ASICS has given the Gel-Kayano 33 a remarkably soft feel, mainly thanks to its cushioning. However, during toe-off, the platform becomes firmer, preventing the overly “spongy” sensation sometimes found in certain modern running shoes.
ASICS says the development of the Gel-Kayano 33 focused heavily on support and stability. The ASICS Gel-Kayano 33 is quite surprising because at first glance it may seem like a relaxed or even unremarkable trainer. Yet thanks to its smooth transitions, energy return, and reliable footing, it performs very well at higher speeds over long distances as well as during everyday training sessions.
This flexible — or perhaps fluid, as it almost disappears on the foot — ASICS Gel-Kayano 33 delivers excellent comfort thanks to its new dual-layer cushioning. The shoe is aimed at a wide range of runners, especially those looking for stability. It is not an intrusive or overly corrective shoe; instead, it respects the runner’s natural stride while gently assisting the foot’s transition.
The shoe is carefully constructed, with good foot lockdown and effective flat laces.
Overall, this is an excellent shoe for daily training and long runs. Its greatest strengths are stability and support.
