The GEL-KAYANO® 28 shoe creates a stable stride that moves you towards a balanced mindset. Featuring a lower-profile external heel counter, this piece cradles your foot with improved rearfoot support. To improve stability and responsiveness, we added FF BLAST™ cushioning to the midsole. It provides a smooth and supportive feel in each step. The trainer's new GEL® technology shape delivers a smooth stride, allowing you to experience a softer landing without losing speed.
Normal size arches
There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Low arches or flat feet
Big toe and second toe do majority of the work.
Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs.
The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
