Asics | Men's Gel-Kayano 27 Running Shoes

Advice for Road Runners: The Gel-Kayano 27 is a highly-supportive stability shoe that delivers maximum impact protection with its Gel cushioning and softer density midsole. The density of the midsole foam has been reduced to make it feel plusher underfoot and the flex grooves in the forefoot have been deepened to make take-offs feel easier. ASICS have also added flex grooves to the heel as this helps slow down the speed of pronation at landing and thus slows the rotation of the rest of the leg.

One of the best updates is the new guidance trusstic called Space Trusstic. This is a structure that sits underneath the arch of the foot and adds additional support. The design has been optimised to be gender specific as the male model provides greater arch support and the female model improves the support in the direction of movement.The ankle design has been optimised for support in an unobtrusive way for premium comfort.

The Gel-Kayano 27 offers the highest level of cushioning and support in a stability shoe and feels great for slower or steady paced running. If you’re looking for a firmer and more responsive feel, check out the Asics GT-1000 10.

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles. Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes). This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
