• The Asics Gel Kayano is a stability shoe
• Average weight: 11.2 oz. (Size 8.5)

The Asics Gel Kayano 17 is a new updated version of the classic and has been made even better for 2011. Asics had added a retooled asymmetrical lacing design for improved upper fit and a new midsole platform offering enhanced comfort. Asics has also added a Gudiance Line for enhanced gait efficiency. The GEL-Kayano 16 also features a lighter platform that is 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.
