Pronation
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GEL-Kahana 8 is made for Overpronation and Neutral.

Gel Kahana 8Have been wearing these for a few weeks. Both my feet have been bothering me. I like the construction of these shoes, but may have to add a different insole. Have not gotten the same level of comfort that I have enjoyed previously. This is a new model for me.

Snug FitGreat look and appear solid and great stability. These shoes are snug despite of perfect fit in terms of length - could probably use a wider width as these are quite tight. I am wearing slowly to break the in as opposed to Trabuco 9's which were perfect out of the box.

Cheap and poorly madeFirst, the web does a terrible job showing the materials. It appears (with contrast stitching and multi-color soles) to be similar to the mid-range and higher-end Gel running shoes, yet, in reality, they're not.
But the bigger issue is QUALITY. The left shoe had a sharp piece by my little toe, and the SOLES were off. It actually "collapsed" or rocked.
