Back to Results Asics Gel-Kayano 13 Manufacturer: Asics Price: $135 Reviewed in: Nov 2006 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Stability See Specifications We say: This update boasts the largest Gel unit Asics has ever used, which results in a softer, more durable heel. To prevent the shoe from feeling squishy, a plate has been placed over the Gel heel unit to work as a sort of mattress box spring. It also features an improved Space Trusstic device through the arch, which helps stabilize and guide the foot through the gait cycle (see page 101). Our Shoe Lab tests found the Kayano to be the most flexible shoe in the stability category. Recommended for normal- to low-arched runners looking for a great fit and ride.
