working in sync with the Trusstic System for stability. This shoe is designed for road use and has a 13mm heel drop. The weight of this shoe is 249g/8.8oz, and it provides neutral or stability support with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is characterized by the outside of the heel hitting the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. The push-off is experienced with pressure on the outer toes, and this can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches typically exhibit this foot type.

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 is experienced with even distribution from the front of the foot, and injuries are less likely due to effective shock absorption, though not impossible. Individuals with normal-sized arches typically exhibit this foot type.

Overpronation is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, transferring excess weight. The push-off is experienced with pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, and this can lead to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet typically exhibit this foot type.
