The GEL-Kayano 30 is the flagship support running shoe from ASICS. The 30th-anniversary edition introduces the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM for natural gait guidance and pronation control. The midsole uses FF BLAST+ ECO eco-friendly high-rebound foam with hidden PureGEL for soft cushioning and stability. The upper is engineered mesh (recycled material) with good breathability and a wide toe box option. Outsole uses AHARPLUS rubber for durability. Overall a plush, soft, stable ride suitable for heel strikers doing long-distance jogging and daily training. One of the most comprehensive support shoes in the ASICS lineup.
