ASICS Gel-Kayano® 16 SKU: #7589587
Product Information:
View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)- Running shoe built for the moderate to excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability.
- The GEL-Kayano® 16 from ASICS® honors the series' tradition of employing cutting-edge technology and high-end components while still maintaining the classic ride and fit that made the shoe an icon to begin with.
- Biomorphic Fit™ Upper creates a superior fit, increased comfort, and decreases the potential for irritation.
- Asymmetrical Lacing System conforms to the bony structure of the foot for an enhanced fit and reduced irritation.
- 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 delivers the optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
- Soft Top DuoMax® system delivers a increased level of comfort and enhanced gait efficiency.
- 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.®) allows the shoe and foot to transition together through the contact, midstance and propulsion components. This linked system 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.
- Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning is a top layer of injected Solyte® that delivers a cushioned platform feel in the forefoot. Features a lower density for improved cushioning and forefoot comfort.
- 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. 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.
- The vertical flex groove of the Guidance Line™ decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
- DuraSponge® blown AHAR® rubber compound improves forefoot cushioning and durability.
- Plus 3™ features offers 3mm of additional height to help relieve achilles tension.
- Weight: 11 oz
- Product measurements were taken using size 7. Please note that measurements may vary by size.
- Enhance your runs with these running accessories:

I am so glad that I tried these shoes! I completed a half marathon in April. While training for that, I wore Brooks Adrenaline 11s. I had terrible knee, hip, and foot pain the entire time I trained and during the race. I have had zero pain after or during my runs while wearing these shoes. These are highly recommend!

After trying different brands, I've found these to be the absolute best shoes for my daily walk - I've logged quite a few miles in these over the years, and they provide the ideal support and comfort.

These are lightweight, breathable and very durable! The offset lacing feels more comfortable than having the lacing on top of the foot. I have been a runner for most of my life and my shoes are very important to me. I have high arches and I like a cushioned, yet responsive shoe. This is my third pair of these great shoes! I just wish that the look was a little more exciting.

After 5 years of marathon running, this is the one shoe that did not allow my toes to jam and thus, have my toenails fall off. Not only is this shoe immensely comfortable and durable, it is quintessentially a great light weight shoe that stands about 300-400 miles before you need to change. The price is reasonable for an Asic and I prefer Asics for my mild to moderate pronation when I run. My knees and toenails thank you. Plus, if you can get your hands on the pink, it's super cute too.

I absolutely love these shoes. My friend suggested I try a pair of Asics a few years ago and after that first pair, I knew these would be another great pair to add to my running collection. Comfortable, good support and I have received multiple compliments from fellow runners! I only wish they came with different colored laces!

I took the advice of others and ordered a half size larger; had to return it and reorder a full size larger. Other than that, great looking shoe, very comfortable. The sleek style makes my 13AA look small on my feet!

Comfortable shoe. After reading reviews on this shoe, I ordered a half size larger with wide width, so I had a wide enough shoe. My foot is D width. I ended up trading it for my correct size shoe with wide width. They are great. No break-in was needed!

As a women's 10.5, typically I cannot find shoes made in my size. Asics makes a 10.5 in this shoe; however, I read reviews and decided I should order a 1/2 size up. I ordered an 11 and they are perfect. Best running shoes I've ever owned.

I love this shoe; this is my second pair. The shoe is great because it is very orthotic friendly and although the description suggests that this shoe is for an over-pronator, I under pronate but have high arches and this shoe is extremely comfortable and supportive. I think that Asics run a little bit wide but not so wide that it feels like a wide as opposed to a B shoe but just a bit wide. That works very well for people who want to wear thick socks. The only problem I have with this shoe is that is goes from comfortable to a little bit too wide quickly.

I have had this brand of running shoes for years and always love the support and comfort. They are great! I have feet that are on the wider side and they fit perfectly without ordering a wide. The only issue I had was that I ordered the blue and received the pink. I liked the pink too so I kept them.

Very nice running shoe and fits my narrow foot well. It is difficult to find narrow running shoes so when these arrived in the mail I was not expecting them to work. These are wonderful shoes and fit my narrow foot perfect.

I'm extremely pleased with my Asics Gel-Kayano shoes. I could not believe the fast service. I got them the next day and have been wearing them every day. I did a lot of walking in New York during our recent vacation. Couldn't have done it without these shoes, because I suffer from post-tebial tendinitis. The price of the shoes was less then what you pay at the local stores in my area for my particular size (long and narrow). Thanks, Zappos. I. V.

I love Asics Gel-Kayano's. I've been running with them for years. The tough part is getting used to the changes with every new version. With this one, the angled laces gave me trouble at first, but discovered that if I position them before securing the laces, they stay right where I want them. Great supportive shoe, no other issues adjusting to new shoes, fit like a glove.
