Asics Womens Gel Kayano 27 AWL
Enjoy excellent comfort and advanced support with the GEL-KAYANO® 27 AWL (All Winter Long) running shoe. This offering is a water-resistant variation that's accented with added reflectivity to run in low light conditions. At midstance, the foot should stop pronating and re-supinate for an efficient toe-off. To help this natural motion, we incorporate DYNAMIC DUOMAX® technology to help support the foot and increase stability for runners whose feet roll inward too much (overpronate). The midsole also integrates SPACE TRUSSTIC™ technology, which provides stability and reduces the overall weight to help promote a smoother transition from foot strike to toe-off. This added stability is complemented by deeper forefoot flex grooves for a smoother roll through toe-off, allowing the shoe to move more naturally with the foot. Lastly, a large section of reflective materials in the rearfoot helps keep runners visible when running in low-light conditions. The GEL-KAYANO® 27 AWL model is an excellent choice for both competitive and noncompetitive runners looking for an everyday trainer that combines comfort with support.
PRONATION: NEUTRAL/OVERPRONATION
Neutral
Foot Type: Normal size arches
Push Off: There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries: Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Overpronation
Foot Type: Low arches or flat feet
Push Off: Big toe and second toe do majority of the work.
Considered Injuries: Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs.
How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
