ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 Running Shoe - Wide Width for Women

The shoe's sole is made of rubber, while the outer material is synthetic, and the closure type is lace-up. It is not water-resistant.

This item features several key technologies:

OrthoLite X-55 sockliner: Improves comfort AHAR Plus Outsole: Strategically positioned in critical areas of the outsole, this exceptionally durable compound is 50% more durable than standard ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Trusstic System technology: Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. Engineered Mesh Upper: Multi-directional mesh material improves ventilation and stability. Dynamic DuoMax Support System: This evolution of DuoMax system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.

The engineered mesh upper improves breathability. The Dynamic DuoMax Support System enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support. Rear Foot Gel Technology attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

This shoe is designed for road use, has a 13 mm heel drop, and weighs 258 g/9.1 oz. It provides neutral and stability support, with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. The push-off is experienced on the outer toes, which can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. This foot type is associated with high arches.

Neutral foot type refers to the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward to absorb impact, with even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot during push-off. Injuries are less likely due to effective shock absorption, although not impossible. This foot type has normal-sized arches.

Overpronation happens when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. The push-off is experienced mainly on the big toe and second toe, which can lead to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. This foot type is associated with low arches or flat feet.

The shoe offers four key benefits:

Stability: Provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Similar shoes include the GT-1000 and TRABUCO CUSHION. Comfort: Offers cushioning to prioritize soft landings and impact absorption, helping to maintain comfort on longer runs. Similar shoes include the GEL-PULSE and TRABUCO MAX. Energy Return: Provides a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, with energy return that propels the wearer forward. Similar shoes include the SUPERBLAST and DYNABLAST. Racing: Offers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping to conserve energy when every second counts. Similar shoes include the METASPEED and MAGIC SPEED.
