ASICS GEL-KAYANO 33 Review: A stability shoe at a crossroads
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 33 running shoe features a redesigned stability platform and an updated engineered mesh upper. While the shoe offers improved comfort and a wider fit, the reviewer notes that the new stability system represents a significant departure from previous iterations.
Why it matters
As a popular stability shoe, changes to the Gel-Kayano series impact a large demographic of runners who rely on specific support features for injury prevention.
The ASICS Gel-Kayano series has long been one of go-to shoes for those looking for stability. In its earlier iteration, the sportswear maker introduced the 4D Guidance system, which worked well for those who pronate. So when I got the 33, I was expecting an update on that stability system. Instead I noticed a completely new stability platform in the Gel-Kayano 33. Whether that’s good news depends heavily on what you’re using these shoes for.
