Description of ASICS Womens GEL Kayano Running Lightning

Synthetic and mesh. Rubber sole. Impact Guidance System employs linked componentry that enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. Guidance Line is a vertical flex groove that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency, and Plus 3 technology offers 3mm of additional height on women's models to help relieve achilles tension. Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning provides a cushioned platform feel in the forefoot, and women's models help relieve Achilles tension. Gender Specific Space Trusstic System recognizes the normal periodic changes in the shape of the woman's arch and provides for the controlled deformation of the arch into the space within the system. Asymmetrical lacing design reduces potential for irritation and provides improved comfort and fit.

Kayano 16 Gel Running Shoes

These shoes were listed as used (returning?) from Revain stock. They were in NEW condition and were reduced at a great price. I didn't notice any signs of wear. This is my fourth pair of Kayano 16s (by Revain). I love her. My leg pain and fatigue at the end of the work day went away completely after I bought my first pair. The support is great. They are very comfortable and perfect for people who are on their feet all day. Like almost everything I order from Revain, this shoe has been here for…

Pros
  • Don't Waste Too Much
Cons
  • Amazing Price

Not as good as the Gel-Nimbus 12

I ran the Nimbus 12 for a while before considering buying a new pair of shoes so I could alternate my runs. While the Nimbus offers more support and more bounce (in my opinion), the Kayano makes you work harder to get the same performance. My knees and ankles seem to hurt more when I walk in them. I don't hate shoes. They're still way better than the ones I've tried from Adidas or Nike, but I just have something better (and cheaper?) from the same brand to compare. From now on I will stay with…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I had to break them in.

I have wider feet than most and it took me a while to break in these shoes which really feel like walking on a cloud before I could settle into them compared to my first run. I'm happy to report that I paid good money for a pair of good shoes. Pros: Feels Like Support, Cloud Comfort In Shoes, Breathable, Stylish, More! Cons: At first I had blisters, chafing my feet, sore/injured my (left) ankle (all due to my feet being further apart). Although I ran last time, I didn't have these problems…

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • Minor issues

I love Kayano! best in road running

I actually didn't have a version of the Kayano that I didn't like. For Asics and running they are one of my favorites. They are lighter than other Asics. It takes a while for the shoes to break in (if you walk a lot in the first few days you may get a blister or two. It may be better to run a few miles in the first few days. But you may not even get blisters if you walk a lot, depends on the shape of your foot and the type of shoes you buy). Also, you should always buy running shoes half a size

Pros
  • very good value for money
Cons
  • sad packaging

best running shoes (in my humble opinion)

I've been running Gel-Kayanos for 7 years. I started trail running in high school and was told to buy these shoes because of my flat feet and reverse foot. They really helped me find my footing and took my running to a higher level. I've bought a new pair every 4 months or 400 miles and they are AMAZING. Super comfy, super supportive and I've only fallen once in 7 years with these little ones. I've run 3 half marathons in the last 9 months and I've taken a new pair to training each time, and I.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Nothing here

not just for running

I'm glad these shoes arrived. A year ago I had serious problems with my legs during my pregnancy. I went to a physical therapist who helped me deal with the pain and I was able to walk again. He recommended these shoes to me. I was desperate with pain and spent over $140 on these shoes. I was relieved but hated the price of the sticker. I wear them every day for a year. Now it's time to replace them. If I upgrade to Kayano 17 I can pay $140 again at my local store. I was delighted to find the…

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • No instructions

That's exactly what I wanted!

I'm not a runner - I walk five miles a day in just over an hour. I was nervous about buying shoes online but I'm very happy with it! First, I have wide feet so the width options fit me perfectly. It can be difficult to find shoes for a wide leg in stores. I read other reviews that they ran a bit small so I ordered a half size up and they fit great. (Though I recommend ordering a half size larger than you normally wear.) Second, I wore them twice to the grocery store before breaking them in, and

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Reliability

The sneakers you want!

I've had Reebok, Nike and New Balance. I tolerated them all. I wondered why I couldn't find a pair of tennis shoes that I was 100% comfortable with. I just thought it was my legs; maybe just not for tennis shoes. I signed up for my first half marathon and was worried about my legs. Then a friend told me that she loves her ASICS. I checked out ASICS online. I found them, liked the reviews I read and decided to order them. WOW, for the first time ever I own tennis shoes that fit well and are OH…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all
