ASICS Women's GEL-Kayano 27 Running Shoe

The Engineered Mesh Upper of this product features a synthetic and mesh fabric construction, which is machine washable. This ASICS shoe is of imported origin and has a rubber sole.

The key features of this item include:

Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System: Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

AHAR Outsole: Acronym for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber, placed in critical areas of the outsole for exceptional durability.

Dynamic DuoMax Support System: This evolution of the DuoMax system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.

FLYTEFOAM Propel Technology: ASICS' energetic foam formulation that provides supreme bounce thanks to a unique elastomer compound.

The engineered jacquard mesh upper has more space between the fibers to reduce weight and enhance breathability. The gender-specific Trusstic System is tuned to men's and women's biomechanical needs, providing the appropriate protection and smooth ride. For women, this piece offers added support in the direction of forward motion, with a softer FLYTEFOAM compound and 3mm of additional foam to cater to their specific 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 running, with a 13mm heel drop and a weight of 249g/8.8oz.

The shoe is categorized as providing Neutral or Stability support, with Maximum cushioning. Underpronation, also known as supination, is characterized by the foot contacting the ground on the outside of the heel at an increased angle with minimal pronation, leading to pressure on the outer toes and potential injuries such as plantar fasciitis and shin splints. Neutral foot type is where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact. Overpronation is when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward excessively, transferring excess weight to the big toe and second toe, potentially leading to issues like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs.
