Asics Kayano 17 GENERAL INFOR ON THE ASICS GEL-KAYANO 17 The ASICS Gel Kayano premium plus stability shoes, get a 2011 update that has given us a shoe that is slightly lighter and better cushioned because of a new liner and improved response because of the employment of ASICS Guidance Line technology throughout the length of the shoe. New colors have also been introduced, the most spectacular being the all black edition. Also included are many features cool carried from Gel Kayano16. Carried from the Gel-Kayano16 is the Impact Guidance system from Asics which is used to enhance the natural gait of the foot. However, the Gel kayano 17 is improved by having the guidance line extending through the shoes full length which improves gait efficiency and responsiveness. The result is that the shoes feel connected to the body and feet thus allowing for an efficient and easy running gait. Whats more, the discrete heel included in the gel kayano gives additional stability and cushioning than previous versions making it the best cushioned shoe in the market. The cushioning is very durable and doesnt break down like other shoes which use other methods to cushion like gel. The gel Kayanos heel has an Asics midfoot stabilizer referred to as the space Trustic system together with amid sole support system called the Duo Max while the comfort of the forefoot and the heel is further enhanced by the dual density solyte system. The cushioning of the forefoot and the midsole combined with the advanced cushioning of the heel all point to a pushily cushioned ride- ideal for people looking for a pair of shoes in the stability package. The copletely improved comforDry sockliner in the gel kayano 17 together with new upper which still uses Asics asymmetrical lacing design for a lacing system that is anatomically correct and so designed as to follow the natural design of the foot. The gel kayano 17s asymmetrical lacing is very unique and sets it apart from other shoes. The new system eliminates any discomfort that the lacing system may have caused. The most popular shoes produced by Asics are the gel Kayanos. The gel kayanos have been among the best shoes in the stability plus package for quite sometime. Having already used many shoes in this range from the thirteens up to the seventeens I have to say that Asics have been very prompt in making improvements to the shoes. The gel kayanos have been distinguished by their strength for a long time but the introduction of the asymmetrical lacing system has seen the focus shift to comfort. Most probably there are two sets of runner out there;-those still using the 16 and still yet to decide whether to go for the upgrade and those looking to use a stability shoe for the first time. For those still using the 16, the upgrade is worth going for and you will just love the lighter weight and improved responsiveness and cushioning. However, if there are clear out sales of the 16, I might have a few in stocks but if you can afford it, then go for the latest shoes. For those considering stability plus shoes for the first time and are comfortable with the $ 140 price tag, the gel kayano 17 wont disappoint you. I am 62 and 175 pound and have been running about 70 miles each week, I use a pair once in 6 weeks and I have already used the 17s twice already and they have already become my favorites for long runs. I have spared the 16s for lighter, shorter runs until they get worn out. I have very few complaints about the Kayanos and Asics Running Shoes as a rule. Maybe the weight maybe a factor but this has already been taken care of. Breathability is another Fact that has to be improved on especially during summer. The bottom line is if you are already using the 16s, you will love the new features on theAsics Kayano 17.
