ASICS Gel-Kayano® 15 SKU #7487364(View on Zappos.com Classic)
Product Information:
- Running shoe built for the moderate to excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability.
- Nothing less than respect and adulation for the 15th version of this industry icon that again lives up to its reputation for exceptional performance, stability and comfort (previous model being Gel-Kayano® 14, sku#7363868).
- Biomorphic Fit™ Upper provides superior fit and comfort while decreasing the potential for irritation.
- Asymmetrical Lacing System conforms to the bony structure of the foot for an enhanced fit.
- 3M® reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
- P.H.F.® (Personal Heel Fit) comprises a memory foam lined heel collar that molds to the athlete's heel, creating a personalized fit.
- ComforDry™ insole provides the optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
- DuoMax® midsole technology takes the form of a multi-density midsole material designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation.
- Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) better allows the shoe and foot to transition together through the contact, midstance and propulsion components. This linked componentry enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
- ASICS® Forefoot and Rearfoot GEL® Cushioning System is strategically placed at high impact areas in the forefoot and rearfoot for shock absorption.
- Solyte® offers a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.
- Gender Specific Space Trusstic System® creates a pocket between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function. Trusstic System® is a molded component that links the rearfoot and forefoot and shores the midfoot. The gender specificity recognizes the normal periodic changes in the shape of a female arch and allows for the controlled deformation of the arch into the space within the system.
- AHAR® Heel Plug (ASICS® High Abrasion Resistant rubber) has been added to critical areas of the outsole for increased durability.
- DuraSponge® blown AHAR® rubber compound improves forefoot cushioning and durability.
- 10.00 oz.
- Product measurements were taken using size 7. Please note that measurements may vary by size.

Excellent upgrade in the Gel Kayano line! The most significant difference, as one with wider feet, is the new netting outlying the pinky-toe area. In the Kayano 14 model, that area previously had a hard plastic molding which would irritate my pinky-toe during my long runs. The netting in the Kayano 15 provides that extra give, reduces irritation and has eliminated that problem for me. This model is definitely true to width, and an overall more comfortable shoe. I also have a slight pronation and this shoe provides just enough stability for me.

Great toe box, fantastic arch support, fits true to size, gel is AWESOME! The mesh on toe box keeps your feet super cool and allows them to breathe while running.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to widthLove, love, love these shoes! I usually run in Mizunos, but decided to give these a try. To me, these are just running shoes... I wouldn’t walk or wear them all day. The extra cushioning at the top of the shoe in the heel/ankle area felt awkward to me when I first put on the shoes; however, I decided to give ‘em a try. I quickly forgot about those weird feeling "bumps" around my ankles when I stepped on the treadmill. They feel great! I tend to overpronate, and these shoes keep my feet in the correct position to strike and roll, making my running stride more comfortable and my feet less achy afterward.

I have inflammatory arthritis and hurt the majority of the time. I have to have good shoes and Asics Gel-Kayano are the best I've found. I had problems with heel pain the minute I got out of bed! It is now completely gone because of wearing my Asics! I have less back pain and leg fatigue when I am on my feet for long periods of time (as long as I have these shoes on). My first pair were the Gel Kayano 14 and the 15 is just as good. I would recommend the Gel Kayano to anyone who needs cushion with support!

I have always loved Asics running shoes. After going to several sporting goods stores these were the best fit that I found. They have the right combination of cushion and support. Would reccommend them to anyone, especially anyone who has high arches.

I have several pairs of Asics and have been very happy with each pair that I have owned. They have good heel support, having had planters fasciitis. This pair has to be the worst ever, one heel is narrower than the other, the mesh above my big toe has already wore through on one shoe having wore only indoors purchased 2 months ago. They are not worth the money, there are good Asics out there but these are not worth the money. I'm disappointed!

I have been buying Asics Gels for many years. As a moderate runner, I love a shoe that I can count on every time. The supportive heel prevents any rolling while running. I insert my own custom sport orthotic with plenty of room. The new lacing style is just fine, nice update! I wouldn't run in anything else.

These are the only shoes my wife will wear after the first pair I got her 2 years ago. She runs every day to stay on top of her fitness requirements in the Army. She has the best times in her unit for the 2 mile run and is twice as old as most in the unit.

The best shoes for over-pronators. My physical therapist said to get these for arch support while I work. I run around all day and have flat feet, so these are fabulous! I'm going to get another pair for the gym!

For a person who has very narrow feet, the narrow sizing of the shoe made all the difference. Its a great, light, yet cushioned shoe that follows the natural shape of your foot and provides support. I would highly recommend this shoe to all runners.

This is my fourth pair of Asics (in different styles) and they are great shoes. Each pair has given me excellent service in the gym for at least 1 1/2 years; after that, they become my gardening and dog-walking shoes. I have a bunion on each foot, and the give of the toe box on these shoes makes them very comfortable. Attractive, too. My bunions aren't noticeable at all. These shoes have very good arch support. The asymmetrical lace threw me off at first, but I haven't even thought about that after the first day or so of wearing them. Don't forget to order up a half size if you're wearing them for workouts.

Excellent support and comfort, even when I'm on my feet all day. I'm a registered nurse and many of my co-workers and I all wear Asics. This particular shoe fits my long, narrow foot very well.

This is a great running shoe for those who need a supportive stability shoe. I have run 2 marathons in this model despite multiple issues that I have had with my feet. However, this shoe may be too supportive for those with normal or high arches.

I would highly recommend Asics Gel Kayano. I have been running in them for the last five years. I actually recently purchased my second pair of Kayano 15's and I love them; hands down my favorite running shoe.

I ordered these because my previous shoes, the Kayano 14's, are so comfortable. I don't feel like these shoes are as comfortable. I think it takes a while to break them in. Also, it seems that the laces come up higher than the 14's did, which has caused me pain in the front of my ankle. I've had to unlace them from the top holes. I'm hoping they'll break in and be less stiff.
