This is the third update ASICS has made to the Gel Kayano. The upper is mesh with a well padded tongue, snug loop lacing, good-friction polyester covered oval laces, and iridescent reflective trim. The midsole is CM-EVA, with well placed GEL pads in heel and forefoot with DuoMax medial post closely linked to the Trusstic system for balance and stability. The AHAR heel and DuoSole forefoot provide excellent durability, lightened by blown rubber encircling the DuoSole.
Road Test: The ride that is associated with ASICS shoes is best demonstrated by the Kayano. The well cushioned ride offered by the CM-EVA/Gel combo is as cushioned as it comes. The secure fit and feel of the shoe allows you to focus on your running and put in the miles. The combination of stability cushioning and flexibility in a well finished, secure upper, is the Kayano’s forte. If it fits your budget, try them out.
