The Gel-Kayano is ASICS’s flagship stability shoe, and earlier versions feature in our running shoes for bad knees guide. We found it breathable with a sock-like fit, durable with good traction, and well cushioned to ease the impact of landing.
Its stability technology is designed to guide the foot’s natural gait, which is why podiatrists often recommend it to runners who overpronate. By controlling that inward roll, many runners find they can train more without aggravating knee pain.
The Gel-Kayano 33 is the current model.
Who it’s for: overpronators and runners with knee problems who want maximum support.
