GEL-KAYANO LITE 3
The GEL-KAYANO® LITE 3 running shoe embraces a sound earth. With a greater emphasis on sustainability, this shoe keeps your step stable and your mind light.
Its engineered mesh upper is made with a higher percentage of recycled polyester than the previous version. The collar and tongue’s recycled textiles are helping us take additional steps towards lightening our impact on the environment.
FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning is made from organically derived materials. We added more of this lightweight foam in the forefoot to create a more energetic rebound at toe-off.
The 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION™ feature addresses the gait differences of male and female runners. It's designed to reduce overpronation, which keeps your foot supported.
- At least 50% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions
- The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology
- Breathable jacquard mesh upper
- GEL® technology cushioning provides excellent shock absorption
- FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning consists of cellulose nanofiber, a bio-based material applied as a component of this shoe's midsole
- Reflective details help improve visibility in low-light settings
- 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION™ feature improves compression at footstrike
- OrthoLite™ lasting improves step-in comfort and durability
- GUIDANCE LINE™ technology improves gait efficiency

Designed For Neutral/Overpronation
Neutral
Foot Type: Normal-size arches.
Push-Off: You experience even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries: Getting hurt is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body.
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.
