The popular Asics Gel Kayano 15 is a classic and has been made even better for 2009 with the addition of Asics Asymmetrical Lacing for improved upper fit and a new midsole platform offering enhanced comfort. The GEL-Kayano 15 also features a lighter platform weighing in at 12.8 ounces almost one ounce lighter than the previous version by incorporating an innovative injection-molded Solyte midsole material. Other updates include a larger rear-foot Gel Cushioning System which delivers more of the incredible "ride" that has already become its legacy in running footwear. Also features Asics proprietary Impact Guidance System and a ComforDry sockliner.
The Asics Gel Kayano is a stability shoe - Stability shoes are for runners who mildly overponate (feet turning inward) and need extra support though the heel midsole and post areas. Stability shoes will help reduce overpronation which causes excessive foot motion and increases your risk of injury.
