PRONATION
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.
Tech & Materials
Engineered mesh upper
Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Technology Cushioning System
Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

DETAILS
Enjoy excellent comfort and advanced support with the GEL-KAYANO® 27 (Wide) running shoe.The redesigned mesh upper helps keep feet cool while the sole is more flexible to help promote a more natural roll through the gait cycle.This process starts in the heel with added flex grooves that isolate the initial impact to force a softer and smoother feeling at footstrike.Additionally,our distance running shoe is complemented with a wider fit for runners who require more width in their footwear.At midstance,the foot should stop pronating and re-supinate for an efficient toe-off.This shoe also incorporates DYNAMIC DUOMAX® technology to help support the foot and increase stability for runners whose feet roll inward too much (overpronate).The midsole integrates SPACE TRUSSTIC™ technology,which provides stability and reduces the overall weight to help promote a smoother transition from footstrike to toe-off.This added stability is complemented by deeper forefoot flex grooves that create 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 (Wide) model is an excellent choice for both competitive and non-competitive runners looking for an everyday trainer that combines comfort with support.
