The Gel-Kayano 30 stands out because it doesn't show any visible gel the way its predecessors did, but rest assured—it's built into the shoe and offers the same (if not better) shock absorption many have grown to love. This running shoe is still a great hybrid neutral-stability shoe, with a little extra support thanks to an external heel counter and Asics' 4D Guidance System foam that rests under the inner arch. Otherwise, it's a super-light and well-cushioned shoe for walking and running to which any foot can easily acclimate.

These lived up to my expectations, and I still consider them the best running shoes available." Another shopper agreed, saying, "The Gel-Kayano 30 is the best Gel-Kayano in the last 5 years."
