Since 1993, the GEL-KAYANO® series has set the bar for runners seeking lasting comfort and stability. Let's unpack what's new in the GEL-KAYANO® 33 shoe and how it improves upon its predecessor.
Who is the GEL-KAYANO® series for?
The GEL-KAYANO® shoe is our most advanced stability trainer, designed to help guide your foot forward for support in every step. We suggest trying the GEL-KAYANO® 33 shoe if you want a cushioned daily trainer with smooth, comfortable stability.
Stability technology is especially important for runners who overpronate, meaning their feet roll inward during each step. Read our pronation guide for help finding the right shoe for your foot type.
What’s Familiar
The GEL-KAYANO® 33 shoe keeps some key features from its last iteration. Strategically placed under the heel, PureGEL™ technology helps deliver enhanced shock absorption and soft, cushioned landings. The shoe also retains the HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole, engineered to help provide advanced grip and durability underfoot.
What's New
As always, we implemented our kaizen ("continuous improvement") design philosophy to make the GEL-KAYANO® 33 shoe the best version yet. Here's what's new:
