Our Take 

The new Gel-Kayano 30 packs a lot of features into one shoe.  More cushioned and more stable than ever before, the Gel-Kayano 30 is a great shoe for the person looking for maximum comfort or for those who need a little more stability to get them through their long runs.

The new 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ helps provide adaptive stability.  This helps you experience a more supportive and balanced stride during your distance training.

Its midsole is revamped with FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning and a 4mm stack height increase.  With approximately 20% bio-based content, this material helps create cloud-like softness in every step.

The new PureGEL™ technology is strategically positioned below the heel for a smoother ride. It’s 65% softer than conventional visible GEL®, allowing your distance training to feel super smooth!
