The i-Run team says
Redesigned, the Asics Gel-Kayano 30 Anniversary shoe for men returns in a new version that is more comfortable for your running workouts across all distances up to the marathon. This stability-focused shoe allows you to run longer on roads and trails.
Gel-Kayano 30, for what type of athlete, what use, what distance, and what surface ?
This model caters to various profiles of runners, whether they are occasional practitioners, beginners, or experienced. Designed for maximum comfort and stability to ensure greater foot support, this shoe is suitable for both neutral and overpronating strides. It supports the arch of the foot to correct inward foot tilting, characteristic of overpronation.
Suited for your regular running workouts, recovery sessions, and long non-competitive runs, it accompanies you on roads and trails.
Versatile, this shoe is suitable for all distances, although its strengths particularly suit long distances up to the marathon.
